The thermal and mechanical properties of 4 different types of concrete were studied in the temperature range of 20°C to 800°C. Thermal properties studied include: thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal expansion. Data generated from the testing of these samples using the TPS method were used in order to generate simplified expressions of thermal and mechanical properties as a function of time....
Thermal transport properties were measured with the Thermal Constants Analyser. Various parameters were set in place during the experiment including output of power, temperature, and heat flow. Measurements took place on sheets of insulating materials with specialized sensors as this is an importance when measuring thermal conductivity....
Barium titanate-based ceramics are most commonly found in electronics as dielectric layers in multilayer ceramic capacitors. Two different forms of Barium titanate-based ceramics were analyzed in this article to determine heat capacities as a function of temperature. The thermal conductivities and thermal diffusivities of these two forms were also determined using the Hot Disk Transient Plane Source method. Inferences towards the performance and reliability of barium titanate-based ceramics under various ...
