A circuit was designed for use in the transient hot-strip method for the determination of thermal properties of thermal insulators and electrical properties of thin metal films. The article describes how the output of power in the strip source can be kept constant throughout a ...
The authors present a new (at the time) design for the transient hot wire method. Using this method, the thermal conductivity of materials was measured by the slope of a temperature versus time line. The instrument can measure temperatures between 20°C and 200°C with pressure ...
