A new design was presented of a portable transient hot wire apparatus for measuring the thermal conductivity of solids. The design features a two-wire sensor with silicon layers, compact printed electronic board and a high-tech software suite that utilizes the Finite Elements Method to model heat flow. This methodology is 120x's faster than any previous approach and can reduce the number of ...
An investigation on the enhancement of the thermal conductivity of water with the addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, (C-MWNT). C-MWNT occupied 0.6% of the volume in the test sample for every test repetition. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as a dispersant. The measurement device was a transient hot wire, which was constructed for this purpose. The highest these procedures could raise the ...
