It measures the rate of transfer of heat of a material from the hot side to the cold side.
Thermal diffusivity of marble.
Definition of thermal diffusivity.

Thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion.
It measures the rate of transfer of heat of a material from the hot end to the cold end.
Thermal diffusivity a with the unit mm 2 s is a material specific property for characterizing unsteady heat conduction.
This value describes how quickly a material reacts to a change in temperature.
Thermal diffusivity of air dried barre granite westerly granite salem limestone and holston marble as a function of temperature.
It has the si derived unit of m s thermal diffusivity is usually denoted α but a h κ k and d are also used.
Heat loss or gain can occur in three modes.
It has the si unit of m s.
