    Calculation of "thermal mass"

    Dear John, Thanks for your response. I better understand now, and am glad to hear that it hasn't been formally defined. I have seen people use mass*heat capacity and density*heat capacity. I prefer density* heat capacity becuase it relates to thermal duffusivity. By thermal diffusivity, I...
