O-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene are all given new representative reference equations for their thermal conductivities based upon experimental data that has been critically assessed for consistency and agreement with theory. This data was collected in part due to the transient hot wire method. The ...
Liquid toluene is a material used in industrial processes, and generally the thermal conductivity needs to be determined for efficient use. However, the thermal conductivity varies depending on high temperatures and other physical variables. The transient hot ...
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of a transient plane source (TPS) method to measure thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and volumetric heat capacity. Four samples were tested standard steel, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), LLDPE with 5 wt% graphite composite, and LLDPE with 15 ...
Some researchers argue that the anomalous k enhancement data, for nanofluids, is caused by inaccuracies of thermal measurement methods. In this paper, measurements on thermal conductivities of nanofluid mixtures (alumina/water) by means of two different methods are accomplished. The thermal conductivity was measured, and ...
This study aims to use Boron Nitride (BN) materials as thermo-conductive fillers to enhance the heat transfer in fluids. For this study, BN nanotubes, and nanospheres were added to fluids, to test for individual thermal enhancements. With the addition of BN nanotubes to water, the ...
