  2. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    In alloys the change in electrical conductivity is usually smaller and thus thermal conductivity increases with temperature, often proportionally to temperature. Many pure metals have a peak thermal conductivity between 2 K and 10 K. On the other hand, heat conductivity in nonmetals is mainly due to lattice vibrations . Except for high-quality ...

  3. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Electrical conductivity of water samples is used as an indicator of how salt-free, ion-free, or impurity-free the sample is; the purer the water, the lower the conductivity (the higher the resistivity). Conductivity measurements in water are often reported as specific conductance, relative to the conductivity of pure water at 25 °C.

  4. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    The relationship between thermal conductance and resistance is analogous to that between electrical conductance and resistance in the domain of electronics. Thermal insulance (R-value) is a measure of a material's resistance to the heat current. It quantifies how effectively a material can resist the transfer of heat through conduction ...

  5. Electrical steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_steel

    The typical relative permeability (μ r) of electrical steel is 4,000-38,000 times that of vacuum, compared to 1.003-1800 for stainless steel. [15] [16] [17] The magnetic properties of electrical steel are dependent on heat treatment, as increasing the average crystal size decreases the

  6. Wiedemann–Franz law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiedemann–Franz_law

    The current density j is observed to be proportional to the applied electric field and follows Ohm's law where the prefactor is the specific electrical conductivity. Since the electric field and the current density are vectors Ohm's law is expressed here in bold face. The conductivity can in general be expressed as a tensor of the second rank ...

  7. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    These thermal greases have low electrical conductivity and their volume resistivities are 1.5⋅10 15, 1.8⋅10 11, and 9.9⋅10 9 Ω⋅cm for 860, 8616 and 8617 respectively. The thermal grease 860 is a silicone oil with a Zinc Oxide filler and 8616 and 8617 are synthetic oils with various fillers including Aluminum Oxide and Boron Nitride.

  8. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    In thermal conductivity, k is defined as "the quantity of heat, Q, transmitted in time (t) through a thickness (L), in a direction normal to a surface of area (A), due to a temperature difference (ΔT) [...]". Thermal conductivity is a material property that is primarily dependent on the medium's phase, temperature, density, and molecular bonding.

  9. Drude model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drude_model

    Dividing the thermal conductivity by the electrical conductivity = eliminates the scattering time and gives = At this point of the calculation, Drude made two assumptions now known to be errors. First, he used the classical result for the specific heat capacity of the conduction electrons: c v = 3 2 n k B {\displaystyle c_{v}={\tfrac {3}{2}}nk ...
