Conductance
Encyclopedia
Conductance may refer to:
- Electrical conductance, the ability for electricity to flow a certain path
- Fluid conductanceFluid conductanceFluid conductance is related to the rate at which a unit of material can transmit fluids, and is used mainly in hydrology in relation to river and lake bottoms. It is an application of intrinsic permeability to a unit of material with a defined area and thickness.In hydrology, the magnitude of...
, the ability for fluid to transmit through materials - Thermal conductivityThermal conductivityIn physics, thermal conductivity, k, is the property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier's Law for heat conduction....
, the ability for temperatures to transmit through materials - Conductance (graph)Conductance (graph)In graph theory the conductance of a graph G= measures how "well-knit" the graph is: it controls how fast a random walk on G converges to a uniform distribution. The conductance of a graph is often called the Cheeger constant of a graph as theanalog of its counterpart in spectral geometry...
