Thermal Conductivity in Free convection 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_e. Thermal Conductivity is usually measured using the Watt per Meter per K for Thermal Conductivity. Note that the value of Thermal Conductivity is always negative.

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 negative.

Can the Thermal Conductivity be negative?

Yes, the Thermal Conductivity, measured in Thermal Conductivity can 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.
