Heat loss by conduction Q / A ) Cond = 0.09765 x ( T - Ts ) Btu/Ft2Hr , T ,Ts : oF

QCd = 15.37 Btu/Ft2Hr

Heat loss by radiation QR = 0.174 x Є x ( Ts 4 - Ta 4 ) x 10^-8 ; Ts , Ta : oR

QR = 4.30 Btu/Ft2Hr

Heat loss by free convection QFC= 0.7944 x ( 1 / ( Ts + Ta )/2 )^ 0.181 x ( Ts - Ta ) ^1.266 Btu/Ft2Hr

Ts , Ta : oR
= 1.76 Btu/Ft2Hr
 Forced convection heat transfer QC= QFC x ( 1 + 1.277 V )^0.5 Btu/Ft2Hr
