(Seediscussion under apparent thermal conductivity.)DISCUSSIONThermal conductivity testing is usually done in one oftwo apparatus/specimen geometries: flat-slab specimens with parallelheat flux lines, or cylindrical specimens with radial he

34、at flux lines. Theoperational definitions of thermal conductivity for these two cases aregiven as follows:Flat 2 slab geometry 5QALT(1)where:Q = heat flow rate,A = area through which Q passes, andL = thickness of the flat-slab specimen across which thetemperature difference T exists.The T/L ratio ap

35、proximates the temperature gradient.Cylindrical geometry 5Q2lTloger2r1(2)C168 182where:1 = length,r2= the outer radius, andr1= the inner radius of the cylinder.Eq 1 and Eq 2 are actually special-case simplifications of the more generaldefinition:thermal conductivity, a tensor property defined by the

36、 tensor equation:q 52T (3)where q is the heat flux vector, and T (grad T) is the temperature gra-dient vector. Except in theoretical discussions, this generalized form ofthe definition is seldom used. For experimental situations, the geometryof the testing apparatus and the specimen are chosen such

37、that Eq 3reduces to the one-dimensional scalar equation:Q 52AdTdu(4)where:Q = heat flow rate,A = area through which Q passes, = thermal conductivity, anddT/du = the temperature gradient in the direction of heatflow.At steady state, Eq 1 and Eq 2 are consistent with Eq 4 if T is sufficientlysmall. If

38、 T is not sufficiently small, then Eq 1 and Eq 2 define a meanthermal conductivity over the T range, and this range in addition to themean temperature should be stated.DISCUSSIONIf the measured thermal property indicates that otherthan conductive heat flows are present, as evidenced by dependence on

39、specimen thickness, air flow, or emittance of bounding surfaces, thenthis definition does not apply.
