Calculate Thermal Resistance (R)





Formula

The formula to calculate the thermal resistance (R) is:

\[ R = \frac{X}{A \times K} \]

What is Thermal Resistance?

Thermal resistance is a measure of the rate of change in temperature of a material per unit of energy added to the material. In other words, it is the resistance to the flow of heat energy. This concept is crucial in fields like engineering and construction to ensure proper thermal management.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the thermal resistance:

\[ R = \frac{0.05}{1 \times 0.04} = 1.25 \text{ K/W} \]

This means that the thermal resistance for this example is 1.25 K/W.
