I now hate the Rubber Book! Seriously.
I need to know the Thermal Diffusion Coefficient of a variety of example materials - a few metals, polymers and ceramics, a wide selection of examples.
This, you may think, is easy.
Thermal Conductivity = Diffusion Coefficient
Density * Specific Heat
If you want to find out these things, you automatically turn to the CRC Materials Science and Engineering Handbook - aka the Rubber Book. It's only then you realise the specific heats of all the elements are listed in calories per gram Kelvin. Specific heats of ceramics are calories per mole Kelvin. Polymers, just to be different, are in British Thermal Units per pound per degree Fahrenheit.
Thermal conductivity, well it can be BTU/hr/ft2/oF/ft. It can be miliWatts per metre Kelvin, Watts per centimeter Kelvin even calories per second centimeter Kelvin.
I don't need this, I'm not even supposed to be here today. Well, actually I am, but I just wanted to get in the Clerks quote. I'm not even supposed to be here now. I'm going home. And bugger buggger bugger the Chemical Rubber Company.
