In order to utilize the guarded-hot-plate (GHP) apparatus to study the influence of heating
direction and the significance of convection within pores of porous materials, the …

Thermal conductivity controls heat transfer through materials, so accurate assessment of
thermal conductivity is necessary when modeling the thermal behavior of a material. In this …

The transient plane source (TPS) technique, also referred as the Hot Disk method, has been
widely used due to its ability to measure the thermal properties of an extensive range of …

In this paper, a guarded hot plate (GHP) apparatus utilizing a Peltier module is proposed
and developed to precisely measure the thermal conductivity of insulation material. The …

The guarded hot plate (GHP) is a primary method to measure the thermal conductivity (λ) of
low-to-medium λ materials. Precision measurement of λ using the GHP method is …

The thermal properties of soil are vital in designing the length of buried heat exchangers.
Based on a matured experimental technique commonly used for thermal response test in …

This thesis is based on the experimental work carried out at thermal conductivity group (AG
1.74) at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) Braunschweig, Germany. Financial …

This objective of this thesis has been to development and analysis a measurement
apparatus designed to determine thermal conductivity of porous materials. A literature …

Lotus-type porous metal with many straight pores is attractive as a heat sink, because larger
heat transfer capacity is obtained, owing to the small diameter of the pores. In order to use …

This paper proposes an experimental method to simultaneously measure, the thermal
conductivity and thermal diffusivity of solid conductive and non-conductive materials, such …
