Description
The principle of the pulse method for measuring thermophysical parameters has been known for a long time. Although its advantages compared to the stationary method or methods with constant or periodic heat sources are obvious, it is not commonly used in practice, primarily because of the considerable scattering of the experimental data. This book provides a systematic analysis of sources of scatter in experimental data, and describes experimental apparatus for measuring specific heats, thermal diffusivities and thermal conductivities in the temperature range 80-1300 K. Information is given on the measurement of thermophysical parameters of selected materials. The work also lists the most important results published so far on the use of the pulse method. This volume will be extremely useful to research workers in basic and applied research as well as workers in material quality testing laboratories.
