The three modes or mechanism of heat transfer is present in the figure below, choose your
answer on the preceding questions below:
11. Rising warm air currents is an example of:
A. Radiation B. Conduction C. Convection

12. A thermometer works because the liquid in its contracts when heated. This is an example
of:
A. Radiation B. Conduction C. Convection

14. Problem:
Determine the thermal conductivity of a wood used in a 1.22 meter square test panel, 2.5
cm thick, if during 4 hr. test period. There are conducted126 kCal through the panel with a
temperature differential of 6 °C between the surfaces.
kCal kCal kCal kCal
A. 0.1 B. 0.0996 C. 0.0896 D. 0.0796
hr m° C hr m° C hr m° C hr m° C

1.22 m

2.54cm
SOLUTION:

Q/A = k(∆T/∆X)

126 kCal/1.22m2 = k(6 oC/0.0254 m)

= (0.4372 kCal/oC-m)/4 hr.

=0.109 kCal/hr.oC-m final answer
