On the Symmetric Character of the Thermal Conductivity Tensor

Authors: Ali R. Hadjesfandiari

In this paper, the symmetric character of the conductivity tensor for linear heterogeneous anisotropic material is established as the result of arguments from tensor analysis and linear algebra for Fourier’s heat conduction. The non-singular nature of the conductivity tensor plays the fundamental role in establishing this statement.
