There appear many new materials and working fluids through the development of new technology related to aerospace, electronics etc., and some large science projects. It needs physical properties data of these materials in order to use them effectively. It is self-evident that a lack of thermal properties data has disturbed research and new technology development in many fields of machining, physical properties control and its application.
The needs of thermal properties data in various engineering fields were investigated by authorized researchers related to thermal properties of materials. This article reports investigating results of them. This work was supported by the science grant of Japanese Educational Ministory.
