Two experimental arrangements have been used to measure the thermal diffusivity at room temperature for ten species of Malaysian wood using photoflash and photoacoustic (PA) techniques. Both use circular disc samples with thickness 1 to 2 mm and 100 to 200 μm respectively. In the photoflash experim...
