How to Calculate Effective heat transfer coefficient?
Effective heat transfer coefficient calculator uses Effective Heat Transfer Coefficient = Convective Heat Transfer Coeff of Solar+(Equivalent Radiative Heat Transfer Coefficient*Convective Heat Transfer Coeff of Solar Bottom)/(Equivalent Radiative Heat Transfer Coefficient+Convective Heat Transfer Coeff of Solar Bottom) to calculate the Effective Heat Transfer Coefficient, Effective heat transfer coefficient formula is defined as a measure of the overall heat transfer ability of a solar air heater, taking into account the heat transfer coefficients of the fluid and the radiative heat transfer between the absorber plate and the surroundings. Effective Heat Transfer Coefficient is denoted by he symbol.
How to calculate Effective heat transfer coefficient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Effective heat transfer coefficient, enter Convective Heat Transfer Coeff of Solar (hfp), Equivalent Radiative Heat Transfer Coefficient (hr) & Convective Heat Transfer Coeff of Solar Bottom (hfb) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Effective heat transfer coefficient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.14 = 4.5+(0.8*3.2)/(0.8+3.2).
