To determine the thermal conductivity of a structural material, a large 15 cm-thick slab of the material was subjected to a uniform heat flux of 2500 W/m2 , while thermocouples embedded in the wall 2.5 cm. intervals are read over a period of time. After the system had reached equilibrium, an operator recorded the thermocouple readings shown below for two different environmental conditions


From these data, determine an approximate expression for the thermal conductivity as a
function of temperature between 40 and 208°C.
GIVEN
Thermal conductivity test on a large, 6-in.-thick slab
Thermocouples are embedded in the wall 2 in. apart
Heat flux (q/A) = 2500 W/m2
Two equilibrium conditions were recorded (shown above)
FIND
An approximate expression for thermal conductivity as a function of temperature between 40 and
2080C
ASSUMPTIONS
One dimensional conduction
