This article is a review of techniques used to measure thermal transport properties. Emphasis is placed on the hot strip and pulse hot strip methods. The development, and theory of each method is described in detail....
The authors selected 5 types of softwood species and 5 types of hardwood species that are commonly grown and used for construction in China for thermal analysis. Not only was thermal conductivity measured, but its dependence on moisture content, density and temperature of the wood samples was also investigated. Thermal conductivity was found to increase with increasing density of the wood sample and increasing moisture content. Thermal conductivity was also found to ...
