Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Surface Temperature
The Surface Temperature is the temperature of a surface that affects heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation in thermodynamic processes.
Symbol: Tw
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Temperature of Characteristic Fluid
The Temperature of Characteristic Fluid is the specific temperature of a fluid that influences heat transfer processes in conduction, convection, and radiation applications.
Symbol: Tf
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
