Part A Linear Conduction along a Homogeneous and Composite Bar

The thermal conductivity of an object is dependent on its composition and
dimension. The dimension include the cross- section area and also the length. There
are some factor that affect the rate of conduction that need to be consider which
are the temperature difference, cross- section area, length and time. The length is
the distance for heat travel. By increasing the area of the specimen, the thermal
conductivity will decrease.
