Three thermal analysis methods with different degrees of empiricism are quantitatively investigated regarding the ease of use, efficiency, accuracy and redundancy of generated information. From this investigation it is concluded that, for design purposes, a sensitive interplay between experiment and theory can often lead to an optimum method.
