exhaust heat dissipation
exhaust heat dissipation
(OP)
I am trying to establish the energy (watts) dissipated by an exhaust system. This is to determine the air flow needed to dissipate that heat from an enclosure. I want to considre only the forced convection effects by using the formula:
Q(W)=h* area * (Tsurface - Tambiant)
where h is the convection coefficient.
known:
area of exhaust and temperatures(at surface and ambiant)
Need a good ball park figure for the forced convection coefficient h.
thanks to all

RE: exhaust heat dissipation
Can you please provide more specific details about your exhaust system eg. is on a car, stationary genset etc?
Physical dimensions eg. exhaust material, diameter, length etc.
Alternatively just email me the details & I will try to assist.
