Description
Since not all people live at sea-level, it would be useful to include air-pressure (or air-density) correction factor to convective heat transfer calculation. It also affects evaporation but influence there is very very small.
The usual correction in literature is:
hc = hc_seaLevel * k
k being (pressureAtSite / pressureAtSeaLevel)**n
n ranges from
