Total Heat Transfer Coefficient in Boiling and Condensation Formulas

Total Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per degree celcius. Thus area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place. And is denoted by h_T. Total Heat Transfer Coefficient is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of Total Heat Transfer Coefficient is always positive.
