Heat Transfer from fire to human skin
Heat Transfer from fire to human skin
(OP)
Hello,
I've been racking my brain the past few days on this one, and was hoping someone could help, as heat transfer is not my strong suit.
I'm looking to find the radiant heat Flux from a natural gas fire source to a person's skin approximately 20 feet away. Natural gas is being expelled from an accumulator through a pipe. Can anyone shed sone light on this and point me in the right direction? Thank you!

RE: Heat Transfer from fire to human skin
Your question is not sufficiently precise; how big is the fire? A candle-sized gas fire would produce almost nothing at 20 ft, while a 5 ft wide fire would generate a huge radiative load.

The fire would be about 6 ft wide and 8-10 feet tall I believe are the initial parameters we're discussing. Thanks!

There are also spreadsheets from OGPE - haven't tried them myself but apparently of good quality:
