Calculate One Dimensional Heat Flux









Formula

The formula to calculate the One Dimensional Heat Flux is:

\[ q = -\frac{k_o}{t} \cdot (T_{w2} - T_{w1}) \]

Where:

Definition

Heat Flux is the heat transfer rate per unit area normal to the direction of heat flow. It is denoted by the letter "q".

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ q = -\frac{10.18}{0.13} \cdot (299 - 300) \]

Evaluating:

\[ q = 78.3076923076923 \text{ W/m²} \]

The Heat Flux is 78.3076923076923 W/m².
