This paper introduces a compensation algorithm and a different-layers calibration method that will improve the temperature measurement speed and thermal resistance elimination of a guarded heat flow meter instrument. Without these additions to the method, heat will travel through a thin slice of material too ...
Lightweight LED heat sinks were fabricated by high-vacuum die casting (HVDC) using the aluminum alloy ADC12. Thermal characteristics of the heat sink were determined under natural convection using thermocouples and an IR thermograph, and the thermal conductivity was measured using the transient plane source (TPS) ...
The authors have presented a review of steady-state and transient measurement techniques for the determination of thermal conductivity, and have introduced a new method for the determination of thermal transport properties in anisotropic building materials, known as the dynamic adiabatic technique. It was found that ...
Currently, there is no research into the accuracy of the transient plane source (TPS) method for measuring the thermal conductivity of thin films. The purpose of this study is to use numerical simulation to determine the accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements of thin films, with ...
The transient plane source (TPS) technique has a wide range of applications because of its capability to test solids, liquids, powders, and anisotropic materials over a range of sizes. Thermal properties of thin films and coatings can also be characterized using the TPS method if ...
