Fourier's Law
Summary:
Fourier's law
, also known as the
law of heat conduction
, states that the
rate of heat transfer
through a material is proportional to the
negative gradient of temperature
and the
area through which the heat flows
. This
fundamental principle
is crucial in understanding and
designing thermal systems
, as it describes how
heat energy
is
conducted through materials
in response to
temperature differences
.
