Conduction Thermal Resistance in Slab Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Conduction Thermal Resistance in Slab?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

R th = \frac{t slab}{k \cdot A slab}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

R th = \frac{6.2m}{10.18W/(m*K) \cdot 50m²}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

R th = \frac{6.2}{10.18 \cdot 50}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

R th = 0.0121807465618861K/W

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

R th = 0.0122K/W
