Formulation of heat conduction and thermal conductivity of metals

The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the particle mean free path. The extension of the formula to a free electron Fermi g...
