Abstract
Thermal conduction in static materials is a heat transfer process in solids or static fluids. The carriers of the energy transfer can be molecules, atoms, electrons and phonons. The latter are energy quantums of elastic waves, in nonmetallic and metallic solids. Electrons transfer heat in metals, both in solid and fluid state.
