Lateral and Perpendicular Thermal Conductivity Measurement on Textile Double Layers

In this paper, the temperature distribution on a double layered fleece textile was measured experimentally with infrared thermography. A theoretical model based on the thin plate theory was to interpret the results measured. A two dimensional simulation of the same problem was carried out as well. By fitting the experimental data with the models, thermal conductivities in the lateral and perpendicular directions could be determined.
