Heat Transfer Coefficient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Transfer Coefficient = (Specific Heat*Mass)/(Thermal Contact Area*Thermal Time Constant)
h_coeff = (k*m)/(A*𝜏)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per kelvin. Thus, area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place.
Specific Heat - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Thermal Contact Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Thermal Contact Area is the interface region between two contacting surfaces where thermal conduction occurs.
Thermal Time Constant - (Measured in Second) - Thermal Time Constant refers to the time it takes for a system or material to reach a certain percentage (usually 63.2%) of its final temperature after experiencing a change in heat input.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Heat: 35.5 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 35.5 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required
Mass: 35 Kilogram --> 35 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Thermal Contact Area: 10.5 Square Meter --> 10.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Thermal Time Constant: 10 Second --> 10 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_coeff = (k*m)/(A*𝜏) --> (35.5*35)/(10.5*10)

Evaluating ... ...

h_coeff = 11.8333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.8333333333333 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.8333333333333 ≈ 11.83333 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin <-- Heat Transfer Coefficient

Is time constant in the universe?

Not only is the Earth not a fixed fulcrum around which the rest of the universe revolves, space and time themselves are not fixed and unchanging. In Einstein's universe, space and time are absorbed into a single, four-dimensional “spacetime,” and spacetime is not solid.

How to Calculate Heat Transfer Coefficient?

Heat Transfer Coefficient calculator uses Heat Transfer Coefficient = (Specific Heat*Mass)/(Thermal Contact Area*Thermal Time Constant) to calculate the Heat Transfer Coefficient, The Heat transfer coefficient formula is defined as the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force.
