(N/A) Thermal conductivity $(k)$ is defined as the rate of heat transfer through a unit thickness of a material per unit area per unit temperature difference.
It is given by the formula: $Q = \frac{kA(T_1 - T_2)t}{d}$,where $Q$ is the heat transferred,$A$ is the area,$d$ is the thickness,and $(T_1 - T_2)$ is the temperature difference.
Rearranging for $k$: $k = \frac{Qd}{A(T_1 - T_2)t}$.
$SI$ Unit: The unit of heat is Joule $(J)$,area is $m^2$,thickness is $m$,temperature is Kelvin $(K)$,and time is second $(s)$. Thus,the unit is $\frac{J \cdot m}{m^2 \cdot K \cdot s} = W \cdot m^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$.
Dimensional Formula: Since $Q$ is energy $([ML^2T^{-2}])$,$d$ is length $([L])$,$A$ is area $([L^2])$,$\Delta T$ is temperature $([K])$,and $t$ is time $([T])$:
$k = \frac{[ML^2T^{-2}][L]}{[L^2][K][T]} = [MLT^{-3}K^{-1}]$.

In the figure shown,$AB$ is a rod of length $30 \ cm$,area of cross-section $1 \ cm^2$ and thermal conductivity $336 \ SI$ units. The ends $A$ and $B$ are at constant temperatures $20^{\circ} C$ and $40^{\circ} C$ respectively. $A$ point $C$ of the rod is connected to ice at $0^{\circ} C$ in a thermally insulated box $D$ through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is $\left(L_{ice}=80 \ cal \ g^{-1}\right)$.
