Tpolycarb (x) = 13320 C m x + 122 o C o LStudents will obtain a different temperature profile for each material they study and canthen use Fourier’s Law to determine the conduction heat transfer rate. dT kq''x = 1k = (Tw,s 1 Tp,s ) dx LBy providing the thermal conductivity, k, or the heat flux, q''x , it is possible to calculatethe other parameter. Alternatively, students could determine heat flux from the steadystate heat generation experiment outlined below. 0.21W mKq''x = (122 o C 1 88.8 o C) = 697 W 2 0.01m mOne Dimensional Conduction Through Composite Systems:Steady state heat conduction
