With increase in temperature, the thermal conductivity of steel___________________?
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. Increases exponentially
Explanation
For steel, increasing temperature generally increases lattice scattering of conducting electrons, so thermal conductivity decreases over the usual engineering temperature range. The trend is not an exponential increase.
