Modeling and Measuring Thermodynamic and Transport Thermophysical Properties: A Review

The present review describes the up-to-date state of evaluation thermophysical properties (TP) materials with three different procedures: modeling (also including inverse problems), measurements and analytical methods (e.g., through computing from other properties). Methods to measure specific heat thermal conductivity are described in detail. Thermal diffusivity effusivity a combination previously cited properties, but also for these measurement calculation reported. Experiments can be carried out steady-state, transient, pulse regimes. For modeling, special focus is given parameter estimation procedures, because them it possible evaluate property, assuring best practices supplying uncertainty. It when most common data processing algorithms used, e.g., Gauss–Newton Levenberg–Marquardt least squares minimization algorithms, how retrieve values TP data. Optimization criteria designing experiments mentioned.
