2. Characteristic scales

2.1 Thermal conduction

On heat conduction :

Thermics at the submicron scale. Thermal conduction at nanoscales [BE 8 291] by S. Volz and P. Chantrenne

The classical model of heat conduction is based on the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. Under this assumption, a temperature can be defined for a volume element. Recall that for a gas, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of...
