To determine the thermal conductivity of a structural material, a large 15-cm-thick slab of the material is subjected to a uniform heat flux of 2500 W/m2 while thermocouples embedded in the wall at 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: Distance from the Surface (cm) Temperature (C) Test 1 0 40 5 65 10 97 15 132 Test 2 0 95 5 130 10 168 15 208 From these data, determine an approximate expression for the thermal conductivity as a function of temperature between 40 and 208C.

Atmospheric pressure can be reported in several ways. At sea level the average atmospheric pressure is 15 lbs/sq in, or 101.3 kPa, or 760 mm Hg, or 1 atmosphere. Since all of these are equal, you can easily convert from one to the other. For example, if your tire pressure is 32.0 lbs/square inch, you can determine the kilopascals in the following manner: 32.0 lb/sq in X 101.3 kPa / 15 lbs/sq in = 216 kPa. Now, find the pressure in mm Hg of a container that has a pressure of 9.92 atm. mm Hg
