Abstract

With the development of bio-heat transfer technology, the research into the thermal effect mechanism of hardy plants, as well as the heat exchange between the plant and the surroundings has become another emerging issue in the field of heat transfer. Specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity are two important physical parameters during the study of material thermal properties, which play important roles in the analysis of mechanism of heat and mass transfer within plants. In this paper, the leaves of Camellia, Tarajo holly and Jasper were selected as the research object and the specific heat capacity of their detached leaves were measured by DSC, the thermal conductivity of leaf tissue was measured based on thermal probe method of hotline source instantaneous model. Conclusions are as follows: the specific heat and thermal conductivity of hardy plant leaves surged within a narrow temperature range around 0°C and peaked at 0°C, but the peak value of different plants was quite different. Each physical parameter values measured from experiments were within the permissible range, it was also verified that the experimental equipment and methods used before were reasonable and operational.
