MERM Practice Problem 37 #3

[mccarmic20]

Hi:

In this heat transfer practice problem, they have equated Q/A = E/A. How can that be if Q=EA?

Is this just a misprint and should it just say Q/A = E?

Thanks for any help!

I don't have my practice prob with me but check maybe you're looking for unit heat transfer "q" w/c

is equal to Q/A that is why q=Q/A=E/A.

You're dead on mccarmic20 - I just checked my problem from doing this just a few days ago and that's what I had written out, q = Q/A
