VARIATIONAL METHODS FOR EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND THERMAL ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS OBJECTS
I. S. Lisker UDC 536.2.083:538.63 The methods of automated determination of the thermophysical properties and thermal analysis of various objects (solid bodies, dispersed materials, and liquids) are substantiated. They are based on program variation of thermal fields in the experiment. Agrophysical Scientific-Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia; email: ivl@agrophys.spb.su.
