eng.heat-transfer Calculator
Calculates conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer rates from thermal conductivity, temperatures, and geometry. The thermal resistance network analogy treats each heat transfer mode as a resistor — total resistance determines heat flux.
Inputs
K
How easily heat flows through the material (W/m·K). Metals are high; insulation materials are very low.
A
Two-dimensional surface extent (m²). For complex shapes, break into simpler sub-shapes and sum.
L
Perpendicular measurement through the material. For insulation: thicker is better. For beams: directly affects bending resistance.
Dt
Thermal state of the substance. Check whether the formula needs Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin (K = °C + 273.15).
Results
thermal resistance
Opposition to heat flow (K/W). Higher = better insulation. Works like electrical resistance — resistances in series add, in parallel follow the reciprocal rule.
heat flow
The value at the specified point or condition.
heat flux
The value at the specified point or condition.
status
Current state of the system, process, or metric — typically pass/fail, healthy/warning/critical, or a descriptive classification.
