Solutions for heat conduction in a solid with temperature dependent thermal conductivity

The study of heat transfer can be categorized into three different modes; they are conduction, convection and radiation. The project focused specifically on heat transfer by conduction. Heat conduction is the transfer of internal energy within a solid or a stationary fluid due to a temperature diffe...
