This article studied the thermal conductivity values and measurements for the following two systems using the transient hot wire (THW) and transient plane source (TPS) techniques: ethylene glycol with added CuO, TiO2, or Al2O3 nanoparticles and water with ...
This study used a two part process to create a system that would predict the thermal conductivity of insulated building materials containing plant materials. A finite-discrete element method was used to predict the thermal conductivity of a packed bed of sunflower pith, while a discrete ...
Using the transient method, the thermoelastic properties of disk brakes are studied. Specifically, frictional heat generation is studied using the finite element method. In addition to this, the investigators looked into the thermoelastic instability (TEI) phenomenon in order to modify the conceptual design of disk ...
A new application for the transient hot-wire technique for thermal conductivity measurements has been described. It is intended to provide an accurate means of implementation of the method to the determination of the thermal conductivity of solids exemplified by a standard reference ceramic material. Measurements ...
