Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
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 author compares some currently existing method of measuring thermal conductivity and elaborates on a couple of newer methods. The pre-existing methods include hot wire and laser flash diffusivity, and the newly introduced methods are the modified how wire (MHW) and transient plane source (TPS) techniques. The necessary conditions (samples sizes, sample composition, test times, etc) are explained for the two newly introduced techniques. Experimental runs are carried out using ...
