This paper investigates the thermal capacity of multiple varieties of lead-free molten solder for application in electrical equipment. An accurate understanding of these properties would lead to a better controlled soldering process. Measurements are taken by a transient hot wire that was originally designed to be used on pure molten metals, but an improved finite-element code analyzed the data (this is called ...
7-Methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4,40]dec-5-ene (mTBD) is an important industrial chemical that is commonly used as a catalyst. Prior to the research conducted by Baird et al, the only available data on this chemical pertained to its density and a single vapor pressure value that is provided on chemical safety data sheets. This paper presents the first reliable, publicly available data on the thermodynamic and transport properties of mTBD. These values ...
Employing many techniques, including that of the transient hot wire, experimental data relating to the thermal conductivity of 13 inorganic molten salts have been gathered and critically examined with the purpose of building a reference correlation. The data in this paper was gathered at a 95% confidence level....
A study of the through-plane thermal conductivity of various gas diffusion layer materials (GDL) and the thermal contact resistance between the GDL and an electrolytic iron surface as a function of compression load. These factors were anaylized with the intention of gaining knowledge about in-situ fuel cells. Thermal conductivity measurements were taken by a modified version of the guarded heat flux meter ...
In an environment that experiences drastically changing temperatures it is potentially more energy efficient to use insulative walls that can change their apparent thermal conductivities. This paper suggests a nano-porous material able to change its thermal conductivity by a factor of 3 varying the pressure upon it from 1 to 100 kPa. Thermal conductivity measurements are made in-situ by an airtight guarded heat flow meter....
