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 ...
Using the transient plane source (TPS) technique, the authors investigated the thermal properties of a series of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). The YSZ coatings had varying amounts of impurities (Zr, Y, Si, Al oxides) and the amount of impurity affected the post-spray ...
