Heat Gain through Partition, Floor or Ceiling Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Gain = Heat Transfer Coefficient for Interior Structure*Surface Area of Duct*Cooling Load Temperature Difference
Q_gain = U_i*SA_Duct*CLTD
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Gain - (Measured in Watt) - Heat gain is the term given to a temperature rise within a space due to heat from the sun (solar radiation).
Heat Transfer Coefficient for Interior Structure - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Heat Transfer Coefficient for Interior Structure is a measure of the overall ability of a series of conductive and convective barriers to transfer heat.
Surface Area of Duct - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface area of duct is the sum of the areas of all faces of the duct.
Cooling Load Temperature Difference - (Measured in Kelvin) - Cooling Load Temperature Difference is an equivalent temperature difference used for calculating the instantaneous external cooling load across a wall or roof.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Transfer Coefficient for Interior Structure: 1.5 Btu (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Fahrenheit --> 8.51739501160224 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin (Check conversion here)
Surface Area of Duct: 120 Square Foot --> 11.1483648000892 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Cooling Load Temperature Difference: 29 Fahrenheit --> 271.483327150345 Kelvin (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_gain = U_i*SA_Duct*CLTD --> 8.51739501160224*11.1483648000892*271.483327150345

Evaluating ... ...

Q_gain = 25778.7065878854

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25778.7065878854 Watt -->87960.5979967118 Btu (IT) per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

87960.5979967118 ≈ 87960.6 Btu (IT) per Hour <-- Heat Gain
