Convection • Q = hA(T2-T1) • h = 50.00; (w/m^2-k) for al • Value for h for aluminum is based on Heat Transfer Coefficients5 • Picture based on drawling from Convection7 Guyon, 6
Radiation • Q = CAES(T2-T1)^4 • E = 0.84; for Anodized Aluminum-black • S = 5.67e-08; Stephan-Boltzmann constant • Constant for emissivity for aluminum is based on Material Emissivity Properties6 Guyon, 7
Solving for Area • A = Q/(K*h*(t_ref - t_in) + C*E*S*(t_ref - t_in)^4); • This solves for the area needed to get rid of the heat based on the convection and radiation equations • The thought for these radiators is similar to that of a car radiator Guyon, 8
