Formula for Heat Transfer Coefficient
The heat transfer coefficient (h) is calculated using the following formula:
h = q / (A ⋅ ΔT)
- h: Heat Transfer Coefficient (e.g., W/(m²·K) or BTU/(hr·ft²·°F))
- q: Rate of Heat Transfer (e.g., Watts or BTU/hr)
- A: Heat Transfer Surface Area (e.g., m² or ft²)
- ΔT: Temperature Difference (e.g., Kelvin or Fahrenheit)
