A hollow square box is made from 1ft^2 sheets of a prototype insulating material that is 0.75 inches thick. A 120W electrical heater is placed inside the box. Over time thermocouples attached to the box show that the interior and exterior surfaces of one face have reached the constant temperatures of 150 degrees and 90 degrees. What is the thermal conductivity?

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.
