, sensor effusivity can be calculated from (20).
In practice, for high effusivity (high k) materials equation (13) is inaccurate, because the heat
flows also laterally and the one-dimensional heat flow assumption is no longer satisfied.
Equations (13), (14) and (15) are only approximate.
A better representation of this case can be achieved by a second order polynomial
approximation. Example of sensor effusivity calibration curve using metals is given below.
This curve can be mathematically described (instead of (17)) as:
