    CHARACTERIZATION OF THERMAL PROPERTIES BEHAVIOUR OF CLAY IN EKITI STATE, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA
    (Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics, 2018) Egbeyale Godwin B; Adegoke Jame A
    Thermal quality of material is a useful property in building engineering. Today we deal with increasing requirements for quality of brick products, particularly in terms of thermal properties. These characteristics of products depend on many factors, such as conductivity. This paper presents results of the thermal properties of clay slabs, sampled at five different locations in Ekiti state. KD2 probe was used to determine the thermal properties of the slabs. Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity range from 0.12 to 0.17 W/mK; 6.62 to 10.9 m2 /s and 8.5x10 3 to 9.85x10 3 J/kgK, respectively. The results are useful data for builders and agriculturists.
