Constants Used
[Stefan-BoltZ] - Stefan-Boltzmann Constant Value Taken As 5.670367E-8
Variables Used
Heat - (Measured in Joule) - Heat is the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures (flowing from the high-temperature system to the low-temperature system).
Body Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Body Surface Area is the total surface area of the human body.
Geometric View Factor - Geometric View Factor (in radiative heat transfer) is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface. In a complex 'scene' there can be any number of different objects, which can be divided in turn into even more surfaces and surface segments.
Temperature of Surface 1 - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature of Surface 1 is the temperature of the 1st surface.
Temperature of Surface 2 - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature of Surface 2 is the temperature of the 2nd surface.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Body Surface Area: 8.5 Square Meter --> 8.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Geometric View Factor: 0.1 --> No Conversion Required

13 Basics of Modes of Heat Transfer Calculators

Thermal Resistance of Spherical Wall
Go Thermal Resistance of Sphere Without Convection = (Radius of 2nd Concentric Sphere-Radius of 1st Concentric Sphere)/(4*pi*Thermal Conductivity*Radius of 1st Concentric Sphere*Radius of 2nd Concentric Sphere)
Radiation Thermal Resistance
Go Thermal Resistance = 1/(Emissivity*[Stefan-BoltZ]*Base Area*(Temperature of Surface 1+Temperature of Surface 2)*(((Temperature of Surface 1)^2)+((Temperature of Surface 2)^2)))
Radial Heat Flowing through Cylinder
Go Heat = Thermal Conductivity*2*pi*Temperature Difference*Length of Cylinder/(ln(Outer Radius of Cylinder/Inner Radius of Cylinder))
Heat Transfer through Plane Wall or Surface
Go Heat Flow Rate = -Thermal Conductivity*Cross Sectional Area*(Outside Temperature-Inside Temperature)/Width of Plane Surface
Radiative Heat Transfer
Go Heat = [Stefan-BoltZ]*Body Surface Area*Geometric View Factor*(Temperature of Surface 1^4-Temperature of Surface 2^4)

Go Heat Flow Rate = Heat Transfer Coefficient*Exposed Surface Area*(Surface Temperature-Ambient Air Temperature)
Total Emissive Power of Radiating Body
Go Emissive Power per Unit Area = (Emissivity*(Effective Radiating Temperature)^4)*[Stefan-BoltZ]
Thermal Diffusivity
Go Thermal Diffusivity = Thermal Conductivity/(Density*Specific Heat Capacity)
Radiosity
Go Radiosity = Energy Leaving Surface/(Body Surface Area*Time in seconds)
Thermal Resistance in Convection Heat Transfer
Go Thermal Resistance = 1/(Exposed Surface Area*Co-efficient of Convective Heat Transfer)
Overall Heat Transfer based on Thermal Resistance
Go Overall Heat Transfer = Overall Temperature Difference/Total Thermal Resistance
Temperature Difference using Thermal Analogy to Ohm's Law
Go Temperature Difference = Heat Flow Rate*Thermal Resistance
Ohm's Law
Go Voltage = Electric Current*Resistance
