This study aimed to determine the thermal conductivity of gas-filled Metal Organic Framework (MOF) materials. Glass beads were used as the reference material, and nitrogen (N2) and helium (He) were added to the MOF materials. A TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of the MOF samples using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. Results showed that the MOF materials containing copper had higher thermal conductivities than iron-filled materials, and the ...
Two series of nanofluids were prepared by the researchers, using water as the carrier fluid, and Al2O3 and TiO2 as the nanoparticles; up to 6% particle volume fraction was used. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the nanofluids were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique, and dynamic viscosity was also measured. The amount of nanoparticle volume fraction affected the value of thermal conductivity, but the nanoparticle cluster ...
