This article aimed to obtain more information on the microstructural, mechanical, thermo-physical, and ageing aspects of the Th-3 wt.% U alloy. The thermal conductivity of the Th-3U alloy was found at room temperature using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. It was found that the room temperature thermal conductivity of Th–3U alloy (35.6 W/m◦C) is superior to that of unalloyed uranium, existing oxide, and metallic fuel materials....
This article examined the properties of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) after “graphene-inspired” exfoliation left its crystalline films with a thickness of a few atoms. The thermal conductivities were found using the transient plane source (TPS) technique and the laser-flash method. An instrument was used for obtaining the thermal conductivity with the TPS technique. It was found that the exfoliated thin films have low thermal conductivity, relatively ...
In this study, the transient plane source (TPS) technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) pellets. These values were then used to determine the specific heat per unit volume of these glasses in the composition range of investigation. It was found that 4 at% of Sb (antimony) results in the critical composition of ...
Traditional alloys are composed of approximately one to two major metal elements, such as aluminum, and titanium, etc. For the purpose of casting molds, new research has led to the creation of high-entropy (HE) alloys, that encompass five or more major metal elements. This research led to the discovery of lower thermal properties in HE alloys, portraying them as potential coatings in the management of casting molds. Low thermally conductive ...
