Enhancing heat transfer in miniaturized radiators is an important goal for many researchers. In this study, silver nanofluids were employed to improve the transfer of heat in micro-pin fin heat sinks. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the silver nanofluid samples using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the addition of silver nanoparticles to the working fluids improved thermal conductivity, but at high concentrations, ...
The ability of asphalt as a solar collector is studied with the help of the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Tubes were embedded into the asphalt slab and were used to circulate water, which collected the heat from the asphalt slabs....
