EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT MEASUREMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF FIBROUS MATERIALS

Effective thermal conductivity is generally recognized as the intrinsic factor to reveal the thermal responses of fibrous materials. Here, two typical measurements, the step-wise transient method and the guarded hot plate method, were utilized to identify their feasibility for the effective thermal conductivity of fibrous materials (non-woven fabric and twill fabric) with different stacking layers.
