< Conduction, Convection and Radiation Calculators

Heat Exchange by Radiation due to Geometric Arrangement

Go Heat Flux = Emissivity*Cross Sectional Area*[Stefan-BoltZ]*Shape Factor*(Temperature of Surface 1^(4)-Temperature of Surface 2^(4))

Heat Transfer According to Fourier's Law

Go Heat Flow Through a Body = -(Thermal Conductivity of Fin*Surface Area of Heat Flow*Temperature Difference/Thickness of The Body)

Convective Processes Heat Transfer Coefficient

Go Heat Flux = Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Surface Temperature-Recovery Temperature)

Thermal Resistance in Convection Heat Transfer

Go Thermal Resistance = 1/(Exposed Surface Area*Coefficient of Convective Heat Transfer)

Thermal Resistance in Conduction Formula

Thermal Resistance = (Thickness of The Body)/(Thermal Conductivity of Fin*Cross Sectional Area)
R_th = (L)/(k_o*A_cs)

What is Conduction?

Conduction is the transfer of heat or electricity through a material without the movement of the material itself. It occurs due to the collision and transfer of energy between neighboring particles in solids, liquids, or gases.
