Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors describe a method of accurately determining the thermal conductivity of insulators with small volume coefficients of thermal expansion. Results are given for an experimental determination of the thermal conductivity of paraffin in the temperature range 83–295°K.
