Description

A function to calculate total dry heat transfer (convective and radiative) from a surface with known surface area.

Usage

HeatT(
  Ts,
  Ta,
  atm = 101.325,
  dim = 2 * sqrt(SA/pi),
  SA,
  Emis = 0.95,
  par = "FALSE"
)

Arguments

Ts	A vector or single value pertaining to the surface temperature of the object in question (that from which heat is being transfered), in degrees Celsius.
Ta	A vector or single value pertaining to the ambient temperature experienced by the object in question (agian, that from which heat is being transfered), in degrees Celsius.
atm	The atmospheric pressure at the time that surface temperature measurements were drawn in kiloPascals. Default is 101.325.
dim	The length of the object from which surface temperature measurements were drawn, in the orientation of airflow, in metres. Default is the diameter of a circle with the surface area defined by SA.
SA	The surface area of the object from which surface temperature measurments were drawn, in metres squared.
Emis	The emissivity of the object from which surface temperature measurments were drawn. Default is 0.95.
par	A logical parameter that defines whether heat transfer calculation are to be conducted by parallel processing. Default is false.

Details

Note that conductive heat transfer is not yet included in total heat transfer calculations, and wind assumed to be absent.

Examples

my_data = read.csv("C:/ThermDat/Surface_Temp.csv")
horizontal_dim = 0.15
SA_circle = pi*(0.15/2)^2
HeatT(Ts = c(my_data$SurfaceT), Ta = 21, atm = 100.1, dim = horizontal_dim, SA = SA_circle, Emis = 0.98, par = "T")
