Where:<br />

• Q/A = the rate of heat transfer through the slab per unit area (BTU/h∙ft 2 ) or<br />

(W/m 2 ) perpendicular to the flow,<br />

• L = the thickness of the slab (ft or m),<br />

• T 1 =(°F) or (ºC) is the higher temperature (at the left),<br />

• T 2 = the lower temperature (at the right)<br />

• k = the thermal conductivity of the slab material (BTU/h∙ft∙ºF) or (W/m∙K)<br />

• R t = the thermal resistance of the slab material (°F∙h∙ft 2 fBTU) or (m 2 ∙K/W)<br />
