Solid conduction through

See 2-3.1. Electrical conduction through solids takes place both through the bulk material and over the surface. In most cases surfaces have different physical and chemical properties than the bulk, for example due to contamination or moisture. Volume and surface resistivity can be separately measured for solid materials such as antistatic plastic sheet. Powders represent a special case since although both surface and bulk conduction occur, their contributions cannot be individually measured and the volume or bulk resistivity of a powder includes surface effects. 

Insulation and Heat-Flow Principles. Heat flows from places of higher temperature to those of lower temperature hy one or more of three modes 11) Conductance through solids (2 convection by induced motion of fluids carrying heat and (3) radiation by heal waves emitted from a surface. The rate of heal flow in solids depends upon temperature difference 7j - 7j and the resistances encountered. The heal flow, under steady stale, is expressed by ...

Heat can be conducted through solids, liquids, and gases. Conduction in solids is the most illustrative since it is the most common heat transfer mechanism in that type of medium. Conduction is the energy transfer between adjacent molecules or atomic particles at motion. The nature of the motion depends on the system and on the molecular and particle state. The motion can range from vibration of atoms in a crystal lattice of solids to the chaotic fluctuations of gas molecules. In metallic solids, movement of free electrons contributes to heat conduction. 

Noise is unwanted sound. It is a form of vibration conducted through solids, liquids, or gases. Noise can startle, annoy, and disrupt concentration, sleep, or relaxation. It can interrupt communication and interfere with job performance and safety, and it can lead to hearing loss and circulatory problems. Noise levels greater than 90 dBA should be avoided. Workers must wear hearing protection if workplace noise levels are greater than 90 dBA.

Heat or energy is conducted through solids by two mechanisms. In the first, which applies primarily to metallic solids, heat, like electricity, is conducted by free electrons which move through the metal lattice. In the second mechanism, present in all solids, heat is conducted by the transmission of energy of vibration between adjacent atoms. 

Recalling what is written in (Section 3.2 Principles of One-dimensional Heat Transfer) and widely described elsewhere in other books [33-35], the process of heat transfer is controlled either by conduction through solid materials (metals or polymers) or by convection at the interface between a solid (metal or polymer) and the surrounding atmosphere (gas or liquid). Moreover, the convective heat transfer is achieved either in free convection (when the surrounding fluid is motionless) or in forced convection (when the surrounding fluid is stirred). The equations which apply, with a one-directional heat transfer, are the following ...

Heat conduction through solid is proportional to thermal conductivity of the solid and the resistance to heat flow at the areas of contact between individual components of the insulation. 

There are three conimon methods of transferring heat, viz., radiation, conduction through solids, and conduction throu fluids. In practice a combination of two or even all of these methods may take place simultaneously. Radiation will be discussed in Chap. 18.
