Heat Transfer by Conduction through a Plane Wall
Heat Transfer by Conduction Through a Plane Wall Formula |
||
| \( Q_c \;=\; \dfrac{ - k \cdot A_c \cdot ( T_2 - T_1 ) }{ l }\) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \(Q_c \) = heat transfer by conduction | \(Btu\;/\;hr\) | \(W\) |
| \(A_c \) = area cross-section | \(in^2\) | \(mm^2\) |
| \( T_1 \) = temperature of one surface of the wall | \(F\) | \(K\) |
| \( T_2 \) = temperature of the other surface of the wall | \(F\) | \(K\) |
| \( k \) = thermal conductivity | \(Btu-ft\;/\;hr-ft^2-F\) | \(W\;/\;m-K\) |
| \( l \) = thickness of material | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
