Newton’s cooling law defines the convective heat transfer coefficient:<br />

(h is expressed in BTU/hr-ft²-°F)<br />

rearranged:<br />

= ΔT∙h<br />

where:<br />

Rc = 1/h and is the resistance to convective heat flow<br />

Rc is also analogous to electrical resistance and is easier to use when<br />

determining combined conductive and convective heat transfer.<br />
