Thermal Conductivity Measurement System

TCMS is an electronic system to measure the thermal conductivity of solid and liquidpropellant specimens. The system functions on 'Transient Hotwire' technology where acopper/platinum wire is used as the primary sensor element for measurement. TCMS iscapable of detecting nano-volt level signals from the sensor element when it is excited by aninbuilt constant current source with micro-ampere level accuracy and stability. The thermalconductivity of liquid propellant is an important parameter to determine its usability as fuel forvarious stages of rocket propulsion.
