The development measuring skill for the thermal conductivity of heat pipe, graphite sheet and vapour chamber

Abstract

This research designed a set of experimental instruments (TDMI) to measure the thermal diffusivity α of the material. TDMI is calibrated by pure substance such as copper, tin, lead, Aluminium 6061 etc., after done the calibration, the thermal conductivity of heat pipe 、 graphite sheet and vapour chamber also be measured. The repeatability error in this experiment, are within 5%. Compared with the thermal diffusivity data of those the pure substance from handbook while for the accurate relative error were within 10% as well.
