Characteristic Length for Lumped System Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Characteristic Length = (Volume)/(Area)
Lchar = (VT)/(A)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Characteristic Length - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic Length is the ratio of volume and the area.
Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume: 0.63 Cubic Meter --> 0.63 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Lchar = (VT)/(A) --> (0.63)/(50)
Evaluating ... ...
Lchar = 0.0126
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.0126 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.0126 Meter <-- Characteristic Length
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

5 Heat Transfer Parameters Calculators

Absolute Humidity of Air at Initial Air Temperature
Go Absolute Humidity of Air(tg) = (((Liquid Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Inside Temperature-Liquid layer temperature))-Gas Phase Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Bulk Gas Temperature-Inside Temperature))/(Gas Phase Mass Transfer Coefficient*Enthalpy of Evaporation))+Absolute Humidity (ti)
Biot Number using Characteristic Length
Go Biot Number = (Heat Transfer Coefficient*Characteristic Length)/(Thermal Conductivity of Fin)
Heat Flux
Go Heat Flux = Thermal Conductivity of Fin*Temperature of Conductor/Length of Conductor
Diameter of Rod Circular Fin given Area of Cross-Section
Go Diameter of Circular Rod = sqrt((Cross-sectional area*4)/pi)
Characteristic Length for Lumped System
Go Characteristic Length = (Volume)/(Area)
