Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2
Question:
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2 and a thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a window that is 0.750 cm thick and that has an area of 2.00 m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each?

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of heat through matter (i.e., solids, liquids, or gases) without bulk motion of the matter. In another ward, conduction is the transfer of energy from the more energetic to less energetic particles of a substance due to interaction between the particles. Conduction heat transfer in gases and liquids is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during their random motion.
