Determination of thermal conductivity by differential scanning calorimetry

Thermal analysis of meat and meat products

“…Kinetic variables (specific heat and thermal conductivity) and their temperature dependence have been studied for myosin and actin [131]. Chiu and Fair [132] devised a method for rapid determination of thermal conductivity of solid material block.…”

Thermal conductivity measurements for small molecule organic solid materials using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) and data corrections for sample porosity

“…Diverse experimental techniques have been used to measure k [2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], employing methodologies, equipment, sample sizes, and experimental time scales that lend themselves differently to measurement capability, particularly for pharmaceutically relevant materials. Methods that utilize differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) instrumentation provide rapid measurement of k in the context of a common, commercially available instrument, ubiquitously present in pharmaceutical characterization laboratories.…”

“…Methods that utilize differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) instrumentation provide rapid measurement of k in the context of a common, commercially available instrument, ubiquitously present in pharmaceutical characterization laboratories. Adaptations of different DSC instruments for measurements of k have been carried out by various groups [2,[10][11][12][13]16,17]; some methods hold the disadvantage of specially designed accessories or modifications to the DSC cell [2,11,17] the low melting points of small molecule solids relative to available metallic standards [12,16].…”

Measurement of thermal conductivity of building insulation foams by modulated differential scanning calorimetry — Critical review & observations

“…In contrast to the steadystate approach of Chiu and Fair [8], that of Marcus and Blaine [10,11] uses quasi-isothermal conditions, where a sinusoidal heat wave of amplitude A and period P (= 2π/ω) is applied to a sample. In those conditions, the temperature oscillates at a frequency ω around a temperature T. Equation (1) and the heat-fl ow model of Marcus and Blaine [10,11] constitute the basis of the standard test method to measure thermal conductivity as prescribed in ASTM E1952 [12].…”

“…In the late 1970s, Chiu and Fair [8] used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to develop a rapid method of measuring the thermal conductivity of small cylindrical samples of solid polymer resin. From this basis, with the advent of temperature-modulated DSC [9], which allowed for unprecedented precision in measuring the specifi c heat capacity (Cp) of polymers, glass, ceramics and other materials, Marcus and Blaine [10,11] more recently have developed a onedimensional heat fl ow model and equations that relates Cp to thermal conductivity (λ):…”
