When nonc

To indicatethe possible presence of this phenomena (for example, thickness effect) the modifier “apparent” is used, as in apparent thermal conductivity.DISCUSSIONTest data using th

The operational definitions of thermal conductivity for these two cases are given as follows:Flat2slab geomet

Exce

36、pt in theoretical discussions, this generalized form of thedefinition is seldom used.

If T is not sufficiently small, then Eq 1 and Eq 2 define a mean thermalconductivity over the T range, and this r
