For the present research work applied computational tools and the experimental development of three thermal conductivity measuring systems were used: LAMBDA-UNI, Portable LAMBDA-UNI and Portable LAMBDA-CERTES. The chronology of activities has not been optimal but the back and forth between modelling and experiments have improved our methodological and practical knowledge. The logic of this work was to find, within the limits established by the norms, which are the optimal design parameters that reduce to a minimum the errors of evaluation of the thermal conductivity of a sample of material. Therefore, in parallel with experimental tasks, we use modelling to perform sensitivity studies in order to evaluate which are the configurations and the design that reduces the flow of heat loss flow along the sides of the samples, taking into account the dimensions of the samples, the position of the resistors that heat the samples, among other aspects. First, major modifications were made to the cooling system, changes to the power supplies and thermocouples of the LAMBDA-UNI system, among other aspects. Later, experimental measurements of thermal conductivity were carried out with this device considering Ignimbrita Aeropuerto de Arequipa as a material of analysis. After the experiment, the LAMBDA-UNI system was modeled with the COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS software, taking into account for each component the material, its dimensions and physical properties. In this way, several models were made, the 4th version of the model being the “definitive“. Which considered steady state, power generation and boundary conditions. With respect to the simulations with LAMBDA UNI, a study was carried out to find the optimal thicknesses and radii of the analytical material taking into account the lateral axial heat losses. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of the relative error of the thermal conductivity has been carried out and it has been possible to find the optimal thickness and radius of 30 mm and 75 mm, respectively. Then, with these optimal valúes, the sensitivity analysis of the thermal conductivity was carried out. Then, another simulation was performed to study the effect of the thermal conductivity value of the insulating material surrounding the sample and it was determined that it is recommended to use extruded polystyrene due to its thermal conductivity value of 0,041 W/ m K. Finally, we performed a comparative analysis of the experimental data with the simulated model of 4 of LAMBDA- UNI obtaining a relative error of 4,7 % thus being a reliable result and demonstrating the efficiency of the modelling with finite elements of the proposed model. Simulations were also performed with the Portable LAMBDA-UNI system to compare it with LAMBDA-UNI and it was determined that both systems it is necessary to add an insulator that borders the hot plate and cold plates to keep the axial temperature profile as homogeneous as possible. Then, it was possible to determine a thickness range of the material to be measured between 10 mm and 20 mm such that the difference of the conductive flow in the z component between the analytic material is less than 5%. A comparative analysis of the experimental data with the simulated model 4 of LAMBDA-UNI was also carried out, obtaining a relative error of 4,7 %, thus being a reliable result and demonstrating the efficiency of the modeling with finite elements of the proposed model. Finally, a comparison of the simulated results and the experimental results of the Portable LAMBDA-CERTES system was made and a value of 0,254 W/ m K with a relative error of 6,54%, again the reliability of the modelling with COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS was corroborated. A comparative analysis of the relative error of the thermal conductivity was also carried out, finding the optimal thickness and length of the sample in 12 mm and 45 mm, respectively, and finally the sensitivity analysis was performed.
