| Conduction-Fourier's Law |
- Fourier’s law is based on experimental evidence
- Heat flux is a vector quantity. For the ‘x’ direction:

- For all directions in cartesian frame:

| Fourier's Law (contd.) |
- Notice that −k∇T is independent of frame of reference
- Use mathematical transformations to obtain the equation in other frames of reference
