This paper investigates the thermal capacity of multiple varieties of lead-free molten solder for application in electrical equipment. An accurate understanding of these properties would lead to a better controlled soldering process. Measurements are taken by a transient hot wire that was originally designed to be used on pure molten metals, but an improved finite-element code analyzed the data (this is called FE modeling). The measurements are taken from the ...
This paper aimed to measure the thermal conductivity of pure eicosane, eicosane-CuO and eicosane-MWCNTs solid composites. A Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the nanostructure-enhanced PCMs using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity increased rapidly as the temperature of the solid composites approached the melting point. Additionally, the samples that were solidified in an oven, and the eicosane-MWCNT samples experienced the largest ...
