The purpose of this study was to analyze the thermal properties of metal hydride for its application in hydrogen storage systems. The thermal properties of metal hydride were measured using the Thermal Property Analyzer based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. To verify the accuracy of the TPS method, the thermal properties of stainless steel pellets were measured prior to the metal hydride samples. Unfortunately, the thermal behavior of ...
The purpose of this study was to measure the thermodynamic properties of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([HMIM]BF4) and its graphene-dispersed ionic liquid based nanofluids (Ionanofluids) from room temperature to 200 °C. A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the samples using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of [HMIM]BF4 and the GE-dispersed Ionanofluids increased linearly with temperature, and with mass particle fraction. It ...
Phosphosilicate ceramics with varying compositions were synthesized through the sol-gel process and the thermal conductivity of the samples was measured using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of phosphosilicate ceramic powder was low, but increased slightly with phosphorous concentration. The low thermal conductivity of the ceramics could be useful in thermal barrier applications....
This paper examined the thermophysical properties of hydrate using disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O to develop a long-term latent heat storage (LTLHS) using supercooling. The thermal conductivities of solid and liquid disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of liquid disodium hydrogenphosphate 12H2O increased slightly with temperature, whereas the solid phase showed a minor downward trend. Also, thermal ...
Understanding the pyrolysis model for medium density fibreboard (MDF) is important for infrastructure fire safety. The purpose of this study was to determine the thermophysical properties of charred and uncharred MDF. The thermal conductivity of these inhomogeneous fibreboards was measured using a Thermal Constants Analyser in conjunction with the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the experimental results were in good agreement with literature values, and specifically, the ...
