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 ...
The Transient Plane Source method (TPS) simultaneously measures thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity. This paper investigates the possibilities of using sensors, to record the thermal effusivity of a substrate. With the original method, the thermal effusivity of uniaxial, homogeneous materials in the through-plane direction can ...
Clathrates are thermoelectric materials that are used in waste heat recovery applications. This study tested the thermophysical properties of the n-doped clathrate Ba8Ga16Ge30 after gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) substituted antimony (Sb) and zinc (Zn). A TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of ...
This research highlights the capabilities of transient measurements and sensors to estimate thermal conductivities of samples with large voids/variations in their compositions. Because of the lack of a physical model to predict thermal conductivity vs depth information of inhomogenous materials, researchers have utilized existing ...
This article studied the effect of the addition of TiO2 nanoinclusions on bulk Ba8Ga16Ge30clathrate. Both thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity were investigated. Results produced by the TPS system revealed that thermal conductivity decreased as the amount of nanoinclusions increased. The authors concluded ...
