Resistance to heat transfer is = Fouling Factor (m^2.K)/W.

Resistance to heat transfer is inversely proportional to conductance so the conductance unit is w/k then the resistance unit is k/w.

Am I correct? Anyone, please clarify me.

For conductive heat transfer the resistance is;

x/(kA)
x = wall thickness = m(unit),
k = thermal conductivity = w/(m*K),
A = area = m^2.

Then,
Resistance = (w^-1) * k.

For convective heat transfer q = hA(dT),
Resistance = 1/(hA),
h=heat transfer co eff = w/m^2 * k.
A = m2
Then,
Resistance = w^-1 *k.
