... to the change in thermal properties of the liquid layer and is employed to match experimental data to find the thermal properties of the test liquid. The measured thermal conductivities of water and ethylene glycol agree quite well with the data from literature and support the validity of this measurement...

...Kevin D. Cole Methods of thermal property measurements based on steady-periodic heating are indirect techniques, in which the thermal properties are deduced from a systematic comparison between experimental data and heat-transfer theory. In this paper heat-transfer theory is presented for a variety...

... precision requires that all of the other properties be known with certainty. This paper describes a method of design and estimation based upon Fisher’s concept of information that achieves good precision in estimating thermal properties even when the other parameters are known only approximately...

... of the numerical results are developed for the TCR as a function of the interface geometry and the thermal properties. The method used to introduce these correlations in forging softwares, to account for a time and space-dependent TCR instead of a constant arbitrary value, is given. The predictive capability...
