Radiative Heat Transfer Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Heat
Heat is the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures (flowing from the high-temperature system to the low-temperature system).
Symbol: Q
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Body Surface Area
Body Surface Area is the total surface area of the human body.
Symbol: SABody
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Geometric View Factor
Geometric View Factor (in radiative heat transfer) is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface. In a complex 'scene' there can be any number of different objects, which can be divided in turn into even more surfaces and surface segments.
Symbol: F
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Temperature of Surface 1
Temperature of Surface 1 is the temperature of the 1st surface.
