Fourier's law of heat conduction applies to _____________ surfaces?
Correct answer: A. Both A. and B.
- A. Both A. and B.
- B. Non-isothermal
- C. Isothermal
- D. Neither A. and B.
Explanation
Fourier’s law relates conductive heat flux to the temperature gradient, and it can be applied with respect to isothermal surfaces as well as non-isothermal temperature fields. Thus both listed cases are included.
