Thermal conductivity is the positive material coefficient in Fourier's law. It may depend on temperature, composition, and direction.
Thermal conductivity is a physical property of a material that measures its ability to conduct heat. It quantifies how well heat energy can transfer through a material when there is a temperature gradient. Materials with high thermal conductivity can quickly transfer heat, while those with low thermal conductivity are better insulators.
