History & Background
The concept was proposed by French scientist Joseph Fourier in 1822 (Fourier's Law). He established that heat transfer is proportional to the temperature gradient and cross-sectional area.
Conversion Details
Thermal conductivity measures the ability of a material to conduct heat. The SI unit is W/(m·K).
Common conversions: 1 W/(m·K) ≈ 0.5778 BTU/(h·ft·°F).
