What happens to heat transfer per unit time in conduction heat transfer as thermal conductivity decreases?
With a linear profile inside the brick wall of thermal conductivity of 0.71
W/(mk), determine the amount of heat flux if the temperature at one side
of the wall is 50 C and the other side 30 C? The thickness of the brick is
50 cm.
28.4 W
O 14.2 W
O 14.2 W/m^2
28.4 W/m^2
Not sufficient information
The heat flux across a certain conductor is found to be 288 W m-2. The temperature drop along the whole
conductor is found to be 2.9 K. The length of the conductor is 13.1 cm. Estimate the thermal conductivity of
the material and enter your answer using three significant digits. Don't forget to include the unit as appropriate.
