Practice question · Fill in the blanks
Complete the statement with the correct term.
The law describing heat conduction through a slab, Q/, is known as ______ law.
Word bank: displaced · pressure · frequency · Fourier's
Hints
- The rate depends on the material property, the area and the steepness.
- The steepness is the temperature difference divided by the thickness.
Show the answer
The law describing heat conduction through a slab, Q/, is known as Fourier's law.
Why
Fourier's law: heat flux thermal conductivity , area and temperature gradient .
