Comprehensive proceedings from a pivotal thermal conductivity conference.
Get a concise, formal record of the Seventh Conference on Thermal Conductivity, held at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, 1967. This book gathers both papers and abstracts presented by leading researchers in the field.
This edition documents the work of more than 180 experts from the United States and abroad, covering conductive heat transport in solids, liquids, gases, and phase mixtures. It presents the full range of topics from measurement methods to data analysis, with emphasis on practical data and methods for a variety of applications in engineering and science.
- Text and abstracts of papers presented at the conference, plus a few non-presented papers due to travel constraints.
- Topics spanning theory, measurement techniques, and data interpretation for thermal conductivity and related properties.
- Scope includes metals, ceramics, polymers, and cryogenic materials, with a focus on high-temperature standards and low-temperature behavior.
- Structured sections and sessions with chairs guiding discussions and reviews of manuscripts.
Ideal for researchers, engineers, and students engaged in heat transfer, materials science, and thermophysical properties who need a formal reference of methods, data, and contemporary findings from this key gathering.
