A 1mm thick copper plate (k = 386 W/mK) is sandwhiched between two 5mm thick epoxy boards (k = 0.26 W/mK) that are 15cm x 20cm in size. If the thermal contact conductance on both sides of the copper plate is estimated to be 6000 W/mK, determine the error involved in the total thermal resistance of the plate if the thermal contact conductance are ignored. I.E. what effect does the thermal contact conductance have on the heat transfer rate.

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
