Thermal Conductivity Measurement Method.
Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining the bulk chemical conductivity of a particular material includes the steps of embedding a thermistor in the material for which the bulk thermal conductivity is to be measured, applying a small current from a constant current source to the thermistor, mathematically determining the temperature of the material, applying a larger current to the thermistor until a steady state thermal condition is obtained, calculating the thermistor resistance, and finally calculating the thermal conductivity of the material.
