How do you calculate heat flux through a piece of metal??
Hello,
I need to calculate heat flux in W/m2 through a small cylindrical steel bar measuring 12mm length x 2mm diameter. At one end of the bar the temperature is 31C (the heated side) and at the other end it's 28C.
How do I calculate the heat flux in the above scenario? Is it possible? I'm guessing that I need to know the thermal conductivity of the steel at least?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
