I had a thermal conductance homework problem where heat flowed through gold, and then silver. Both materials were of the same length and same cross sectional area. The problem mentioned that the energy transfer had reached a steady state, and I found through doing the problem that under these conditions, conductance would be the same through both materials.
Can anyone explain why this is? I thought that the conductivity of the material would still play a role in the rate of energy transfer.
