Thermal conductivity for pure metals

Input(s)

L: Lorenz Number $\left(\mathrm{V}^{2} / \mathrm{K}^{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{e}}$: Electrical Conductivity $(\mathrm{S} / \mathrm{m})$

$\mathrm{T}$: Temperature $(\mathrm{K})$

Output(s)

k: Thermal Conductivity (W/m K)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{k}=\mathrm{L} * \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{e}} * \mathrm{~T} $$
