Measurement on thermal conductivity of compacted GMZ001 bentonite

This article looks at GMZ deposits as a candidate for buffer material of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in china. A thermal analyzer was used to measure thermal conductivity of compacted GMZ001 bentonite using the transient plane source technique. Results found that for samples having the same weight percentage of dry and wet density, thermal conductivity increased as the water content increased....

Experimental ingestigations on thermal conductivity characteristics of Beishan granitic rocks for China’s HLW disposal

Thermal conductivity of 47 pairs of granitic rock specimens were measured using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. Crystalline rocks are being considered for the construction high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal systems. Dry and wet samples, the effect of water saturation, and the influence of temperature were all factors investigated in this study....

Characterization of temperature profiles in skin and transdermal delivery system when exposed to temperature gradients in vivo and in vitro

Elevated temperatures enhance the drug delivering ability of many transdermal delivery systems (TDS). This paper uses an in vivo method to examine the effects of heightened temperature on TDS, which can be applied to in vitro research. A Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity and thermal resistivity of the TDS using the transient plane source (TPS) method at 40°C. The experimental in vivo thermal resistivity results for skin were ...

Thermal conductivity of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO)-based nanofluids

This paper examined the thermal conductivity of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) based nanofluids using three transient methods including the transient plane source (TPS) technique. They also explored how temperature, shape, and nanoparticle concentration affect thermal conductivity. The thermal properties of aluminum oxide/PAO and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/PAO were tested, and results showed that nanoparticle concentration increases thermal conductivity more than expected.

Thermal conductivity of polyamide 12 powder for use in laser sintering

In order to better understand how the laser sintering process affects polyamide 12 powder, the authors measured the thermal conductivity of polyamide 12 powder at various densities and conditions. The investigations determined that thermal conductivity of polyamide 12 powder is influenced by temperature and density. The researchers hope to improve the thermal control in laser sintering processes....
