Local Heat Transfer Resistance of Air-Film Formula Elements

Variables
Local Heat Transfer Resistance
Local Heat Transfer Resistance is the ratio of the temperature difference, dT, to the heat transfer Q. This is analogous to Ohm's law.
Symbol: HTResistance
Measurement: Thermal ResistanceUnit: K/W
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: hht
Measurement: Heat Transfer CoefficientUnit: W/m²*K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Area
The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
Symbol: A
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
