The aim of the study is to establish the coniferous needles’ thermal conductivity and its dependence on granulometric composition. Following the one factor experiment, flow measurements are done and findings are analyzed. Humidity and density of samples are tested. Findings show that the thermal conductivity coefficient is different for the freely poured coniferous needles of different granulometric composition. Although needles of a smaller granulometric composition have a greater heat transfer coefficient, the freely poured coniferous needles hold heat effectively.

Keywords
coniferous, fir, heat conductivity, heat flow measurements.
