- Find the constant of proportionality. z is directly proportional to the sum of x and y. If x=2 and y=5, then z=28.arrow_forwardFourier's Law of heat transfer (or heat conduction) states that the heat flow vector F at a point is proportional to the negative gradient of the temperature: that is, F = -kVT, which means that heat energy flows from hot regions to cold regions. The constant k is called FondSk the conductivity, which has metric units of J/m-s-K or W/m-K. A temperature function T for a region D is given below.
