The operational definitions of thermal conductivity for these two cases are given as fol

35、lows:Flat2slab geometry 5QA LT (1)where:Q = heat flow rate,A = area through which Q passes, andC168 173L = thickness of the flat-slab specimen across which the temperature difference T exists.The T/L ratio approximates the temperature gradient.Cylindrical geometry 5 Q2pilT loge r2r1(2)where:1 = leng

36、th,r2 = the outer radius, andr1 = the inner radius of the cylinder.Eq 1 and Eq 2 are actually special-case simplifications of the more general definition:thermal conductivity, a tensor property defined by the tensor equation:q52T (3)where q is the heat flux vector, and T (grad T) is the temperature

37、gradient vector. Except in theoretical discussions, this generalized form of thedefinition is seldom used. For experimental situations, the geometry of the testing apparatus and the specimen are chosen such that Eq 3 reduces tothe one-dimensional scalar equation:Q52A dTdu (4)where:Q = heat flow rate

38、,A = area through which Q passes, = thermal conductivity, anddT/du = the temperature gradient in the direction of heat flow.At steady state, Eq 1 and Eq 2 are consistent with Eq 4 if T is sufficiently small. If T is not sufficiently small, then Eq 1 and Eq 2 define a mean thermalconductivity over th

39、e T range, and this range in addition to the mean temperature should be stated.DISCUSSIONIf the measured thermal property indicates that other than conductive heat flows are present, as evidenced by dependence on specimen thickness, airflow, or emittance of bounding surfaces, then this definition do
