G. Grazzini et al., MEASURING THERMAL-PROPERTIES WITH THE PARALLEL WIRE METHOD - A COMPARISON OF MATHEMATICAL-MODELS, International journal of heat and mass transfer, 39(10), 1996, pp. 2009-2013
The accuracy of thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurements usin
g the parallel wire method depends on the mathematical model used. Thi
s work presents an analytical solution of a model that takes into acco
unt the probe radius and the thermal contact resistance between the ma
terial and the probe. The model is compared to the classical hot wire
model on the basis of the acquired experimental data. Copyright (C) 19
