The accompanying sketch shows the schematic arrangement for measuring
the thermal conductivity by the guarded hot plate method. Two similar 1 cm
thick specimens receive heat from a 6.5 cm by 6.5 cm guard heater. When
the power dissipation by the wattmeter was 15 W, the thermocouples
inserted at the hot and cold surfaces indicated temperatures as 325 K and
300 K. What is the thermal conductivity of the test specimen material?
