Abstract: The theoretical formula of wood's radial thermal conductivity was derived through anal-ogism in accordance with the cell structure and thermal conductivity of the wood. With the formula derived, the theoretical values of thermal conductivity of 20 species of trees were calculated and comparison was also made with the experimental values under the same conditions. The resultsand average error 4.9%.

Key words: thermal conductivity, analogism, wood
