In this article, researchers employed the use of the TPS method to test the thermal conductivities of various liquid materials, including mercury and silicone oils of different viscosities, in short-duration microgravity environments. The data received for the lower viscosity silicone liquids displayed extreme effects of thermal convection in the microgravity, as compared to the higher viscosity silicone liquids. When mercury was exposed to the microgravity environment, the thermal conductivity was ...
This article explains the theory behind the Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique. The method measures the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of materials (solids, liquids, gels, etc.), in a rapid, non-invasive and highly accurate manner. The TPS method is a great technique to be used for thermal characterization as it has a wider thermal conductivity range (0.005 – 500 W/mK) and an easy set-up. The sensor serves as both a temperature gauge and ...
The transient plane source method was used to perform thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat capacity measurements. Thermal transport properties of several thermal greases were characterized using TPS and data were compared to supplier data, received by other methods, to determine accuracy of the TPS method....
This research paper delves into the thermal conductivity monitoring of silicone-based electronic materials with various fillers, using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique. Aside from the results, researchers also highlight the main features of the TPS technique: a rapid, precise and non-invasive method for measuring thermal properties of various materials. The results received using the TPS technique match those received using other techniques, however when using the TPS technique 30 tests ...
This research article proposes the use of a thermal constants analyzer to measure thermal properties of relatively thin samples. Five different metallic samples containing copper, aluminum and brass were used to test the accuracy of the new and improved method. Previously, this method has been used to test the thermal properties of thin metallic sheets, however with the new and improved method, it is possible to measure samples with thicknesses ...
