Phase change materials (PCMs) can be used as heat sinks to manage high temperature fluctuations in electronics. In this paper, a heat sink was generated from a paraffin/expanded graphite composite PCM, and the thermal conductivities of the materials were measured using the transient plane ...
The authors created a series of composite latent storage materials (CLSM) using expanded graphite (EG) and a two different metal nitrate phase change materials (K and Li, K and Na). The steady-state comparative method was used in order to measure thermal conductivities because it was ...
Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of two poly(methyl methacrylates) were measured using multiple methods; temperature wave analysis, laser flash, transient plane source, transient line-source probe, and heat flux meter. The main reasoning behind this study was to compare results between methods, to ensure repeatability ...
