This paper summarizes the measuring method of thermal conductivity of rocks and the parameters controlling the transport and exchange of thermal energy. The transient plane source method was analyzed and found to have advantages over other methods, such as short test times and the ability to measure solid, liquid and powder materials. Thermal conductivity of rock was tested using an instrument. Results show thermal conductivity of rock in a saturate ...
This article looks at GMZ deposits as a candidate for buffer material of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in china. A thermal analyzer was used to measure thermal conductivity of compacted GMZ001 bentonite using the transient plane source technique. Results found that for samples having the same weight percentage of dry and wet density, thermal conductivity increased as the water content increased....
