This article studied the potential thermal conductivity deviation of anisotropic materials using a numerical simulation. Anisotropic thermal conductivity may experience deviation due to its noncompliance of the theoretical assumption of the transient plane source (TPS) method. The TPS method was used to measure the in-plane ...
This study aimed to determine how reliable the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method is when testing semi-transparent materials that have varying extinction coefficients at different temperatures. A numerical experiment has been designed that copies the experimental process and tests the accuracy of the thermal conductivity ...
The effective thermal conductivity of a commercial silica aerogel is determined at various gas pressures ranging from 0.001 Pa to 1 MPa in order to determine the contribution of gaseous heat conduction to the effective thermal conductivity of nano-porous materials. It was determined that the gas pressure ...
Currently, there is no research into the accuracy of the transient plane source (TPS) method for measuring the thermal conductivity of thin films. The purpose of this study is to use numerical simulation to determine the accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements of thin films, with ...
Proton exchange membranes (PEM) are important components of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) which could potentially substitute fossil energy. The purpose of this study was to theoretically and experimentally study how the thermal conductivity of the PEM, Nafion 117, is related to water content and ...
