Pronunciation: [hˈiːt kɒndəktˈɪvɪti] (IPA)

Heat conductivity, also known as thermal conductivity, refers to the ability of a material to conduct heat. Some synonyms for the term may include thermal diffusivity, thermal resistance, thermal transmittance, and heat transfer coefficient. Heat transfer coefficient can be used to describe the heat transfer capability of a material or system, while thermal resistance refers to a material's ability to resist the flow of heat. Thermal diffusivity describes the rate at which heat penetrates through a material and is dependent on factors such as density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity. Understanding these synonyms can help in the design and selection of materials for various applications where heat transfer is concerned.
