Modeling of Heat Transfer -- Tools and Methods for Thermal Characterization -- Steady-state Methods -- Flux/Temperature Transient Methods -- Transient Temperature/Temperature Methods -- Choice of an Adapted Method -- Analogies Between Different Transfers -- Physical Properties of Some Materials -- Physical Properties of Air and Water -- Transfer Coefficients in Natural Convection -- Main Integral Transformations: Laplace, Fourier and Hankel -- Inverse Laplace Transformation -- Value of the Function ERF -- Quadrupole Matrices for Different Configurations -- Bessel Equations and Functions -- Influence of Radiation on Temperature Measurement -- Case Study.
This book presents the main methods used for thermal properties measurement. It aims to be accessible to all those, specialists in heat transfer or not, who need to measure the thermal properties of a material. The objective is to allow them to choose the measurement method the best adapted to the material to be characterized, and to pass on them all the theoretical and practical information allowing implementation with the maximum of precision.
