Thermal Diffusivity:

It is defined as the ratio of thermal conductivity of body to its heat storage capacity.

$α=K_ρ.C_p$

Where, $ρ, C_p$ is heat storage capacity per unit temperature difference per unit volume.

Significance:

  • The larger the value of α, the faster will the heat diffuse through the material …
