	Heat conduction
		Gradient heat transport depends on three quantities: the conductivity of the material, the cross-sectional area of the material, and the spatial gradient of temperature.
		Heat flow in the y-direction is assumed to be negligible, and variations in the cross-sections of the bars are taken into account by characterizing the conductivity C(x)of each bar a function of position.
		Heat is applied to the bar at x=0 in one of three ways: as constant temperature, as constant heat flux, or as sinusoidal temperature.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Heat conduction
		Heat conduction or Thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and hence acts to even out temperature differences.
		When heat is being conducted from one fluid to another through a barrier, it is sometimes important to consider the conductance of the thin film of fluid which remains stationary next to the barrier.
		The heat generated by the current C at a point x where the temperature-excess is 0 is equal per unit length and time (t) to that lost by conduction -d(gkdo/dx)/dx, and by radiation hpo (emissivity h, perimeter p), together with that employed in raising the temperature gcdo/dt, and absorbed by the Thomson effect sCdo/dx.

	Heat Transfer
		Conduction is heat transfer by means of molecular agitation within a material without any motion of the material as a whole.
		Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.
		In ordinary heat transfer on the Earth, it is difficult to quantify the effects of convection since it inherently depends upon small nonuniformities in an otherwise fairly homogeneous medium.

	Conduction
		Heat conduction (as opposed to electrical conduction) is the flow of internal energy from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature by the interaction of the adjacent particles (atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, etc.) in the intervening space.

		Convection is not, in itself, a singular heat transport vehicle as is conduction and radiation.

	Quantized heat conduction by photons observed
		Generally, even experts consider that superconductors are ideal insulators as regards to usual heat conduction.
		These new experimental results demonstrate that at very low temperatures heat is transferred by electromagnetic radiation, much in analogy to how light is propagated, along the superconductors, and furthermore these observations show that the heat transfer rate cannot have an arbitrary value: it is limited by what is called a quantum of thermal conductance.
		This effect has implications for, e.g., performance and design of ultra-sensitive radiation detectors in astronomy, whose operation at very low temperature is largely dependent on weak thermal coupling between the device and its environment.
