How to Evaluate One Dimensional Heat Flux?

One Dimensional Heat Flux evaluator uses Heat Flux = -Thermal Conductivity of Fin/Wall Thickness*(Temperature of Wall 2-Temperature of Wall 1) to evaluate the Heat Flux, One dimensional heat flux, We mean that temperature is a function of a single dimension or spatial coordinate. The basis of conduction heat transfer is Fourier's law. The symbol q is the heat flux, which is the heat per unit area. dT/dx is the thermal gradient in the direction of the flow. Heat Flux is denoted by q symbol.
