Thermal conductivity of porous insulators, wood-ash and vermiculite
Abstract
A thermal probe was designed and used to measure
the thermal conductivities of wood-ash and three grades
of vermiculate, of different particle sizes. Different
methods of evaluating the thermal conductivity from the
transient readings of the thermal probe were assessed.
Blackwell's model was found to be the most accurate,
hence used for this work.
