Q3. What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept. A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness t1, t2, t3 respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab.
