Conduction Thermal Resistance in Slab Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thermal Resistance = Slab Thickness/(Thermal Conductivity*Area of Slab)
R_th = t_slab/(k*A_slab)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thermal Resistance - (Measured in Kelvin per Watt) - Thermal resistance is a heat property and a measurement of a temperature difference by which an object or material resists a heat flow.
Slab Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Slab Thickness is the distance through a slab.
Thermal Conductivity - (Measured in Watt per Meter per K) - 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.
Area of Slab - (Measured in Square Meter) - The area of slab is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by slab.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Slab Thickness: 6.2 Meter --> 6.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Thermal Conductivity: 10.18 Watt per Meter per K --> 10.18 Watt per Meter per K No Conversion Required
Area of Slab: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_th = t_slab/(k*A_slab) --> 6.2/(10.18*50)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Thermal Resistance?

When two physical system are described by similar equations and have similar boundary conditions, these are said to be analogous. The heat transfer processes may be compared by analogy with the flow of electricity in an electrical resistance. As the flow of electric current in the electrical resistance is directly proportional to potential difference (dV); similarly heat flow rate , Q, is directly proportional to temperature difference (dt), the driving force for heat conduction through a medium.
