  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011933",
  "term": "Thermal conductance",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the rate at which heat is transferred through a specific material or across a boundary for a given temperature difference. It is the reciprocal of thermal resistance and depends on the material's thermal conductivity, its cross-sectional area, and its thickness. The SI unit for thermal conductance is watts per kelvin (W/K).",
