Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
This Master's Thesis researched thermal transport at the nanoscale level in n-alkanes, and specifically focused on the effect of length of long chain n-alkane molecules on the thermal conductivity. A combination of transient measurements using the TPS method and molecular dynamics simulations were used in this research. The TPS method measured the thermal conductivity of three solid n-alkanes. Overall, the author concluded that there was an increase in thermal conductivity ...
