Heat Transfer

Conduction, convection, radiation; thermal resistance

About this tool

Steady heat transfer for the three classical modes.

Modes

  • Conduction: Q = k · A · ΔT / L; reports U-value.
  • Convection: Q = h · A · ΔT.
  • Radiation: Q = ε · σ · A · (T₁⁴ − T₂⁴) with σ = 5.670374×10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴.

Material and flow presets are provided. Thermal resistance R = ΔT/Q is reported in all modes.
