CONDUCTION - Transfer of Thermal Energy
between one part of a body and an Adjacent
part of the same body or between one body and
another which is in physical contact with it.

Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.):
The thermal conductivity of Argon and Helium increases
continuously with increasing temperature, but that of
nitrogen and hydrogen show a drop in conductivity where
the diatomic gas atom dissociates. What do you think would
happen if a significant amount of these gases were in the arc
plasma?
