a Radiation and Convection from Surfaces in Various Positions, by G. B. Wilkes and C- M. F. Peterson}?^
(A.S.H.V.E. Transactions, Vol. 44, 1938, p. 513.) Conductances are for surfaces of the stated eznissivityip
facing surroundings having an emissivity equal to 0.9 and at the same temperature as the ambient air.

b The recommended surface conductance for calculating heat losses for still air for non-reflective surfaces^-'
is 1.65 Btu. For a 15 mph wind velocity, the recommended value is 6.0 Btu. These coefficients were de-'jtT rived from Fig. 4, based on tests conducted at the University of Minnesota, and apply to vertical surfaces.^ **

Notes: a Spaces of uniform thickness, bounded by moderately smooth surfaces. '
b Where a range of thickness is given, the given conductance is the average over the range; extreme .
values within the range differ therefrom by less than 10 percent.

c Interpolation, and moderate extrapolation, of conductance values is permissible for other v&Iuefl of. mean temperature, temperature difference and effective emissivity B.
d Effective emissivity of space, B, is given by ~
-- 1 where ei and ej are the emissiviti`
of the surfaces of the air space, (See Section C. Table 1).
