“…The analysis of radiation-conductive heat transfer un der eonditions of the periodic heating teehnique (6) shows that the role of radiation heat transfer in thermal conductivity does not exceed the measurement errors up to temperatures of about 600 K. This problem was analyzed(6) for plane temperature waves (a foil probe), whieh form the basis for the measurement technique of thermal aetivity b = .J ACpp, The nonsteady-state linearized equation of radiation-eonduetive heat transfer has been solved by the gray medium approximation. (6) The following simple eonsiderations lead to the conelusions drawn by Kravehun and Phylippov. (6) Ifthe amplitude of the probe temperature oscillations equals lOol, the n the amplitude of radiation ftux does not exceed the value qr = 40"n 2 nlool, which corresponds to an absolutely black surface of a probe and a fully transparent medium (where fo is the average probe temperature, n is the refractive index, and 0" is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant).…”
