The thermal conductivities of gas hydrates are well documented, but the thermal conductivities of structure H (sH) methane-methylcyclohexane (MCH) hydrate and type A tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) semi clathrate hydrate have no experimental data. The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal conductivities of sH MCH hydrate and TBAB semi clathrate hydrate. The thermal conductivity was measured using a single sided transient plane source (TPS) method. Most gas hydrates ...
The authors prepared a series of carbon nanotube (CNT) nanorefrigerants with varying size and amount of nanotubes to determine how these properties affect thermal conductivity. A TPS Instrument was used to measure thermal conductivity of the nanorefrigerants; R113 was used as a host nanorefrigerant. It was determined that higher concentrations of smaller diameter CNTs results in higher nanofrigerant thermal conductivity. A few theoretical models were also used to compare to ...
Describes how second-order terms are important to the hot-strip method, and should be included in situations where a high-current pulse is being used. The authors determined approximate values for the coefficients of second-order terms....
