An electric heater (P=200 W) is inside a box (length of each side=20 cm, thickness of each side=1 cm). Thermal equilibrium is reached. Afterwards the temperatures of the outer walls and the inner walls are, respectively, 20 C and 60 C.
What is the heat flux from the box? What is the thermal conductivity of the box's material?
I'm sure this is a piece of cake for some of you. I've no idea what to do. So..what do I do? I assume this is about Fourier's law.
