Thermal contact resistance in thermophysical measurements

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The author describes the basis for an experimental correction to the thermal contact resistance (TCR) in investigation of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of solids, using specimens in the form of plates. Relations are obtained for thermal deformation of specimens and the contact pressure to compensate for thermal deflection.
