PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relate to a method and an apparatus for monitoring a material, and particularly, to provide a method and apparatus for monitoring during a dynamic process. SOLUTION: The method and apparatus for monitoring during a dynamic process determine when effective measurements of thermal effusivity and/or thermal conductivity are made during a part of a cycle during a calibration stage, then measure thermal effusivity and/or thermal conductivity during a subsequent dynamic process in dependence upon a time delay value and a measurement duration value until a desired value is obtained. A sensor having a measurement period of one out of two seconds allows monitoring of a material during dynamic processes such as tumbling, blending, mixing, and rocking. For example, measurements are made until a value indicative of a desired mixture condition is obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
