Increasingly often, in practice, thermophysical measurements are made under quasisteady or monotonic conditions. These methods appear attractive to researchers because of their relative simplicity and because they allow combined measurements of the thermophysical properties (h, a, and c) to be made over wide temperature ranges during continuous heating-cooling of a test specimen.The theory of quasisteady-state methods, which originate from earlier works by Lykov, Ivantsov, and Adams [1, 2, 52], has been developed quite completely by now, in a number of monographs and review articles [3-10,* 11-15, 52-57]. At the same time, methods using monotonic conditions are relatively new and have not yet been described systematically in the technical literature. * E. P.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
