“…where C, λ, a, and T are respectively the specific heat (J/kg K), the thermal conductivity (W/m K), the thermal diffusivity (10 -4 m 2 /s), and the temperature (K x 10 -2 ). With increase in the degree of curing of the binder, the specific heat and thermal conductivity increase, which complies with the general laws governing the behaviour of thermosetting plastics [2].…”
