This lecture covers the fundamentals of thermal diffusion, including the specific heat at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion. It explains how energy is transferred between atoms and molecules, affecting the material's properties and dimensions. The instructor discusses the heat equation, stationary and transient states, and critical lengths in thermomechanical stress calculations.
