Find the thermal resistance of an alumin...

Find the thermal resistance of an aluminium rod of length 20cm and area of cross section `1cm^(2)` . The heat current is along the length of the rod. Thermal conductivity of aluminium `=200Wm^(-1)K^(-1)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The thermalresistance is `R=(x)/(KA)=(20xx10^(-2)m)/((200Wm^(-1)K^(-1))(1xx10^(-4)m^(2)))=10KW^(-1)` .
