The discussion centers on calculating thermal resistance for convection using the equation R = 1/hA. The user is facing a challenge due to the lack of an area (A) value, only having a thickness of 4 meters. Participants suggest that additional information, such as thermal conductivity, may be necessary to clarify the problem and find a solution. The need for a complete problem statement is emphasized to facilitate accurate assistance.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying thermodynamics, engineers working with heat transfer systems, and anyone involved in thermal analysis and design.
Why not give us the whole problem? It is pretty hard to figure out what you are talking about from what you have written. Is it possible that thermal conductivity could be part of the problem?williamx11373 said:I need to use the equation ( thermal resistance for convection)
R= 1/hA
but I am not given an Area, I am only given 4 meters as a thickness. how do I find A to use for the equation to solve for R.
