Abstract

The thermal wave resonator cavity (TWRC) to measure the thermal properties of vegetable oils was discussed. A linear relation between the amplitude and phase as functions of the cavity length for the TWRC was observed and used for the measurements. The results showed a distinction between extra virgin olive oil and other oils in terms of the thermal diffusion.
