Calculate Heat Flux







Formula

The formula to calculate Heat Flux is:

\[ Q = ht \cdot (T_w - T_{aw}) \]

Where:

Definition

Heat Flux is the heat transfer rate per unit area normal to the direction of heat flow.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Q = 13.2 \cdot (305 - 299.74) \]

Evaluating:

\[ Q = 69.4319999999999 \text{ W/m²} \]

The Heat Flux is 69.4319999999999 W/m².
