Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

Fourier's well-known heat equation, introduced in 1822, describes how temperature changes in space and time when heat flows through a material. In general, this formulation works well to describe heat ...

Fourier's law of heat conduction doesn't always hold — although precisely when it does, or doesn't, no one can yet say. As every physicist knows, Fourier's law of heat conduction states that the flow ...
