Thermal Conductivity of Metals and Alloys: Data Table & Reference Guide (original) (raw)
Thermal conductivities of common metals, metallic elements and alloys.
Thermal Conductivity - k - is the quantity of heat transmitted due to an unit temperature gradient, in unit time under steady conditions in a direction normal to a surface of the unit area.
Thermal Conductivity - k - is used in the Fourier's equation.
