Thermal conductivity is the property of any material which show the speed of vibration and electron transfer from one point to another.

LMTD=MTD is valid only when both the fluids in the heat exchanger are subjected to phase change only.

So option D is not correct.
(1)

If temperature of solid is increased it will expand thus its molecules will get separated thus reducing the thermal conductivity?

Not only convection. Heat flow in still water also occurs due to conduction. Hence option A is partially correct.

Thermal conductivity is inversely proportional to temperature(According Fourier's law of heat conduction).

K=Ko(1+bT) here b is negative for solid so thermal conductivity decreases while increase in temperature.

Satish said:   1 decade ago
K(Thermal conductivity)inversely proportional to temperature(T)(Fourier's law of heat conduction).

Jyosna said:   1 decade ago
Thermal conductivity is inversely proportional to the temperature, according to fourier's law.

For pure metals temperature increases k value decreases for alloys it will increases.

Ajit kumar said:   1 decade ago
Thermal conductivity is a property of material and it is independent of temperature.
