Abstract

Abstract An exact transient analytical solution of the temperature fields and heat fluxes for the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method is presented. The MTPS sensor is made of a thin disk with a heater/sensor and a heated guard ring on its surface, providing a one-dimensional heat flow to a semi-infinite sample in contact with its surface. The MTPS sensor measures the thermal effusivity of the sample. Two different solutions are derived, one is in the form of an infinite series with no thermal resistance, and the other is in integral form and includes thermal resistance between the MTPS sensor surface and the measured sample. The theoretical model is supplemented by experimental results.
