Abstract
Fourier’s Law of heat conduction states that heat flows in proportion to the temperature gradient. A number of problems of interest can be analyzed just on the basis of Fourier’s Law. A more complete description of heat conduction involves, in addition, application of the principle of conservation of energy, leading to a second-order differential equation for temperature. Such situations are dealt with in Chapter 3.
