A method for measuring the specific heat capacity of layered structures using the Boubaker polynomials expansion scheme

  • Heat Conduction and Heat Exchange in Technological Processes
  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

An original method is used to measure the specific heat capacity of some layered structures. The conjoint theoretical–experimental measurement protocol is based on photothermal data and polynomial expansion mathematical analysis. The obtained value of the specific heat capacity for a solar cell buffer material is compared to recently reported results.
