THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF A MULTILAYER SAMPLE OF UNDERWATER MATERIAL UNDER A VARIETY OF EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

Results of measurements of the thermal conductivity of a sample of twelve layers of standard underwear material (50% wool, 50% cotton) are presented. Temperature was varied from about 65 to about 135 F, pressure (air) was varied from less than 0.1 mm Hg to atmospheric, and sample density was varied from about 14 to about 20 lb per cubic foot. Some measurements were made with the air removed from the sample chamber and water introduced. Measurements were made in which the air in the sample chamber was replaced by He, or by Freon-12 (CCl2F2). (Author)
