Through the use of experimental (one-sided TPS technique) and theoretical (MD simulations) methods, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of methane hydrate was studied. Varying concentrations of methane hydrate were studied. The effect of pressure on the thermal properties of methane hydrate was also studied and didn't have a significant effect on the measurement of thermal conductivity. The results obtained from the experimental and theoretical methods agreed well with each ...
This study aims to understand the thermal conductivity of nanoscale porous material. Macroscale simulations of thermal conductivity were revised to predict the thermal conductivity of nanoscale porous material. Using the thermal constants analyzer, two packed beds of nanoscale nickel particles and a single packed bed of microscale nickel particles were measured for their effective thermal conductivities. Results concluded the thermal conductivity of the solid particles was higher than the thermal ...
