Heat transfes coefficient for position The values of the convective heat transfer coefficients, h, are listed in Table 1 above. The values of h were calculated by plotting the value of the natural log of the left hand side of equation 1 below against time. To find h, the slope of the line of best fit for the data mentioned was multiplied by the density and specific heat of copper, then divided by negative four. This was derived from the equation below: Here, T is the final temperature of the rod, T., is the ambient air temperature, T, is the initial temperature of the rod, p..,,.. is the density of copper, C, ... is the specific heat of copper and D, is the rod diameter. Equation 1 was manipulated in order to solve for h.
