Thermal Conduction Equation

For a / b > 1.4
Steady State Constant

For a / b < 1.41
a/b ratio

Where:

Q = Rate of Steady State Heat Conductivity (W)
S = Conduction Shape Factor (m) which has the dimension of length, and k is the thermal conductivity of the medium between the surfaces. The conduction shape factor depends on the geometry of the system only.
k = Thermal Conductivity (W/m · °C)
T1 = Temperature (°C)
T2 = Temperature (°C)
a = Width and height (m)
b = Width and Height (m)
L = Length (m)
