To minimize the propagation of the effects of an abrupt change in temperature, an insulating material is required with a low thermal diffusivity. This property is proportional to the thermal ...
Thermal diffusivity is a measure of the speed at which heat propagates in a medium by conduction when the temperature varies with time. It is a thermophysical property whose value is directly ...
ABSTRACT Soil heat transfer is complex, and conduction-alone models may not always perform well in estimating soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Soil apparent thermal diffusivity is related to soil ...
