Study Notes
Heat Transfer in Metals
- The primary mode of heat transfer in a metal rod at a uniform temperature is conduction.
Thermal Conductivity
- The material with typically the highest thermal conductivity is copper.
Dominant Mode of Heat Transfer
- Thermal conduction is the dominant mode of heat transfer in scenarios where there is physical contact between objects, such as in a metal rod.
