TY - JOUR AU - Filippov, L. AB - USE OF RADIAL TEMPERATURE WAVES TO DETERMINE HEAT CAPACITY R. P. Yurchak and L. P. Filippov UDC 536.63.083 Using radial periodic oscillations of temperature is one of the most convenient methods of measuring thermal diffusivity of various materials. Recently it has been successfully used to measure a whole complex of thermal cha- racteristics (heat conductivity, heat capacity, and thermal diffusivity) of metals and semiconductors in the solid and liquid states in a wide range of temperatures [1-6]. Elsewhere [7, 8] we have described the theory and apparatus for measuring the heat capacity of solid and liquid metals based on this method. The test involves determining the am- plitude of the first harmonic of the temperature and power oscillations with square pulse electronic heating. As was shown in [7], when this method is used to measure heat capacity, the radiation from the surface of the sample is of little importance for temperatures up to 3000~ When measuring the period of heating, it is arranged so that the temperature oscillations are only slightly attenuated in the sample. However, as we showed in [7], even when the temperature waves are attenuated so that the amplitude of the temperature variations on the surface TI - Use of radial temperature waves to determine heat capacity JF - Measurement Techniques DO - 10.1007/BF00983594 DA - 2004-12-29 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/use-of-radial-temperature-waves-to-determine-heat-capacity-0AjD1sC0cQ SP - 376 EP - 377 VL - 13 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
