M. Cali et al., AN INVERSE METHOD APPLIED TO THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT OF LIGHT INSULATING MATERIALS, Modern physics letters B, 9(23), 1995, pp. 1539-1554
A simplified procedure for analyzing data obtained from an experimenta
l apparatus in unsteady state conditions, constructed in order to meas
ure thermal conductivity variations of light insulating materials obta
ined from thermal ageing and humidity cycles, is presented here. The c
alculations have been carried out with a lumped thermal model using an
inverse method. Several ageing cycles and measurements have been carr
ied out and the method has permitted the reduction of the experimental
and calculation costs.
