Abstract

Thermal conductivity of a material is a physical property of significant importance in the field of engineering. In the present study, the thermal conductivity of cenospheres have been experimentally determined for particle diameter size ranges of < 105 μm, 105 μm to 180 μm, and > 180 μm using concentric spheres method. The experimentally estimated thermal conductivity of cenosphere has been found to be in the range of 0.128 - 0.365 W/mK which is comparable with literature.

Keywords
