How to Use the Heat Flow Calculator

  1. Enter the thermal conductivity of the material in W/m·K.
  2. Enter the area through which heat is flowing in m².
  3. Enter the temperature difference across the material in °C.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the heat flow.
  5. The result will be displayed in watts (W).

Working Principle

Heat flow (Q) through a material is calculated using Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction. The formula is Q = k × A × ΔT, where k is the thermal conductivity, A is the area, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various engineering and scientific applications, including building insulation design, heat exchanger analysis, and material selection for thermal management systems.
