    Microwave-Dimensional Measurements of Cylindrical Resonators for Primary Acoustic Thermometry

    Acoustic gas thermometry relies on the fundamental relationship between the speed of sound in a monatomic gas and its thermodynamic temperature. The speed of sound is calculated from the resonance frequencies ...

    A Novel Comparative Photothermal Method for Measuring Thermal Diffusivity

    A novel comparative method has been developed at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to measure the thermal diffusivity of semi-infinite samples without a priori knowledge of the boundary conditions. It is bas...
