Problem:

Two surfaces exist, a hot and cold. Between them a span of air of a known distance and convection coefficient exists. If the temperature of one surface is known, what is a good model to predict the temperature of the other? Heat flux between the two is unknown. I kindly request help setting this problem up, as well as determine an accuracte model.

Thanks,

Tom,

If you know the convection coefficient why do you say the heat flux is unknown?
