The determination of the rate of transmission of heat from the surface of a heated metal to colder water in contact with it, or from hot water to a colder metal surface, is a problem of some importance in the theory of boilers and surface condensers, but the difficulty of experimentally determining this rate and the constants involved, for cases which occur in ordinary practice, is so great that, as far as the author is aware, only approximate results have been obtained.
