Values of thermal diffusivity (K) in different soil layers for the first three harmonics have been computed for six stations in the dry farming tract of India by using amplitude ratio and phase lag. In general, the combined effect of all these harmonics gives the values of K close to the order of the experimental values. It is found that the theory of simple heat conduction is not applicable to soil medium. While the lowest values of K in all the harmonics are found at Rajahmundry, the highest values are observed at either Hissar or Bhubaneshwar for the first two harmonics and at Pantnagar for the third harmonic. Strong annual and bi-annual cycles dominate at Hissar. Pantnagar and Bhubaneshwar while quarterly cycle is significant only at Pantnagar.

An alternative photoacoustic cell configuration for the determination of the thermal diffusivity (α), at room temperature, for solid materials is presented. The method is based on the use of two identical photoacoustic chambers, inside both of them, a metallic foil thermally thin is used to transform the light energy to heat energy.  A Reference material placed parallel to a study material allows to relate the thermal properties of the materials used as support in the photoacoustic chambers of the experimental arrangement presented here. The ratio between experimental and theoretical photoacoustic amplitudes is realized to validate a proposed mathematical model.

The open photoacoustic cell technique (OPC) was carried out in order to measure the thermal diffusivity of hardmetal. Hardmetal is usually processed by the conventional powder technology techniques: mix of WC + Co powders, compacting, and liquid phase sintering A new method to process hardmetal parts is hereby described. Parts of WC-15%wt Co were processed by using high pressure – high temperature sintering. It was used the pressure of 5GPa, temperature of 1350 oC, and time of 2 minutes of sintering. In addition to the thermal diffusivity, heat capacity was considered and the thermal conductivity achieved. Results matched with the values of the literatures where others photoacoustic techniques have been employed. It was achieved a thermal capacity of 3.34J/cm3K, thermal diffusivity of 0.35cm2/s, and thermal conductivity of 116.9W/mK. It reveals that the HPHT processed WC- 15%wtCo hardmetal is able to work as a cutting tool, in the thermal point of view.

Under field conditions, thermal diffusivity can be estimated from soil temperature data but also from the properties of soil components together with their spatial organization. We aimed to determine soil thermal diffusivity from half-hourly temperature measurements in a Rhodic Kanhapludalf, using three calculation procedures (the amplitude ratio, phase lag and Seemann procedures), as well as from soil component properties, for a comparison of procedures and methods. To determine thermal conductivity for short wave periods (one day), the phase lag method was more reliable than the amplitude ratio or the Seemann method, especially in deeper layers, where temperature variations are small. The phase lag method resulted in coherent values of thermal diffusivity. The method using properties of single soil components with the values of thermal conductivity for sandstone and kaolinite resulted in thermal diffusivity values of the same order. In the observed water content range (0.26-0.34 m³ m-3), the average thermal diffusivity was 0.034 m² d-1 in the top layer (0.05-0.15 m) and 0.027 m² d-1 in the subsurface layer (0.15-0.30 m).

AbstractA new method to measure thermal diffusivity in samples at simultaneous high pressure and high temperature is presented. The sample is placed inside a cylindrical heater and subjected to a heater power that varies sinusoidally with time. The diffusion of the temperature variations into the sample is monitored using radiographic imaging of marker foils. This provides measurements of the phase lag and amplitude variation of the temperature cycle at a range of radii from the sample axis without the need for multiple thermocouples. The technique is tested using a NaCl sample at 4 GPa; the best-fit thermal diffusivity for NaCl at 4 GPa and 673 K is 2.4±0.5x10-6 m2/s.
