ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for determining the thermal conductivity of an unknown material using a differential scanning calorimeter. Experiments conducted in a non-adiabatic environment govern the mathematics of the present method. Multiple samples of the unknown material are formed with different lengths and identical cross-sectional areas. Samples of a reference material, having a known thermal conductivity and a density approaching that of the unknown sample, are formed with the same lengths and cross-sectional area as the unknown samples. Each sample is subjected to the same heat rise in a differential scanning calorimeter to determine values of Q heat flow at selected incremental temperatures. A heat equation for the reference sample and the unknown sample is formed and solved for each like length and temperature value of a reference and sample material to determine the thermal conductivity of the unknown sample.
