Heat Transfer Coefficient Calculator

Compute heat transfer Q = h·A·ΔT and thermal resistance.

Input Data

Heat Transfer Coeff W Per M2K
W/(m²·K)
Area M2
m²
Temp Diff K
K

Results

Q = hAΔT.
400W
In kW.
0.4kW
R_th = 1/(hA).
0.05K/W

At a glance:Q = h·A·ΔT; R_th = 1/(hA). Complements heat-transfer-rate and thermal-conductivity.

Formula

Q = h·A·ΔT.

$$Q = h A \Delta T, \quad R_{th} = \frac{\Delta T}{Q} = \frac{1}{hA}, \quad Nu = \frac{hL}{k}, \quad Re = \frac{\rho v L}{\mu}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter h, area and ΔT.
  2. The tool returns Q and resistance.

Case Studies

h=10, A=2, ΔT=20

Q = 400 W, R_th=0.025 K/W.

FAQ

h units?

W/(m²·K); larger h means faster convection.
