Temperature different between two plate

In summary, the temperature difference between two plates refers to the difference in temperature measured at two different points on the surface of the plates. It can be calculated by subtracting the temperature of one plate from the temperature of the other plate and is affected by factors such as plate material, surface area, environment, and heat transfer. This measurement is important for understanding heat transfer and can be controlled by adjusting various factors or using insulation or heat transfer materials.

can anyone tell me what formulae i can use to calculate the temperature of two plate?

eg i have a cement plate on top of a steel plate. each plate say 0.5cm thick. on one side of the cement plate is at 1000 degree c. in still air of room temperature 20 degree c. what's the temperature of the steel plate?

There is not nearly enough information in that question to even begin calculations.

i uploaded an image to explain better. but that information you need? it doesn't have to be a calculation, just a formula will do.

1. What is the difference in temperature between two plates?

The temperature difference between two plates refers to the difference in temperature measured at two different points on the surface of the plates. This can vary depending on factors such as the material of the plates, the surrounding environment, and the amount of heat being applied or removed from the plates.

2. How is the temperature difference between two plates calculated?

The temperature difference between two plates can be calculated by subtracting the temperature of one plate from the temperature of the other plate. This will give the numerical difference in temperature between the two points.

3. What factors can affect the temperature difference between two plates?

Several factors can affect the temperature difference between two plates, including the material of the plates, the surface area and thickness of the plates, the surrounding environment, and the amount of heat being applied or removed from the plates.

4. Why is the temperature difference between two plates important?

The temperature difference between two plates is important because it can provide valuable information about the heat transfer between the plates. This can be useful in understanding the efficiency of a heating or cooling system, as well as identifying potential issues or imbalances in heat distribution.

5. How can the temperature difference between two plates be controlled?

The temperature difference between two plates can be controlled by adjusting factors such as the heat source, the material and thickness of the plates, and the surrounding environment. Additionally, insulation or heat transfer materials can be used to regulate the temperature difference between the plates.
