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:
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 ...
Small values of the Prandtl number, Pr ≪ 1, means the thermal diffusivity dominates. Whereas with large values, Pr ≫ 1, the momentum diffusivity dominates the behavior. For example, the listed value for liquid mercury indicates that the heat conduction is more significant compared to convection, so thermal diffusivity is dominant. However ...

These thermal greases have low electrical conductivity and their volume resistivities are 1.5⋅10 15, 1.8⋅10 11, and 9.9⋅10 9 Ω⋅cm for 860, 8616 and 8617 respectively. The thermal grease 860 is a silicone oil with a Zinc Oxide filler and 8616 and 8617 are synthetic oils with various fillers including Aluminum Oxide and Boron Nitride.
Diffusivity is a rate of diffusion, a measure of the rate at which particles or heat or fluids can spread. It is measured differently for different mediums. Diffusivity may refer to: Thermal diffusivity, diffusivity of heat; Diffusivity of mass: Mass diffusivity, molecular diffusivity (often called "diffusion coefficient")
D is the mass diffusivity (m 2 /s). μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa·s = N·s/m 2 = kg/m·s) ρ is the density of the fluid (kg/m 3) Pe is the Peclet Number; Re is the Reynolds Number. The heat transfer analog of the Schmidt number is the Prandtl number (Pr). The ratio of thermal diffusivity to mass diffusivity is the Lewis number ...
