How to Calculate and Solve for Quantity of Heat Conduction | Fluidization

Last Updated on July 29, 2021

The image above represents quantity of heat conduction.

To compute for quantity of heat conduction, three essential parameters are needed and these are Heat Transfer Coefficient (h), Area (A) and Change in Temperature (ΔT).

The formula for calculating quantity of heat conduction:

Q = hAΔT

Where:

Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction
h = Heat Transfer Coefficient
A = Area
ΔT = Change in Temperature

Let’s solve an example;
Find the quantity of heat conduction when the heat transfer coefficient is 14, the area is 7 and the change in temperature is 2.

This implies that;

h = Heat Transfer Coefficient = 14
A = Area = 7
ΔT = Change in Temperature = 2

Q = hAΔT
Q = (14)(7)(2)
Q = 196

Therefore, the quantity of heat conduction is 196 J/Kg K.

Calculating for Heat Transfer Coefficient when the Quantity of Heat Conduction, the Area, the Change in Temperature is Given.

h = Q / AΔT

Where;

h = Heat Transfer Coefficient
Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction
A = Area
ΔT = Change in Temperature

Let’s solve an example;
Find the heat transfer coefficient when the quantity of heat conduction is 22, the area is 12 and the change in temperature is 8.

This implies that;

Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction = 22
A = Area = 12
ΔT = Change in Temperature = 8

h = Q / AΔT
h = 22 / (12)(8)
h = 22 / 96
h = 0.229

Therefore, the heat transfer coefficient is 0.229.

Calculating the Area when the Quantity of Heat Conduction, the Heat Transfer Coefficient and the Change in Temperature is Given.

A = Q / hΔT

Where;

A = Area
Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction
h = Heat Transfer Coefficient
ΔT = Change in Temperature

Let’s solve an example;
Find the area when the quantity of heat conduction is 12, the heat transfer coefficient is 8 and the change in temperature is 4.

This implies that;

Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction = 12
h = Heat Transfer Coefficient = 8
ΔT = Change in Temperature = 4

A = Q / hΔT
A = 12 / (8)(4)
A = 12 / 32
A = 0.375

Therefore, the area is 0.375.

Calculating the Change in Temperature when the Quantity of Heat Conduction, the Heat Transfer Coefficient and Area is Given.

ΔT = Q / hA

Where;

ΔT = Change in Temperature
Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction
h = Heat Transfer Coefficient
A = Area

Let’s solve an example;
Find the change in temperature when the quantity of heat condition is 14, the heat transfer coefficient is 10 and the area is 5.

This implies that;

Q = Quantity of Heat Conduction = 14
h = Heat Transfer Coefficient = 10
A = Area = 5

ΔT = Q / hA
ΔT = 14 / (10)(5)
ΔT = 14 / 50
ΔT = 0.28

Therefore, the change in temperature is 0.28.
