Temperature due to free convection
Input(s)
\(T_{1}\): Temperature at Cooled Plate (K)
\(T_{2}\): Temperature at Heated Plate \((\mathrm{K})\)
\(\mathrm{y}\): Distance from Centre \((\mathrm{cm})\)
B: Half Distance between the Plates \((\mathrm{cm})\)
Output(s)
T: Temperature \((\mathrm{K})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{T}=0.5 *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}\right)-0.5 *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{B}}\right)
\]
