Does heat eq.'s $u$ have meaning or is it just the derivatives of it that are meaningful?
Does heat eq.'s $u$ have meaning or is it just the derivatives of it that are meaningful?
E.g. $du/dx$ could have units $K/m$.
But what about $u$ or e.g. $du/dt$?

Why can (heat-related) energy $E$ be considered as the product of temperature $T$ and thermal capacity $C$?
I.e.
$$E=CT$$
I've seen this definition in one answer to an excercise in a course, but …

Does heat affect the speed of an object? [closed]
I'm having a toy physics problem with a stick of butter sliding down a metal roof.
I know that the heat affects the friction between the butter stick and the roof. Therefore it affects the speed of t …

How do I convert $W/(mK)$, $W/m^2$ and $W/(m^2K)$ to the same "dimensionality" and unit?
How do I convert $W/(mK)$, $W/m^2$ and $W/(m^2K)$ to the same "dimensionality" and unit?
$W/(mK)$ is thermal conductivity. $W/m^2$ is heat flow density related to one unit. $W/(m^2K)$ is the heat tran …
