  • Device for measuring thermal conductivity of liquid
    Patent number: 4283935
    Abstract: A device for measuring thermal conductivity of a desired sample liquid, even of a transparent or hot sample liquid, on the basis of thermal diffusion to the sample liquid from a small and thin metal disc which is heated by laser flash. The device has means for elevating the relative surface level of the sample liquid, filling a gap between the metal disc and a sample holding block to form a cylindrical liquid layer therein, and the thermal diffusion can be measured by a thermocouple connected to the metal disc.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 1979
    Date of Patent: August 18, 1981
    Assignee: President of Kyoto University
    Inventors: Wataru Eguchi, Makoto Harada, Masataka Tanigaki, Yutaka Tada

    Patent number: 4232543
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring thermal conductivity of a desired sample liquid, even of a transparent sample liquid, on the basis of thermal diffusion to the sample liquid from a small and thin metal disc which is heated by laser flash. The sample liquid is inserted within a small gap which is formed between the metal disc and a sample holding block, and the thermal diffusion can be measured by a thermocouple connected to the metal disc.
