This paper explains an addition to a larger NPL project with the purpose to validate the use of the transient contact-probes for measurement of the thermal conductivity of soft solids such as foods, powders, and biological materials. ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the transient plane source method for thermal conductivity and diffusivity of food and agricultural materials. An instrument was used to measure thermal conductivity of liquid and solid samples. Thermal conductivity and diffusivity values determined by the TPS ...
