Question

What is thermal conductivity and what does thermal conducivitiy necessary for what and thermal conductivity is important for clinic but why?

Answer 1

Thermal conductivity can be described as the ability of any given material to transfer or conduct heat and the rate at which the heat is transferred by a mode of conduction through a given area of the material. Thermal conductivity is important inthe dissipation of the energy of a system or a building formed in the system/ building. So when the thermal conductivity of a building or its fabric is low, the lesser is the amount of energy required to maintain the inner atmosphere or environment. For a clinic thermal conductivity is important because it helps in maintaining a particular temperature inside the clinic or a hospital facility so as to make the residents or a patients stable and comfortable. Higher fluctuations in thermal conductivity can cause discomfort in the clinics patients or cause problems in temperature regulation of the building. Hence for the above mentioned reasons thermal conductivity of the clinic becomes very important for heat dissipation and temperature regulation.
