Abstract
Heat transfer is an area of thermal engineering the focuses on the transport, exchange, and redistribution of thermal energy. The three modes or ways that heat can be transferred have been termed conduction, convection, and radiation. In this chapter, the basic physics associated with conduction heat transfer will be elaborated, and it will be shown through examples how the tools and analysis typically used for conduction problems can be applied to design and analysis when fire occurs.
