n a lab testing material samples to determine the thermal conductivity of the material. Now, the test specimens are 18.5 cm long by 14.4 cm wide and 0.26 cm thick. The sample is placed in a test device so that one of the large sides is maintained at 13, while the other large side is kept at -7.  The heat transfer through the sample is measured to be 287 Watts.  Determine the thermal conductivity. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

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.
