SaM - Heat Conduction • Thermal Resistance

Remeber:

==Heat Conduction is defined by the tranfer of heat without the motion of matter==. The formula for the thermal resistance when we talk about heat conduction is:$R_{TH}=\frac{t}{k\cdot A}$Where:

• $t$ is the thickness.
• $A$ is the area.
• $k$ is the thermal conductivity, it is similar to the convective heat transfer coefficient but it does depend on space, its unit of measure is: $\left[\frac{\text{W}}{\text{°K}\cdot \text{m}}\right]$

---

• There is an error, the unit measure of $k$ is $\frac{W}{m^2\cdot °K}$
