Consider a long rod of length L and uniform cross section A, in which one end is maintained at the high temperature TH and the other end at the low temperature TL. This is a steady state situation: the temperatures and the rate of heat transfer are constant in time. In this situation, every increment of energy that enters the rod at the hot end leaves it at the cold end.
For this case, the equation H = kA ΔT/ Δx will be,
H =kA ΔT/ Δx
= A ΔT/ R
= A (TH – TL)/ R (Since, ΔT = TH – TL) 232-1312_1.PNG
