Thermal conductivity (k) measures the amount of heat transferred through a material per unit time due to a unit temperature gradient, under steady-state conditions, in a direction perpendicular to a unit surface area. It is a key parameter in Fourier's equation.
Specific heat is the amount of heat energy per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree. It determines how much energy a substance can store as heat and influences how quickly it heats up or cools down when exposed to thermal energy.
Values for the Thermal conductivity and Specific heat are taken from here:
