Thermal Conductivity


It is denoted as k, λ, or κ & it is the property of a material to conduct heat. It is evaluated mainly in terms of Fourier's Law for heat conduction. Heat transfer arises at a lower rate in resources of low thermal conductivity than in resources of high thermal conductivity. Consistently, materials of high thermal conductivity are broadly used in heat sink applications and materials of low thermal conductivity are mainly used as thermal insulation. The temperature of a material depends upon the thermal conductivity. Thermal resistivity is the reciprocal of thermal conductivity.
