Thermal Diffusivity

 Thermal diffusivity

how fast heat diffuses through a


material
 The larger thermal diffusivity means
the faster the propagation of heat into
the medium
 A small value of thermal diffusivity
means that heat is mostly absorbed by
the material and a small amount of
heat will be conducted further
