I'm just trying to understand how to crudely calculate the cold side temperature of a car exhaust insulation. Obviously I've never done this before and some of my questions might sound stupid.
Twoballcane, thanks for the reply.
So ignoring radiation I need to calculate the composite Heat...
Is it possible to calculate the cold face temperature of insulation panel knowing :
k (W/m.K) thermal conductivity
A (m2) Area
Th (K) Hot Face Temperature
x (m) wall thickness
I don't know:
Q (W) Heat Transfer
Tc (K) Cold Face Temperature
Guess I need to use Fourier's equation:
Q=k.A(Th-Tc)/x...
