The potential of the transient plane source (TPS) technique for the testing of thermo-physical properties of hydrogen storage materials is evaluated. To do this, stacks of interleaved samples of stainless steel 316L, Teflon, and Lexan were tested for thermal conductivity using the anisotropic module in the TPS software. It was determined that the axial and radial thermal conductivities were as expected with the exception of the presence of some deviation ...
This study aimed to determine the effect of instrument temperature cooling time on the accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements. Multiple samples, with varying thermal conductivities, were measured using the Thermal Constants Analyzer, and with five different cooling times. Cooling times, and their effect on the thermal conductivity results were analyzed, and appropriate cooling times were suggested, based on the findings....
