Heat and Mass Transfer
The heat transfer from a hot body to a cold body is directly proportional to the surface area and difference of temperatures between the two bodies. This statement is called
Heat conducted in unit time across unit area through unit thickness when a temperature difference of unity is maintained between opposite faces
Quantity of heat flowing in one second through a slab of the material of area one cm square, thickness 1 cm when its faces differ in temperature by 1°C
Quantity of heat flowing in one second through one cm cube of material when opposite faces are maintained at a temperature difference of 1°C
