Apparatus and method for simultaneously determining thermal conductivity and thermal contact resistance

摘要

An apparatus and method for simultaneously determining thermal conductivity and thermal contact resistance of a sample which employs an transient method of taking data for use in such determinations, and an inverse method of determining the values using a methodology set forth herein. As a result, the present invention permits a more accurate, and economically efficient determination of thermal conductivity and thermal contact resistance than methods presently used.
