Combined radiation and convection

Input(s)

Ai\boldsymbol{A}_{i}: Area (ft2)\left(\mathrm{ft}^{2}\right)

σ\sigma: Stephen Boltzmann Constant (lb/h3R4)\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{h}^{3} \mathrm{R}^{4}\right)

ei\boldsymbol{e}_{i}: Emissivity (fraction)

TiT_{i}: Maximum Air Temperature at the Water Surface (R)

Output(s)

Q: Heat Transfer Rate (Btu/s)(\mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{s})

Formula(s)

Q=σAieiTi4Q=\sigma * A_{i} * e_{i} * T_{i}^{4}
