Thermal diffusivity is a contrasting measure to thermal effusivity. [6] [7] In a substance with high thermal diffusivity, heat moves rapidly through it because the substance conducts heat quickly relative to its volumetric heat capacity or 'thermal bulk'. Thermal diffusivity is often measured with the flash method.
The higher the thermal diffusivity of the sample, the faster the energy reaches the backside. A laser flash apparatus (LFA) to measure thermal diffusivity over a broad temperature range, is shown on the right hand side. In a one-dimensional, adiabatic case the thermal diffusivity is calculated from this temperature rise as follows:
The main advantages of the 3ω-method are minimization of radiation effects and easier acquisition of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity than in the steady-state techniques. Although some expertise in thin film patterning and microlithography is required, this technique is considered as the best pseudo-contact method available.
1781 - Joseph Priestley attempts to measure the ability of different gases to conduct heat using the heated wire experiment. 1931 - Sven Pyk and Bertil Stalhane proposed the first “transient” hot wire method for the measurement of thermal conductivity of solids and powders. Unlike previous methods, the one devised by Pyk and Stalhane used ...
Here, Λ is the thermal conductivity of the solid, D is the thermal diffusivity of the solid, and r is the radial coordinate. In a typical time-domain thermoreflectance experiment, the co-aligned laser beams have cylindrical symmetry, therefore the Hankel transform can be used to simplify the computation of the convolution of the equation with ...
The heat generated dissipates into the sample on both sides of the sensor, at a rate depending on the thermal transport properties of the material. By recording temperature vs. time response in the sensor, the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of the material can be calculated.
Aluminium chloride, also known as aluminium trichloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula AlCl 3. It forms a hexahydrate with the formula [Al(H 2 O) 6 ]Cl 3 , containing six water molecules of hydration .
Thermal effusivity and thermal diffusivity are related quantities; respectively a product versus a ratio of a material's intensive heat transport and storage properties. The diffusivity appears explicitly in the heat equation, which is an energy conservation equation , and measures the speed at which thermal equilibrium can be reached by a body ...
