THERMAL EFFUSIVITY

In Thermodynamics, the 'thermal effusivity' of a material is defined as the square root of the product of the material's thermal conductivity and its volumetric heat capacity.^[1]
:$e\; =\; \{(k$
ho C_p)}^{1/2}
Here, 'k' is the thermal conductivity, '$$
ho' is the density and '$C\_p$' is the specific heat capacity. The product of '$$
ho' and '$C\_p$' is known as the 'volumetric heat capacity'.
A material's thermal effusivity is a measure of its ability to exchange thermal energy with its surroundings.
