From the concept of kinetic theory, mean travel velocity of the gas molecules is prescribed by the relation
Where,
G = Universal gas constant
M = Molecular weight of the gas
T = Absolute temperature

The value of Lorenz number in 10-8 W ohms/K2 is
For liquids, thermal conductivity is governed by the relation
Where,
CP = Specific heat at constant pressure
M = Molecular weight of the liquid
p = Mass density
A = Area
Consider the following parameters
(i) Composition
(ii) Density
(iii) Porosity
(iv) Structure
Then, thermal conductivity of glass wool varies from sample to sample because of variation is
The thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity of a metal at absolute temperature are related as
To effect a bond between two metal plates, 2.5 cm and 15 cm thick, heat is uniformly applied through the thinner plate by a radiant heat source. The bonding must be held at 320 K for a short time. When the heat source is adjusted to have a steady value of 43.5 k W/m2, a thermocouple installed on the side of the thinner plate next to source indicates a temperature of 345 K. Calculate the temperature gradient for heat conduction through thinner plate. In the diagram, the upper plate is 2.5 cm thick while the lower is 15 cm thick.
The diffusion equations
Ɏ2t + q g = (1/α) (d t/d r)
Governs the temperature distribution under unsteady heat flow through a homogenous and isotropic material. The Fourier equation follows from this expression when
