Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. For water, it indicates how efficiently heat can be transferred through it. The thermal conductivity of water at room temperature (around 25°C) is approximately 0.606 W/m·K (Watts per meter per Kelvin). This relatively h...
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. For water, it indicates how efficiently heat can be transferred through it. The thermal conductivity of water at room temperature (around 25°C) is approximately 0.606 W/m·K (Watts per meter per Kelvin). This relatively high value allows water to effectively transfer heat. These physical properties of water are essential for understanding flow behaviors and heat transfer in environmental systems (Ho & Tan, 2021). Dr. Amira Askri – ARAG 220 Dr. Amira Askri – ARAG 220
