In technical processes involving liquids, there is a need to be able to measure their thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat) efficiently and effectively. The authors believe that conventional methods and devices for measuring thermophysical properties are not adequate for measuring liquid in flow conditions. They assert that laminar flow methods and devices provide advantages over conventional TPP measurement methods and devices for assessing liquid flow. Following a review of traditional practices, they present information about, and examples of laminar flow methods and measuring devices. Most of the references cited are from Russian research.
