This article described an experimental set up using the TPS instrument and a high pressure vessel to enable researchers to accurately measures the thermal conductivity of metal hydrides as a function of pressure. Metal hydrides have promise in applications of hydrogen storage in the auto industry, however a better understanding of their thermal properties is required. The authors investigated thermal conductivity, diffusivity, specific heat and thermal contact resistance. Experimental trials ...
This article investigated the thermal properties of methane hydrates to understand their potential in energy applications and how they could affect the climate. The thermal analyzer was used in a high pressure situation to accurately measure the thermal properties of the methane hydrates. This system was modified by the researchers in order to perform in the high pressure situation. Additionally, an uncompacted methane hydrate sample was created in the sample ...
