    This document discusses heat transfer through plane walls and provides three equations to model this transfer: 1) Q = kA(T1 - T2)/(x2 - x1), which gives the heat flow Q through a single layer wall as a function of thermal conductivity k, area A, temperature difference T1-T2, and thickness x2-x1. 2) An electrical circuit analogy is described where heat transfer is modeled similarly to electric current. 3) For a multi-layer wall, Q = A(T1 - T3)/(x12/kA + x23/kB), giving the heat flow as a function of the temperatures at the first and third layers,

    Q = k A ( – dT/dx ) where:

    Q dx = – k A dT Q = Heat flow, Watt constant @ SSSF


    A = Exposed Area, m2
    Q ʃ dx = – k A ʃ dT dT = T1 – T2 = Temperature Difference, C or K
    Δx = (x2 – x1) = thickness, m
    Q Δx = – k A ΔT
    dT/dX = negative (decreasing T with increasing X), K/m

    Q = – k A (T2 – T1) k = thermal conductivity, W/m K constant for given


    ( x2 – x 1 ) material (refer to table)

    Electrical Circuit Analogy

    ΔT = E voltage
    Q = I current
    RT = R resistance

    From Ohm’s Law,

    E = IR
    ΔT = Q RT
    Q = ΔT / RT

    Q = (T1 – T2) / RT per unit area, m2

    Q = A (T1 – T2) / RT Watt


    where:

    2
    RT = thermal resistance, m K/W
    (refer to tabulated data)
    MULTI-LAYER PLANE WALL

    Q = kA A (T1 – T2)/x12
    Q = kB A (T2 – T3)/ x23

    (T1 – T2) = Q x12/ kA A


    + (T2 – T3) = Q x23/ kB A

    (T1 – T3) = (Q/A) (x12/ kA + x23/ kB )

    Q = A (T1 – T3)
    (x12/ kA + x23/ kB)

    Electrical Analogy

    Q = A (T1 – T3) / RT Watt

    RT = RA + RB m2 K/W
