List of thermal conductivities

In physics, thermal conductivity, k, is the intensive property of a material that indicates its ability to conduct heat.

It is defined as the quantity of heat, Q, transmitted in time t through a thickness L, in a direction normal to a surface of area A, due to a temperature difference ΔT, under steady state conditions and when the heat transfer is dependent only on the temperature gradient.


 * thermal conductivity = heat flow rate × distance / (area × temperature difference)


 * $$k=\frac{Q}{t}\times\frac{L}{A\times\Delta T}$$

This list makes up the data for the smaller list provided in Thermal conductivity.
