    Conduction is the transfer of heat between objects in direct contact. Fourier's equation describes the rate of heat transfer by conduction as proportional to the thermal conductivity, the temperature gradient, and the cross-sectional area. Thermal conductivity is a material property that determines how fast heat will transfer through an object during conduction, with higher conductivity meaning faster transfer. Under steady-state conduction, the temperature at a point will vary with location in the medium but not over time.
