Heat radiator

Heat conduction

Heat flux (q) [W/m²]: The heat flow rate per unit of area

Heat convection :

Heat flux (q) [W/m²]: The heat flow rate per unit of area

Heat flux (q) [W/m²]: The heat flow rate per unit of area

Fourier's Law: Only for unidirectional flow and steady condition

k [W/mK]: Thermal conductivity

Joseph Fourier

The heat transfer rate (Q) [W]: How much heat was transfered

A [m²]: Area

q [W/m²]: Heat flux

dT/dx [K/m]: Temperature variation in relation of the x

P.S.: In this conditions, q is a constant.

If i have a unidirectional and unsteady heat flow, I need to use a general way to write it

p: [kg/m³] Density

c: [J/K] Specific heat capacity

∂t: partial derivative on the time

α: [m²/s] Thermal diffusivity

But we can make cut some parts in specifics situations:

Steady: dT/dt = 0

Unsteady

Black bodies. The model for the perfect thermal radiator is a so-called black body. This is a body which absorbs all energy that reaches it and reflects nothing.

h (W/m²K): film coefficient or heat transfer coefficie

T (K): Temperature

Forced convection: h really is independent of ∆T in situations forced past a body and ∆T is not too large

Natural convection: When fluid buoys up from a hot body or down from a cold one, h varies as some weak power of ∆T—typically as ∆Te1/4 or ∆Te1/3

The intensity of this radiant energy flux depends upon the temperature of the body and the nature of its surface.

T (K): Temperature
