Heat flux is the time rate of heat transfer per unit_______________?
Correct answer: B. Area
- A. Length
- B. Area
- C. Volume
- D. None of these
Explanation
Heat flux is heat-transfer rate divided by the area normal to heat flow, so its units are W/m². Dividing by length or volume gives different quantities, not heat flux.
