Giardia intestinalis (aka: Giardia duodenalis, Giardia lamblia) is a common, microscopic (intestinal) parasite that commonly affects humans, dogs, and cats. Common signs and symptoms of Giardia infection (in both humans and pets) are diarrhea, gas, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting.
Thermal conductivity 1 Thermal conductivity In physics, thermal conductivity, is the, property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily inFourier's Law for heat conduction.hermal conductivity 2. Definitions The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is thermal resistivity, usually measured in kelvin-meters per watt (KÂ·mÂ·W â1).When dealing with a known amount of material, its thermal conductance and the reciprocal property, thermalresistance, can be described.
For example, the heat transfer by conduction through the bodywork of a car. Metals are the best thermal conductors; while non-metals are poor thermal conductors. For comparison, the thermal conductivity (k) of the copper is 401 W/m*K, while the thermal conductivity (k) of the air is 0.0263 W/m*K.
