Abstract
For the first time, the transient hot wire (THW) and the transient hot strip (THS) techniques were used to measure the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of ice and the thermal conductivity of liquid water simultaneously in one run. With the additional knowledge of the thermal diffusivity of water from a subsequent single-phase run, the latent heat of melting can be determined as well as the time dependent position of the interface between both phases during an experiment. The results of the dual-phase measurements are compared with those obtained in the single-phase experiments using the same simple setup. The composite THS and THW signals are interpreted based on the underlying phase-change-theory of Stefan and Neumann, as outlined briefly in the text.
