Convection (6, 4)
Equations:
q
=
h A
Example:
Given: Tc= 300_K, A=200_m^2, h=0.005_W/(m^2 K), q=10_W.
Solution: ∆T=10_ C, Th=36.8500_ C.
Conduction + Convection (6, 5)
If you have fewer than three layers, give the extra layers a zero thickness and any nonzero conductivity. The two
temperatures are fluid temperatures–if instead you know a surface temperature, set the corresponding
convective coefficient to 10
