Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
This study investigates the effect of water repellency on the thermal and electrical conductance of soils. A transient line source heating method and two-terminal electrode system was used to investigate the thermal and electrical conductivity of unsaturated hydrophilic and hydrophobic soils with known degrees of water saturation. A controlled drying process was used to carefully control the saturation....
