The Transient Plane Source method (TPS) simultaneously measures thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity. This paper investigates the possibilities of using sensors, to record the thermal effusivity of a substrate. With the original method, the thermal effusivity of uniaxial, homogeneous materials in the through-plane direction can ...
So far, non-invasive methods that specifically detect abscesses, cracks, and keratomes in horse hooves have yet to be developed. This study used non-invasive Sensors to measure the thermal properties of horse hooves. By using the sensor to heat approximately one square inch of the hoof ...
This research highlights the capabilities of transient measurements and sensors to estimate thermal conductivities of samples with large voids/variations in their compositions. Because of the lack of a physical model to predict thermal conductivity vs depth information of inhomogenous materials, researchers have utilized existing ...
