Thermal admittance formula clarification
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:APBI200
Dexter, the formula in the class notes is correct. The thermal admittance, or ability of the soil to store heat when temperature varies over a specified range, is the square root of the product of thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity.
Thanks for pointing out the error in SoilWeb, I will pass this along to the SoilWeb team to correct.
