Thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of A-150 plastic.
Some thermal properties of A-150 tissue-equivalent plastic have been determined. The results are: thermal diffusivity, 2.72 x 10(-3) cm2s-1 +/- 0.4%; specific heat, 1.72 J g-1 K-1 +/- 1.3%; and thermal conductivity, 5.3 x 10(-3) WK-1 cm-1 +/- 1.4%. The significance of the measurements for the design of a calorimeter core calibration heater is briefly described.
