Study of thermal conductivity of nanoporous anodic alumina layer formed in sulphuric acid using steady-state heat flow technique

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies of thermal characteristics of nanoporous anodic alumina layer formed in sulphuric acid. One-sided heating of aluminum boards by heating element from carbon filament was used. The temperature of the back side of the board was kept constant by using an aluminum heatsink. Thermograms of aluminum board surface were taken by thermal imaging camera MobIR M4.
