Fourier Equation & Thermal Conductivity of Materials | Thermal Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the fourier equation and thermal conductivity of materials. Fourier Equation: Conduction is primarily a molecular phenomenon requiring temperature gradient as the driving force. Experimental evidence does indicate that steady-state one-dimensional flow of heat by conduction through a homogeneous material is given by the Fourier Law- Q = - k A dt/dx q = [...]
