Thickness of Plane Wall for Conduction through Wall Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length = ((Inner Surface Temperature-Outer Surface Temperature)*Thermal Conductivity*Area of Wall)/Heat Flow Rate
L = ((T_i-T_o)*k*A_wall)/Q
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Inner Surface Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Inner Surface Temperature is the temperature at the inner surface of the wall (either plane wall or cylindrical wall or spherical wall, etc).
Outer Surface Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Outer Surface Temperature is the temperature at the outer surface of the wall either plane wall or cylindrical wall or spherical wall, etc.
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 Wall - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Wall refers to the surface area of the wall, which is the total amount of space that it occupies. It is typically measured in square units such as square feet or square meters.
Heat Flow Rate - (Measured in Watt) - Heat Flow Rate is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material, usually measured in watt. Heat is the flow of thermal energy driven by thermal non-equilibrium.
