In this paper, a new method is proposed for measuring the through plane thermal conductivity of two catalyst layers of different thicknesses by the guarded heat flow meter (GHF) method, and the transient plane source method (TPS). These catalyst layers were made from two catalyst-coated substrates. The effects of pressing, and hot pressing the layers were also studied and shown to have ...
This study experiments with the new and improved transient plane source (TPS) method for measuring the thermal conductivity of thin-films. The existing TPS method for measuring thin-films experiences the effect of thermal contact resistance. In this experiment, a thermal constants analyzer is used to investigate the precision and efficacy of the new method. This modified method looks to resolve the issues surrounding contact resistance, with eliminating the need for reference ...
