  The Thermal Physical Phenomenon of Some Native Wood Species in Nigeria

  By Paul Philip, R. Layi Fagbenle

  Abstract: The Determination of the thermal conductivity of some selected local wood species from measurement of necessary parameters required in its determination were performed using the Lee's disc method of measuring the thermal conductivity of a poor conductor in the form of a flat disc. Five hardwood species commonly patronized by timber contractors, builders, woodcarvers and cabinet-makers in Ile-Ife town, Nigeria were selected. The steady state method was employed in this …
