How to interpret the result
The result describes the simplified physical model shown above. Enter values that describe the same physical state and use consistent units. A calculated value can be mathematically correct while still being a poor representation of a real system if the assumptions do not match the situation.
Thermal properties can depend on temperature, composition, density, moisture content, surface condition and manufacturing method. For engineering decisions, use property data and component ratings that apply to the actual material and operating conditions.
