Ventura G. Thermal Properties of Solids at...Temperatures 2014

Textbook in PDF format

This book addresses the needs of researchers in physics and chemistry, project engineers and students interested in cryogenics and thermal properties of matter. Using a musical analogy it is piano four hands, not a work for two different instruments. The book’s three parts, each of which is devoted to a respective thermal property, are written with the same guiding philosophy: (1) to describe theories on the propagation of heat in solids in a format that is concise but sufficiently detailed to understand the three thermal phenomena; (2) to review the main experimental techniques with some examples taken from the literature; and (3) to present experimental data in the form of tables and graphs.
