5) Latent Heat of Fusion (Heat of Melting):
• The latent heat of fusion for aluminum is
approximately 389 J/g. This is the amount of heat
energy required to change one gram of solid
aluminum at its melting point into liquid aluminum
without changing its temperature.
6) Thermal Diffusivity (α):
• Thermal diffusivity represents the rate at which heat
is conducted relative to the rate at which it is stored
in a material. It is calculated as the ratio of thermal
conductivity (k) to the product of specific heat
capacity (Cp) and density (ρ). The units of thermal
 diffusivity are typically square meters per second
(m^2/s). The value of thermal diffusivity for pure
aluminum can be calculated using the values of k, Cp,
and ρ at the specific temperature of interest.
• The thermal diffusivity (α) of a material is calculated
using the following formula:
• α = k / (ρ * Cp)
Where:
α is the thermal diffusivity (in square meters per second,
m^2/s).
k is the thermal conductivity of the material (in watts per
meter per degree Celsius, W/m·°C).
ρ is the density of the material (in kilograms per cubic
meter, kg/m³).
Cp is the specific heat capacity of the material (in joules
per kilogram per degree Celsius, J/kg·°C).
7) Emissivity (ε):
Emissivity is a measure of how effectively a material emits
thermal radiation compared to a perfect black body. The
emissivity of aluminum can vary depending on its surface
finish, but for most practical purposes, it is considered to
be relatively high, around 0.05 to 0.1. This means that
aluminum is a good emitter of thermal radiation.
9) Thermal Resistance (R):
Thermal resistance is the measure of a material's
resistance to the flow of heat. It is the reciprocal of
thermal conductance (R = 1 / C). To calculate thermal
resistance, you would use the reciprocal of thermal
conductivity (1 / k).
