Abstract
We describe the application of the photoacoustic technique to the thermal c haracterization of liquids. An experimental method which allows the experim ental determination of the thermal effusivity in transparent as well as in light absorbing samples is proposed. The method is tested by measurements i n water, ethanol, diffusion-pump oil, glycerol and petroleum. Our results a gree quite well with the literature reported values for these samples.
