The Transient Cylindrical Probe Method for Determination of Thermal Parameters of Earth Materials

Kristiansen, J. I.

The transient cylindrical probe method has been used widely to measure the thermal conductivity of earth materials. The efficiency of the method is dependent on basic mathematical analysis as well as treatment of experimental data. It is considered that the introduction of new and effective techniques will improve the method
