Abstract
THE practical man's insistence on simple “overall “coefficients has led to the accumulation of lengthy tables of empirical data for use in calculating the heat transmitted through such structures as cold stores, etc., but little attention has been devoted to a scientific study of the basic facts concerning the heat transfer. Consequently, the interesting phenomena presented by even the most elementary case that of a heated surface placed vertically-have passed unnoticed until recently.
