Using Laminar Flow to measure Thermal Conductivity

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on measuring thermal conductivity using laminar flow for a project. The Nusselt Number formula, which includes thermal conductivity, is mentioned as relevant to the measurement process. The user recalls another formula involving density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity but cannot remember it fully. They are seeking assistance and tips to guide them in the right direction for their project. The inquiry highlights the importance of integrating thermal conductivity measurements into a larger system.

So, there's a project I'm working on (no, it's not school related), where I'm trying to figure out how to measure thermal conductivity of a material using laminar flow. The idea is to integrate this into a larger system, and it's a measurement I'd like to take in the process.

I know the Nusselt Number formula has conductivity in it, and I know there was another formula somewhere that was [(ro)*Cp]/k, but I honestly can't remember what it was.

Any help, or tips to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves. Blue AM 0 as measured yellow Planck for 5777 K green Planck for, 5777 K after free space expansion red Planck for 1.000.000 K To me the idea of a gamma-Ray-source on earth, below the magnetic field, which protects life on earth from solar radiation, in an intensity, which is way way way outer hand, makes no sense to me. If they really get these high temperatures realized in...
