Conduction of Heat in Solids H. S. Carslaw, J. C. Jaeger
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

Consider the heat conduction equation: dT/dx = K * d2T/dx2 I'm interested in the semi-infinite solid. For conduction of heat, a material medium is necessary. An example of conduction through contact between two solids is a cooking pot on the solid surface of a hot stove. An insulator).Discuss this statement with reference to the mechanism of thermal energy transfer in solids. This can be understood if we see how solids, liquids and gases are bound to their respective atoms or molecules. The greatest flow of heat possible between materials is where there is a direct conduction between solids. (c) Metals are good conductors of heat whereas wood is a poor conductor of heat (i.e. Conduction occurs mostly in solids. In all cases the temperature throughout is constant at t=0 The first two are. The atomic picture also will help explain why conduction is more critical in solids: in solids the atoms are close jointly and unable to move round. I want to be able to compare four different cases.
