Calculate Heat Flux







Formula

The formula to calculate Heat Flux is:

\[ q = ht \cdot (T_w - T_f) \]

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:

\[ q = 2.59 \cdot (305 - 275) \]

Evaluating:

\[ q = 77.7 \text{ W/m²} \]

The Heat Flux is 77.7 W/m².
