Let us catch up right from the basics
Heat in joule with dimension M L^2 T^-2 passing through a conductor is directly proportional to
a) area of cross section [L^2]
b) time [T]
c) temperature gradient [KL^-1]
So we can write using a constant K
Hence H = K * [(@2 -@1) / L ]* A * t
So dimensions for K will be M L T^-3 K^-1
the rate at which heat is trasferred by conduction through a unit cress-sectional area of material when a temperature gradient exists perpendicular to the area.
Thermal conductivity is an intensive property. It is inherent in the material but not dependent on the amount of material. This should not be confused with the rate of heat conduction which can depend on the dimensions of a material. There is one case where the thermal conductivity might depend on the dimension of the material - when the conductivity is not uniform with direction, i.e. where conductivity laterally is different from conductivity longitudinally. When the orientation of the material changes the conductivity, the dimensions can have an effect on the apparent bulk thermal conductivity.
Thermal conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with heat. Electrical conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with electricity.
The thermal conductivity of a perfect conductor is 1
Thermal conductors let heat move through them. Metals are part of this group.

It has good coefficient of thermal conductivity and expands uniformly and gradually
- thermal conductivity - melting point - boiling point - specific heat capacity - coefficient of thermal expansion - superconductivity at low temperature
A linear expansion apparatus is used to measure the change in length of a material in response to a change in temperature. It typically consists of a sample material mounted between two supports, with a mechanism to control the temperature. By measuring the change in length as the temperature changes, the coefficient of linear expansion of the material can be determined.
yes
The thermal conductivity of boron is relatively low, ranging from 27 to 30 watts per meter per kelvin (W/mK). This means that boron is not a very good conductor of heat compared to other materials.
Harder than work piece High thermal conductivity High heat transfer coefficient
Thermal conductivity is a Physical property
Thermal Conductivity is analogous to electrical conductivity. To calculate electrical resistance look-up rho (resistivity). For Copper rho = 1.68�10-8 Ohms-meter Resistance = resistivity (rho) � length/area For thermal conductivity "k" (Watts/m°C) is the coefficient of thermal conduction. Heat transfer (Watts) = k � area/thickness � temperature difference.
Thermal conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with heat. Electrical conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with electricity.
Osmium thermal conductivity is 87,4 W/m.K.
