... the flow of heat from one part of a substance to another part of the same substance, or from one substance to another substance in direct contact with it. 5, record 1, English, - conduction

Conduction is the transfer of heat from an area of warmer temperature to an area of colder temperature. Heat is transferred from a substance or through a substance by molecular activity. A hot parking lot or a warm ocean can conduct heat to the air above it. 6, record 1, English, - conduction

[...] forme de transfert d'énergie calorifique (chaleur) dans laquelle les molécules d'une substance s'entrechoquent entre elles en transférant ainsi de la chaleur lors de ces «collisions». 5, record 1, French, - conduction
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le déplacement de ces molécules n'est ni apparent, ni visible [comme c'est le cas dans le phénomène de convection]. Plus simplement, c'est une transmission de chaleur qui a lieu lorsque deux corps (ou deux parties d'un même corps) ayant des températures différentes sont en contact direct, intime. 5, record 1, French, - conduction
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La chaleur se propage de molécule à molécule par diffusion, des points les plus chauds vers les points les plus froids. Pratiquement presque tous les corps bons conducteurs de la chaleur sont aussi bons conducteurs électriques. La conduction de la chaleur s'opère toujours dans le sens de l'égalisation finale des températures, c'est-à-dire dans le sens qui conduit à une dégradation de l'énergie. 3, record 1, French, - conduction
