HEAT TRANSFER
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
The thermal conductivity of a material describes
how well the material conducts heat
TRANSFER OF HEAT.
CONDUCTION.
The rate of heat transfer (Q/t) via
conduction depends on
Q TH - TC
The length of the conductor l H= =kA
t L
The properties of the material
Thermal Conductivity
Large values of k (200 - 400
J/(s m C) occur for good heat
conductors.

A cabin has a 0.159-m thick wooden floor [k = 0.141
W/(m C)] with an area of 13.4 m2. A roaring fire
keeps the interior of the cabin at a comfortable 18.0
C while the air temperature in the crawl space
below the cabin is 20.6 C. What is the rate of heat
conduction through the wooden floor?
(A) 31 W
(B) 214 W
(C) 459 W
(D) 138 W
(E) 245 W
In an experiment to determine the thermal
Conductivity of a bar of a new alloy, one end of the bar
is maintained at 0.0 C and the other end at 100.0 C.
The bar has a cross-sectional area of 1.0 cm2 and a
length of 15 cm. If the rate of heat conduction through
the bar is 24 W, what is the thermal conductivity of
the bar?
(A) 24 W/(m C)
(B) 160 W/(m C)

The coefficient is the coefficient of linear expansion.
L is the original length of the solid
T is the change in temperature
L is the change in length
