External Convection in Conduction in Plane Wall Formulas

External Convection is the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat in case of convective heat transfer. And is denoted by h_o. External Convection is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of External Convection is always positive.

FAQ

What is the External Convection?

External Convection is the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat in case of convective heat transfer. External Convection is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of External Convection is always positive.

Can the External Convection be negative?

No, the External Convection, measured in Heat Transfer Coefficient cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure External Convection?

External Convection is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin[W/m²*K] for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Watt per Square Meter per Celcius[W/m²*K], Joule per Second per Square Meter per Kelvin[W/m²*K], Kilocalorie (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Celcius[W/m²*K] are the few other units in which External Convection can be measured.
