    摘要: A thermal properties measuring device is for measuring a thermal property of an object to be measured. The thermal properties measuring device includes a heating element, a measurement window, and at least one thermometer. The heating element is configured to be heated to a first temperature. The measurement window and the heating element are disposed according to a specific geometric relationship. The measurement window is configured to provide a heat transfer path between the object and the heating element. The thermometer is configured to measure an initial temperature of the to-be-measured object, and to measure a measured temperature after the heating element is heated. The measured temperature of the object is different from the initial temperature of the object. The thermal property of the object is associated with the specific geometric relationship, the first temperature, the initial temperature, the measured temperature and an environment temperature.

    摘要: A measurement unit (101) acquires a first value serving as a thermal conductivity index and a second value serving as a thermal diffusivity index, with respect to a fuel gas to be measured, at a first temperature, a second temperature, and a third temperature that are different from each other. A change rate calculation unit (102) calculates a temperature change rate κ1 of the first value between the first temperature and the second temperature, measured by the measurement unit (101), a temperature change rate κ2 of the first value between the second temperature and the third temperature, a temperature change rate α1 of the second value between the first temperature and the second temperature, and a temperature change rate α2 of the second value between the second temperature and the third temperature. A calorific value calculation unit (103) calculates the calorific value of the fuel gas through a calorific value calculation formula in which the κ1, κ2, α1, and α2 serve as explanatory variables and the calorific value serves as an object variable.

    摘要: This invention addressed a method for measuring the foreign substance content invaded into a thin plate porous material based on the principle of virtual heat sources. The technical points of the invention are: (1) using the principle of virtual heat sources to improve the traditional heat pulse method to measure the foreign substance content; (2) representing the heat transfer effect on boundaries of the thin plate porous material by establishing an infinite number of virtual heat sources with two different heat intensities; (3) obtaining the volumetric heat capacity of the test material together with the invaded foreign substance content based on the four-parameter search to obtain the best temperature match between the measurement and the solution. Unlike the existent methods, there is no specific requirement on the domain size of the test materials and the heat transfer boundary conditions, which makes the measurement of the foreign substance content into the plate-shape test material with a finite thickness more readily.
