Expert Solution
Step 1

1. Thermal conductivity (k).

The thermal conductivity is a characteristic of a material that allows the heat to transfer through this material. If the thermal conductivity is high, then the conduction of heat through this material is high and vice versa.

  1. Titanium (Ti) = 21.9 W/m·K.
  2. Polycrystalline silica (SiO2) = 1.5 W/m·K.
  3. Atactic PS = 0.025 W/m·K.

 

1. Heat capacity (Cp).

It is defined as the heat absorbed by any material corresponding to the temperature change. It is the function of temperature and varies with different materials.

  1. Polycrystalline silica (SiO2) = 720 J/kg·K.
  2. Atactic PS = 1.3 J/kg·K.
  3. Titanium (Ti) = 0.52 J/kg·K.
