FAQs on Heat Conduction

What is the formula to find Heat Conduction?
The formula of Heat Conduction is expressed as Heat Conduction = (Thermal Conductivity*Area of Furnace*Total Time*(Temperature of Wall 1-Temperature of Wall 2))/Thickness of Wall. Here is an example- 1.097528 = (11.09*0.00205*28*(300-299))/0.58.
How to calculate Heat Conduction?
With Thermal Conductivity (k), Area of Furnace (Afurnace), Total Time (Ttotal), Temperature of Wall 1 (T1), Temperature of Wall 2 (T2) & Thickness of Wall (tw) we can find Heat Conduction using the formula - Heat Conduction = (Thermal Conductivity*Area of Furnace*Total Time*(Temperature of Wall 1-Temperature of Wall 2))/Thickness of Wall.
Can the Heat Conduction be negative?
No, the Heat Conduction, measured in Power cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Heat Conduction?
Heat Conduction is usually measured using the Watt[W] for Power. Kilowatt[W], Milliwatt[W], Microwatt[W] are the few other units in which Heat Conduction can be measured.
