Thanks for the tip! I've been looking through that wikipedia page and some information on thermopedia but I'm still a little lost on how I can use that law to determine the temperature of the object
If I know the temperatures of the two thermal reservoirs (one hot, one cold), the area of contact between each reservoir and the body, and the coefficients of conduction, it seems like I should be able to calculate the equilibrium temperature of the body, but I can't seem to figure out how.
Let me try to explain my situation a little better:
I have a system which is supposed to convert heat energy to electric energy (how this is done isn't important), to accomplish that I have two concentric copper tubes and between them there is a fluid. On the inside of the inner copper tube hot...
Thanks that helps a lot; then I'm looking for an equation that models the temperature of a body between two thermal reservoirs. I assume an equation like that would involve surface area of contact for both thermal reservoirs, and coefficient of conductivity for both thermal reservoirs (no...
I need create a math model to predict the temperature of a copper pipe with hot air flowing through based on the temperature of the air, properties of the air and copper, and the surface area of contact between the air and the pipe. The pipe will start cold but I will be looking to the...
