Heat transfer analysis calculator

Heat transfer analysis is the study and quantification of the exchange of thermal energy between systems or components within a system. It involves understanding how heat is transferred from one object or medium to another due to temperature differences. A common formula used in heat transfer analysis, particularly for steady-state conduction through a material with uniform thermal conductivity, is Fourier’s Law:

Where:

• $Q$ is the heat transfer rate
• $k$ is the thermal conductivity of the material
• $A$ is the cross-sectional area through which heat is transferred
• $\Delta T$ is the temperature difference across the material
• $L$ is the thickness of the material
