The transient plane source (TPS) method, was used for the determination of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of solid materials. Researchers developed a model based on the thermal quadrupoles formalism to represent the temperature variation. This model was able to take in account the thermal ...
This article highlights two assumptions of TPS the technique; the probe is thermally neutral, and the heat transfer is conductive. The researchers of this article mention an uncertainty of using a technique for measuring low-density and highly insulative materials. Accordingly, numerically noised thermograms of the ...
