Q
Q: What happens to the rate of heat transfer through a material if its thickness is increased?
Solution:
The rate of heat transfer decreases with an increase in thickness, as per Fourier's Law.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that heat transfer occurs when there is a temperature difference across a material.
Step 2: Recognize that thicker materials have more distance for heat to travel through.
Step 3: Realize that as the thickness of the material increases, it takes longer for heat to pass through.
Step 4: Remember that according to Fourier's Law, the rate of heat transfer is inversely related to the thickness of the material.
Step 5: Conclude that if the thickness increases, the rate of heat transfer decreases.
