Relative thermal resistance
- Relative thermal resistance
Relative thermal resistance is a measure of the energy required to mix water of two different temperatures (and thus different densities). Comparisons will be made against the differences in the density of water at 3.98°C and 5°C. Fact|date=March 2007 Since this is a relative measure, there are no units involved.
It is calculated at intervals of 1cm using the following equation:where is the density at the botton of the stratum being consideredand is the density at the top of the stratum being considered
