Microstructural and thermophysical properties of U–6 wt.%Zr alloy for fast reactor application

Thermophysical properties of a uranium-6 wt. % zirconium alloy were investigated at high temperatures to evaluate the performance of the alloy as a driver fuel for a liquid-metal cooled fast reactor. Of particular interest to the authors were the coefficient of thermal expansion, the specific heat, and the thermal conductivity of the alloy....

Mechanical and thermal characterization of cis-polyisoprene and trans-polyisoprene blends

The mechanical and thermal properties of blends of cis-polyisoprene (CPI) and trans-polyisoprene (TPI) are investigated and compared to those of the pure elastomers. It was found that the elastic modulus and tensile strength increased with increasing TPI content and that the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of the blends also increased with increasing TPI content. In contrast to this trend, the measured thermal properties of pure TPI were ...

Effect of some metallic additives (Ag, Cd, and Sn) on thermal transport properties of a-Se         

Molten selenium, silver, cadmium, and tin were used to prepare a-Se, and a-Se98M2 (M = Ag, Cd, and Sn) alloys in order to determine the thermo-physical properties of these materials using the transient plane source technique. In order for these alloys to be used in industrial applications such as phase change optical storage, photo electrochemical solar cells, and holographic recording systems, among others, their thermal transport properties needed to be ...

Chemical Composition, Density, Specific Gravity, Apparent Porosity, and Thermal Transport Properties of Volcanic Rocks in the Temperature Range 253 to 333 K

The density related properties (specific gravity, density, apparent porosity), and thermal transport properties were determined for diorite and granite rocks taken from the Shewa-Shahbaz Garhi volcanic complex, Pakistan. All measurements were made at varying temperatures from 253-333 K to determine the effect of temperature on the properties. It was found that all of the properties investigated depended on the chemical composition of the rock samples. For a given sample, the ...

Experimental determination and fractal modeling of the effective thermal conductivity of autoclaved aerated concrete: Effects of moisture content

Autoclaved aerated concrete was studied because it has potential to be used in the design of energy-efficient buildings. Three different samples were tested, each with a unique density. Of particular interest to this work was the thermal conductivity of the samples, as this material would be used as a thermally insulating concrete. The thermal conductivities were measured at various percentages of moisture content, and it was found that increasing moisture ...
