`rdf:type`	`qudt:QuantityKind`
`dcterms:description`	In physics, thermal conductivity, \(k\) (also denoted as \(\lambda\)), is the property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier's Law for heat conduction and is the areic heat flow rate divided by temperature gradient.
