    Fourier's Law: Module 2: Steady-State Heat Conduction

    Uploaded by

    1) Fourier's law describes the rate of heat transfer through a material as proportional to the negative temperature gradient and thermal conductivity of the material. 2) For one-dimensional steady-state heat flow through a flat slab or cylinder, the heat flux is equal to the thermal conductivity times the temperature difference divided by the thickness or length. 3) For a hollow cylinder, the heat flux can be expressed using the logarithmic mean radius which provides a better approximation of the average resistance than the outer or inner radius alone.
