SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the thermal behavior of two cubes, A and B, subjected to a constant heat flux on their bottom surfaces. Cube A, with higher thermal conductivity (k), heats up faster than cube B. However, both cubes will eventually reach the same temperature as time approaches infinity, regardless of their differing thermal conductivities. The conversation also highlights issues with thread deletions related to academic dishonesty, emphasizing the forum's commitment to maintaining integrity in discussions.
