FAQ

What is the Local Heat Transfer Rate?
The Local Heat Transfer Rate is the measure of heat energy transfer per unit area at a specific location on a surface in a fluid flow. Local Heat Transfer Rate is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter for Heat Flux Density. Note that the value of Local Heat Transfer Rate is always positive.
Can the Local Heat Transfer Rate be negative?
No, the Local Heat Transfer Rate, measured in Heat Flux Density cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Local Heat Transfer Rate?
Local Heat Transfer Rate is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter[W/m²] for Heat Flux Density. Kilowatt per Square Meter[W/m²], Watt per Square Centimeter[W/m²], Watt per Square Inch[W/m²] are the few other units in which Local Heat Transfer Rate can be measured.
