Find the thermal conductivity of the insulating material

Reference no: EM13537624

A box with a total surface area of 1.11 m2 and a wall thickness of 3.1 cm is made of an insulating material. A 12.9 W electric heater inside the box maintains the inside temperature at 16.3C above the outside temperature. Find the thermal conductivity of the insulating material.
