Chapter 16, Problem 16A.5AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The flux of energy arising from the temperature gradient of 10.5Km1 in a sample of argon gas is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Thermal conductivity is the term that is related to the ability to conduct the heat. The mean free path of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas and number density of the gas is directly proportional to the pressure of a gas. The product of number density and mean free path is there in the expression of thermal conductivity, therefore, the thermal conductivity is independent of the pressure of the gas.

Flux of energy is directly proportional to the temperature gradient in the system. The constant of proportionality is thermal conductivity.
