Abstract

This chapter introduces some basic information and measurement principles of thermophysical properties. From the physical meaning of thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and Seebeck coefficient, as well as their calculation methods are introduced. At the same time, some thermophysical property measurement methods and devices, including steady state method (heat flux meter method, guarded hot plate method, round tube method, etc.) and nonsteady state method (transient hot wire approach, T-type probe method, transient ...
