Thermal inertia, thermal admittance, and the effect of layers

Remote Sensing of Environment, 1980
Abstract The effect of a diurnally varying flux on a solid surface is analysed in terms of thermal admittance, the reciprocal of complex thermal conductance. The presence of a surface layer of differing thermal characteristics from the bulk material, which can significantly affect the phase and amplitude of the temperature wave of the exposed surface,

Thermal Losses/Thermal Inertia

1986
Quantifying the loss stair-step has been one of the important goals of the evaluation team at the SSPS project. This evaluation area addresses each of the loss elements as they were evaluated, and also discusses one of the interesting realizations that resulted from this evaluation — thermal inertia, a major hinderance to successful solar thermal ...

Advanced thermal inertia modelling

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1995
Abstract This paper presents a simple and operational thermal inertia model by using the phase angle information of the diurnal temperature change. The model which is developed in this paper is based on our first-order approximation operational thermal inertia model.

A Thermal Inertia Map of Titan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2019
AbstractLike Earth, the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is affected by the ability of the surface to store and release heat. Modeling efforts have shown that global temperature distributions and wind profiles differ between simulations describing Titan's surface with a uniform thermal inertia.

The radiobrightness thermal inertia measure of soil moisture

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1992
Radiobrightness thermal inertia (RTI) is proposed as a method for using day-night differences in satellite-sensed radiobrightness to monitor the moisture of Great Plains soils. Diurnal thermal and radiobrightness models are used to examine the sensitivity of the RTI method.

Downscaling of air humidity based on thermal inertia

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
Air humidity is an important input variable to estimate terrestrial evapotranspiration based on satellite remote sensing. The air humidity obtained by the observations from surface meteorological stations is limited in their spatial and temporal representation.

Thermal inertia associated with ultrapulse technology in phacoemulsification

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2006
To determine whether very short pulses of ultrasound (5 to 6 milliseconds) have less heat propagation in biological tissue (thermal inertia) than traditional pulses (50 milliseconds).Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.Thermal testing was done in balanced salt solution (BSS ...

Thermal inertia of thermocouples

Measurement Techniques, 1961
A naked thermocouple can be used for studying objects with thermal inertia, with its own thermal inertia neglected, providing high-precision measurements are not required. The use of commercial thermocouples for dynamic measurements, however, introduces an error which normally cannot be neglected.

The Scaling of the Thermal Inertia of Lizards

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1980
ABSTRACT The thermal status of an animal is the result of a combination of physical and physiological factors. In poikilotherms, it may be possible to separate these more easily than in homeotherms, where the presence of control mechanisms can mask the processes occurring.

Thermal runaway reactions in a low thermal inertia apparatus

Thermochimica Acta, 1986
Abstract A new apparatus utilizing a unique low heat capacity sample container is described for studying thermal runaway reactions. Other features provided by this new technique include: nearly equal pressures between sample container and the outside containment vessel as the runaway proceeds, a nearly zero temperature gradient outside the sample ...
