This paper investigates the numerical analysis to determine the thermo-physical characteristics of materials. This method is based on a heating probe kept at a constant temperature and maintained in contact with a cylindrical sample. The heat power dissipated in the sample is measured by the probe. The results address to identify simultaneously the thermal conductivity, the volumetric heat capacity and the heat transfer coefficient using the inverse problem.

Abstract The thermal conductivity of 304 stainless steel has been estimated from transient temperature measurements and knowing the volumetric heat capacity. Sensitivity coefficients were used to guide the design of this experiment as well as to estimate the confidence interval in the estimated thermal conductivity. The uncertainty on the temperature measurements was estimated by several means, and its impact on the estimated conductivity is discussed. The estimated thermal conductivity of 304 stainless steel is consistent with results from other sources.
