Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In heat transfer, what does the term 'thermal resistance' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that heat can flow from one place to another, like from a hot object to a cold one.
  • Step 2: Recognize that some materials allow heat to flow easily, while others do not.
  • Step 3: Learn that 'thermal resistance' is a measure of how much a material resists the flow of heat.
  • Step 4: Realize that higher thermal resistance means less heat flows through the material, while lower thermal resistance means more heat flows.
