Investigation of thermal and mechanical properties of Cu-Al alloys with silver addition prepared by powder metallurgy

This article investigated the effects of silver addition to copper-aluminum (Cu-Al) alloys. These effects were studied by observing the microstructural, thermal, and mechanical properties of the alloy through a variety of methods. A Thermal Constant Analyzer was used to determine the thermal properties (specifically the thermal conductivities) of the alloys by implementing the transient plane source (TPS) method. From this method, it was found that the thermal conductivity and diffusivity ...

Thermal properties of BaTiO3/Ag composites at different temperatures

In this study, the influence of silver phase on thermal properties of BaTiO₃/Ag composites are investigated. A thermal analyzer was used to measure the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the composites at ambient and elevated temperature up to 175°C. Results found that for a fixed silver composition, the thermal conductivity of the composite remained nearly constant below its tetragonal to cubic transformation temperature (120°C), then decreased and stayed ...

Enhanced thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol-based suspensions in the presence of silver nanoparticles of various sizes and shapes

Silver (Ag) has the highest thermal conductivity of all metals, making it an attractive nanoparticle for use in heat transfer systems. The shape of nanoparticles influences their thermal conductivity, so three varieties of Ag nanoparticles were tested in this study. The Thermal Constants Analyser measured the thermal conductivity of Ag nanospheres (NSs), nanowires (NWs), and nanoflakes (NFs) between 10-30 °C using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that ...

Analysis of flow and heat transfer characteristics of micro-pin fin heat sink using silver nanofluids

Enhancing heat transfer in miniaturized radiators is an important goal for many researchers. In this study, silver nanofluids were employed to improve the transfer of heat in micro-pin fin heat sinks. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the silver nanofluid samples using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the addition of silver nanoparticles to the working fluids improved thermal conductivity, but at high concentrations, ...

Thermal conductivity of nanoporous glass alumina film and composites

The thermal conductivity of nanoporous glass alumina films (NGAFs) were theoretically and experimentally studied in this paper. The thermal conductivity of pristine NGAFs and silver nanowire-infused NGAFs of various pore sizes and porosities were measured with a thermal constants analyser based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Theoretical and experimental results were consistent with one another, and indicated that the pore radius and porosity of the films influenced thermal ...
