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)

$$ \mathrm{T}=0.5 *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}\right)-0.5 *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{B}}\right) $$
