A metal plate 4.00 mm thick has a temperature difference of 32.0 °C between its faces. It transmits 200 kcal/h through an area of 5.00 cm^2. Calculate the thermal conductivity of this metal in W/m·K.
Added by Ashley V.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the thermal conductivity using the formula K = ΔQ / (A * ΔT * t), where ΔQ is the heat transferred per unit time, A is the area of the plate, ΔT is the temperature difference, and t is the thickness of the plate. Show more…

Two surfaces of a 2 -cm-thick plate are maintained at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ respectively. If it is determined that heat is transferred through the plate at a rate of $500 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$, determine its thermal conductivity.
