Thermal Conductivity 1
Thermal Conductivity 1 :
(Phys; Symb: K) The capacity of a material to transmit heat, measured as the quantity of heat passing through a unit cube, the opposite faces of which are maintained at a unit temperature difference. The resultant value is called the thermal conductivity coefficient. Note: Thermal conductivity is the measure of the ease or difficulty with which heat travels though a given substance. In general, dense, solid materials, such as metals, are better heat conductors than light or loose substances, such as granular or fibrous materials. Good thermal conductors are usually also good electrical conductors
