Thermal Conductivity in Conduction Formulas

Thermal Conductivity is rate of heat passes through specified material, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance. And is denoted by k. Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K for Thermal Conductivity. Note that the value of Thermal Conductivity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Thermal Conductivity?

Thermal Conductivity is rate of heat passes through specified material, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance. Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K for Thermal Conductivity. Note that the value of Thermal Conductivity is always positive.

Can the Thermal Conductivity be negative?

No, the Thermal Conductivity, measured in Thermal Conductivity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Thermal Conductivity?

Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K[W/(m*K)] for Thermal Conductivity. Kilowatt per Meter per K[W/(m*K)], Calorie (IT) per Second per Centimeter per °C[W/(m*K)], Kilocalorie (th) per Hour per Meter per °C[W/(m*K)] are the few other units in which Thermal Conductivity can be measured.
