Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
For the prediction of thermal conductivity using theoretical models of a composite or mixture of components, the thermal conductivities of the individual components must be known. In this study, the needle probe method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of a mixture of powder and fluid, and using the law of mixtures (Hashin-Shtrikman bounds) the thermal conductivity of the solid phase is estimated. A much simpler method exists though ...
