Thermal conductivity is highest for metals such as aluminum and lower for<br />

porous materials such as brick. It is inversely proportional to thermal<br />

resistance.<br />

K= 1/R t<br />

Comment:<br />

k α 1/R, R= thermal resistivity and the thermal resistance R t = L∙R<br />

Thermal conductivity is highest for metals such as aluminum and lower for<br />

porous materials such as brick. It is inversely proportional to thermal<br />

resistance. In real terms, the Fourier expression means that the rate of heat<br />

flow increases with increasing temperature difference. increases with<br />

increasing thermal conductivity and decreases with increasing slab thickness.<br />

Heat flow may be expressed in English units or metric units.<br />
