This article discussed the creation of phase change composite materials using molten binary salts and expanded graphite (EG). Three different salts were used, LiNO3–KCl, LiNO3–NaNO3 and LiNO3–NaCl. The amount of salt in the composites varied between 77.8% and 81.5%. The thermal conductivity of the products was assessed to determine how it was affected by the addition of expanded graphite. The researchers determined that they had increased the thermal conductivity ...
The thermal conductivity of nanoporous glass alumina films (NGAFs) were theoretically and experimentally studied in this paper. The thermal conductivity of pristine NGAFs and silver nanowire-infused NGAFs of various pore sizes and porosities were measured with a thermal constants analyser based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Theoretical and experimental results were consistent with one another, and indicated that the pore radius and porosity of the films influenced thermal ...
