Heat current

A heat current or thermal current is a kinetic exchange rate between molecules, relative to the material in which the kinesis occurs. It is defined as the net rate of flow of heat. The SI unit of heat current is the watt, which is the flow of heat across a surface at the rate of one Joule per second.
