Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity is a thermodynamic property that quantifies the ability of a material to conduct heat, distinguished by the rate at which thermal energy is transferred through a unit thickness of the material under a unit temperature gradient, in accordance with Fourier’s law of heat conduction.
