state and explain the laws of thermal conductvity

Answer»

The law of thermal conductivity for isotropic solid states that the rate of heat flowing perpendicularly across a solid is directly proportional to the area of the cross section and temperature gradient of the solid.LetAbetheCSAofthesolid,LetthedifferenceoftemperaturebetweentwopointsseparatedbyadistanceΔx=T2−T1Thus,Qt∝A(T2−T1)/ΔxSinceheatflowsfromhotterareatocolderarea,soT1>T2,soT2−T1<0Sotokeeptherateofheatflowpositive:anegativesignisadopted.Qt∝−A(T2−T1)/Δx⇒Qt=−KA(ΔT/Δx)Kistheconstantofproportionalityknownascoefficientofthermalconductivity.
