On heat conduction :
Thermics at the submicron scale. Thermal conduction at nanoscales
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...
