Biot Number using Heat Transfer Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Biot Number
Biot Number is a dimensionless quantity having the ratio of internal conduction resistance to the surface convection resistance.
Symbol: Bi
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Heat Transfer Coefficient
The Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per kelvin. Thus area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place.
Symbol: h
Measurement: Heat Transfer CoefficientUnit: W/m²*K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Thickness of Wall
The thickness of Wall refers to the distance between one surface of your model and its opposite sheer surface. Wall thickness is defined as the minimum thickness your model should have at any time.
Symbol: 𝓁
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal Conductivity is rate of heat passes through specified material, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance.
Symbol: k
Measurement: Thermal ConductivityUnit: W/(m*K)
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
