How to Calculate Thermal Diffusivity?
Thermal Diffusivity calculator uses Thermal Diffusivity = Thermal Conductivity of Conduction/(Density*Specific Heat Capacity) to calculate the Thermal Diffusivity, Thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure. It measures the rate of transfer of heat in a material from the hot end to the cold end. Thermal Diffusivity is denoted by α symbol.
