| Conduction(Intro) |
- Transfer of energy from more energetic particles to less energetic particles. Energy transfer between the neighboring molecules. Does not require bulk motion of molecules.
In gases and liquids: conduction is due to collisions and of molecules during their random motion.
In solid: energy transfer due to vibration of the molecules in a lattice.

| Conduction(Contd.) |
- Rate equation to compute amount of heat energy transferred per unit time.
- Fourier’s law

- k, is thermal conductivity (W/m.K) and ‘n’ is the direction normal to the direction of lines of constant temperature
