The thermal efficiency (insulation U factor) of the material through which the heat is conducted, and the number of films (each surface to surface contact of similar or dissimilar materials is a film) through which the heat passes are what affect rates of transfer of heat by conduction. Metals as opposed to non metallic elements have a higher rate of heat transfer.
Without citing formulas: Film insulating is the most effective means of insulating an object from heat. Layers of thin materials can be better insulators than thick materials that are not layered. If the layers are dissimilar materials from one film to the next the insulation is even more effective. Air is one of the most effective insulating materials if it is trapped between layers to prevent motion from convection.
*When factoring in radiant or convective heat transfers to conductive heat transfer the surface between the heat source and the insulator is counted as the first film.

What type of energy transfer is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity?
Because of molecular vibration the heat transferred through a solid is called CONDUCTION
What is the transfer of heat by conduction?
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
How are conduction and heat different?
Conduction is the transfer of electrons in an element while Heat is the effect caused due to the transfer of electrons .
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
What heat transfer is where heat energy is transferred by particles to neighbouring particles?
That is called conduction.
What is the term for heat transfer of direct contact?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..
Why does transfer of heat not place by conduction in fluids?
Wrong, transfer of heat by conduction does take place in fluids.
