Abstract
The paper is devoted to the presentation of a method for measurement of thermal conductivity k, specific heat capacity cp and thermal diffusivity α applying the lumped capacitance model (LCM) as a special case of Newton's model of cooling. At the specific experimental conditions resulting from the theoretical analysis of the used model, we present relatively very precise method for experimental determination of all three above mentioned thermal parameters for materials with different thermal transport properties. The input experimental data provide a cooling curve of the tested material obtained in special experimental arrangement. The evaluation of experimental data is realized by software the fundamental features of which are presented here. The statistical analysis of experimental data was performed (99% confidence interval P99).
