SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the conversion of thermal conductivity to the diffusion coefficient and its application in Fick's Law. Participants reference the Wikipedia page on thermal diffusivity for clarity on the relationship between these concepts. The consensus is that while direct conversion is not straightforward, understanding thermal diffusivity can aid in applying thermal conductivity within the context of Fick's Law.
