This paper aimed to develop a 3D simulation based on the TPS technique that analyzed the spiral geometry and properties of the sample material and TPS sensor. A numerical study was simulated to reproduce the transient curve generated by the experimental study. Results of the experiment showed that the temperature of the central rings in the sensor were higher than the peripheral rings. The numerical and experimental results were compared ...
Nano-inclusions are thermally conductive particles that improve the thermal conductivity of liquid mediums. In this paper, the thermal properties of Mg2Si were evaluated after the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles. An instrument measured the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid was the highest at lower temperatures, and did not improve with the addition of the ...
The Transient Plane Source Method is a helpful tool to test for the thermal conductivity of homogenous materials, however researchers at both the Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenberg University have created a process to test the thermal conductivities of inhomogeneous materials. For this experiment, a thermal analyzer was used to determine the thermal conductivities of four different sample materials (polymers and Pyrex glass) – each with different sizes and defects. ...
