Q3. What will be the simple correct formula for the rate of heat flow (q) through a wall of surface area A and thickness of t ? The two surfaces of the wall are at temperatures T1 and T2 (T1>T2). Consider thermal resistance for the heat transfer system as R_h.

a. q = R_h (T1 – T2)
b. q = R_h A (T1 – T2)
c. q = (T1 – T2) / R_h
d. q = R_h A ((T1 – T2) / t)
