Welcome back MEDIC — missed you this week. The formula for thermal conductivity (k) is derived from Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction. It relates the rate of heat transfer (Q/t) through a material to the temperature gradient and the area of heat transfer. (Q)/(t) = -k A (dT)/(dx) Where: Q/t is the rate of heat transfer (in Watts, W) k is the thermal conductivity (in W/(m·K)) A is the cross-sectional area through which heat is flowing (in m²) dT/dx is the temperature gradient (in K/m) Rearranging to solve for thermal conductivity (k): k = -(Q)/(t) (1)/(A) (dx)/(dT) Send me the next one 📸
