The measurement of the thermal conductivity of solid aggregates using the transient plane source technique

Abstract: In predicting the overall thermal conductivity of composite porous structures such as building materials or soils, the thermal conductivities of their solid components must be known in order to apply some theoretical models. Horai proposed a method to determine the thermal conductivity of solid particles. The material under study is first ground to a fine powder. This powder is then carefully saturated with a fluid and the thermal conductivity of this mixture is measured using the `needle probe' method. Finall… Show more

“…The theoretical basis of this technique has been discussed by various authors [18,19]. The experimental device used in this study is composed of transient plane source (TPS) element, a power supply stabilised in tension, a wheatstone bridge, an acquisition power station and a microcomputer for the data control and processing.…”

“…The free water saturation content (u fs ) and the moisture storage function (u(/)) are the most important characteristics. For the above mentioned materials only few publications may be found in the literature [26,27]. The pore fraction and pore size distribution and the density of the solid are measured according to the standards using mercury porosimetry (DIN 66133, [28]) or helium pycnometry (DIN 66135, [29]), respectively.…”

“…As has been demonstrated by Faust (see [26]), the results obtained by simplified experiments show good agreement with measured results obtained with experimental set-ups according to DIN specifications. The density and the thermal conductivity of the solid materials, listed in Table 3, are available in the literature (see [12,26,27,30,31] or [32]). …”

“…For this research project, the foam density ranged between 58 kg/m 3 and 63 kg/m 3 was used for the production of cellular mortar. It was used to mix with fresh mortar therefore the wet density of the mortar can be controlled via rate of air bubbles generated in the cement paste mix [18] …”
