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

Heat transfer is the exchange of heat energy between two bodies. There are three different modes of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection and radiation. In this project, the author will be focusing on how heat transfer by conduction can be affected by a change in thermal conductivity. Heat co...
