Measurements were carried out to determine the electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficients of a series of Fe-doped misfit-layered oxides (Ca3Co(4-x)Fe(x)O(9+delta) (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2)). The thermal conductivity experiments were carried out using a Thermal Constants Analyzer via the TPS technique. XRD was also used to characterize the Fe-doped oxides. Overall, the transport properties of the Fe-doped oxides were studied and it was found that ...
The authors created a series of composite latent storage materials (CLSM) using expanded graphite (EG) and a two different metal nitrate phase change materials (K and Li, K and Na). The steady-state comparative method was used in order to measure thermal conductivities because it was deemed the best technique. Properties investigated that were related to the effective thermal conductivity were material temperature and microstructure and their effect on thermal conductivity....
