Varying weight percentages of pineapple leaf fiber were added to phenolformaldehyde (PF) in order to generate a composite material. Using the transient plane source (TPS) technique, the thermal conductivities of the varying weight percentage composites were studied. It was found that increasing weight % pineapple leaf fiber resulted in decreasing thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the composites. The experimental results are compared to results produced by two models (the Rayleigh-Maxwell and ...
The TPS technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity of three different steel samples, which allowed the researchers to analyze the steel critically. Specifically look at was the dependence of thermal conductivity on temperature from room temperature up to 300°C. The obtained results were compared values obtained from other research groups....
The thermal properties of a series of treated and untreated oil palm fiber-reinforced composites were tested at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using the TPS method. Treatment of the composites with varying methods resulted in increases in thermal conductivity, porosity and pore sizes depending on the treatment method used. The dependence of thermal conductivity on temperature was also studied and it was found that the maximum thermal conductivity was at ...
This work introduces a direct method for measuring the specific heat of solids, using the Transient Plane Source Technique (TPS). To begin, a sample is placed into a thermally conductive holder, surrounded by a thermally insulating material. A thermally conductive sample holder is used, to limit the time it takes to achieve a temperature equilibrium between the holder and the sensor. Insulating the sample holder is to minimize heat loss ...
Presently, converting waste into reusable materials is a high priority among researchers. This study presents the idea of recycling the natural rubber (NR) from latex condom waste, for its use as a potential filler in styrene butadine rubber (SBR). To properly understand the SBR material ratio aspect, thermal behaviour monitoring, such as thermal conductivity measurements using the Transient Plane Source method, was performed. A linear increase in thermal conductivity of ...
