    Calculating heat transfer coefficient from experimental data

    Cheers, that's exactly what I've done, and it seems to work! Thanks very much for the help. :smile:

    Calculating heat transfer coefficient from experimental data

    this is free convection. The tent was heated up, and then allowed to cool naturally. The graph is the results of the thermometer readings taken from within the tent. Ive been working out the reduction in energy of the air between two temperatures, say 34 and 20, and then dividing by the...

    Calculating heat transfer coefficient from experimental data

    I have a graph which shows the rate of cooling of a tent from about 35 deg C to 15 deg C, it looks like this: http://students.bath.ac.uk/en0jma/graph.gif How do I work out the convective heat transfer coefficient of the tent from this data? Thanks for any help

    Thermodynamics: Modelling the internal environment of a tent

    Hi, I am trying to model the temperature profile of the inside of a tent, with a view to introducing a fan which can suck outside air, to inside the tent, to cool it down on a hot sunny summer morning. I thought I would start by just trying to model the interior of a tent in these...
