It is observed that the values of thermal conductivity thermal diffusivity and specific heat for these marble samples are in close agreement with the earlier reported 1 results 2 3 00 w w m k x 1 23 mm2 s and pc 2 66 mj m3 k on black marble.
Thermal diffusivity of marble.
Thermal diffusivity is usually denoted α but a κ k and d are also used.

Thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion.
Definition of thermal diffusivity.
It measures the rate of transfer of heat of a material from the hot side to the cold side.
These will be discussed later in this chapter.
In heat transfer analysis thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure.
This value describes how quickly a material reacts to a change in temperature.
Thermal diffusivity a with the unit mm 2 s is a material specific property for characterizing unsteady heat conduction.

Conduction convection and radiation.
It has the si unit of m s.
It measures the rate of transfer of heat of a material from the hot end to the cold end.

In heat transfer analysis thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure.
All modes in heat transfer are from high temperature to a lower temperature and require an existence of a temperature difference.
