Azizul Moqsud, Shigenori Hayashi, Yan Jun Du, Daisuke SuetsuguIn order to explore the thermal properties of the Ariake Sea mud and to find out the affecting factors which affect these values, a portable thermal properties analyzer was used. Thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of the mud samples collected from both the tidal flat and inside the deep sea were measured in the laboratory. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
