TL;DR: In this paper, a simple in-house laboratory experiment method for the simultaneous estimation of principal thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of an orthotropic composite with non-intrusive temperature measurement is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) involving the simultaneous estimation of principal thermal conductivities (kxx,kyy,kzz ) and specific heat capacity of orthotropic materials is solved by using surrogate forward model.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental work for in-situ prediction of heat flux distribution profile on a flat plate receiver is presented, in which a Gaussian distribution is assumed to model the distribution of the heat flux and a deterministic search technique, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to solve the inverse problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, three different thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and emissivity are retrieved simultaneously using Bayesian inverse framework and two population-based sampling techniques such as Parallel Tempering (PT) and Evolutionary Monte-Carlo (EMC) are used along with MH-MCMC to sample through correlated PPDF to retrieve the above three thermal properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel experimental methodology is proposed for the simultaneous estimation of unknown thermal conductivity (k) and specific heat capacity (cp) of engineering materials, which involves radiative heating of the test sample and measuring its temperature response at two different locations.
