Abstract: 

This paper presents systematic study on thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity of twelve different wood species of different botanical families. A significant variation in thermal properties is observed with respect to each species as well as in same species also. The variation in thermal properties is critically discussed with density and porosity. Structural variations in wood have been analyzed on the basis of variation in thermal parameters.
