Fourier's law applies to the heat transfer by__________________?
Correct answer: C. Conduction
- A. Convection
- B. Radiation
- C. Conduction
- D. All A., B. & C.
Explanation
Fourier’s law relates conductive heat flux to the temperature gradient, q = −k(dT/dx). Convection is described by Newton’s cooling law and radiation by the Stefan-Boltzmann relation.
