Abstract
An outline of the stepwise heating method for measuring thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of samples in both solid and liquid phases is described. The method is based on the measurement of temperature response at the surface of a solid sample when the other surface is heated in step-function. By making the best use of the characteristic points of this method, applications to samples in the liquid state, especially to high temperature melts such as molten salts, have been tried. As examples of measurement results, the thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of zirconia brick and the thermal diffusivity of molten salts are shown in graphic form.
