Thermal Inductance



As an example, from page 34 of
http://web.mit.edu/2.151/www/Handouts/EnPwrFlow.pdf (other references easy
to find)

"Thermal Inductance: No significant physical phenomenon has been observed
which corresponds to energy storage due to heat flow in a "thermal
inductor". Thus only one thermal energy storage element, the thermal
capacitance, is defined."

and of course, we have thermal resistance.

So it appears that thermal resistance and thermal capacitance but no thermal
inductance phenomena have been observed. Does anyone know of any cases
where thermal inductance has been observed?
