Heat Conduction And Thermal Resistance Calculator
Heat Conduction And Thermal Resistance: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers layer materials and thicknesses and area. Stub page. Not published yet.
Heat Conduction And Thermal Resistance Calculator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering physics: thermodynamics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: layer materials and thicknesses, area, surface temperatures or ambient conditions, convection coefficients and geometry.
Outputs: heat flow rate (W), overall U value, total R value, interface temperatures, surface temperature and required insulation thickness.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Fourier’s law Q = kA delta T / L for a plane wall. Thermal resistance R = L/(kA) for conduction and 1/(hA) for convection; series layers add resistances. Cylindrical walls use R = ln(r2/r1)/(2 pi k L).
