Thermal conductivity of superconducting MgB 2 was studied in both the superconducting and the normal state region. The latter is almost equally determined by the electronic-and the lattice contribution to the total thermal conductivity. In the superconducting state, however, the lattice contribution is larger. The electronic thermal conductivity below T c was derived from the experimental data ...

In an age of increasing heat fluxes and power loads in applications as diverse as power electronics, renewable energy, transportation, and medical equipment, liquid cooling systems are necessary to enhance heat dissipation, improve energy efficiency, and lengthen device lifetime. To satisfy these increasing thermal management needs, the heat transfer efficiency of conventional fluids must be im...

Salts in the liquid phase at room temperature–ionic liquids– have recently received increased attention due to their unique properties.[1] These include high ionic conductivity, high thermal and chemical stability, broad electrochemical windows, non-volatility and non-flammability. These important properties make them versatile alternatives to conventional solvent-based systems, and their poten...

in this study, a model for estimating the nfs thermal conductivity by using a gmdh-pnn has been investigated. nfs thermal conductivity was modeled as a function of the nanoparticle size, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and the thermal conductivity of the base fluid and nanoparticles. for this purpose, the developed network contains 8 layers with 2 inputs in each layer and also trainin...

Statistical methods, and especially machine learning, have been increasingly used in nanofluid modeling. This paper presents some of the interesting and applicable methods for thermal conductivity prediction and compares them with each other according to results and errors that are defined. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases with the volume fraction and temperature. Machine learni...

Experimental study of effective thermal conductivity of ZnO/EG nanofluid is presented in thisresearch. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing Zno nanoparticles in ethylene glycol using asonicator and adding surfactant. Ethylene glycol based nanofluid containing ZnO nanoparticlewith a nominal diameter of 18 nm at different solid volume fractions (very low to high) atvarious temperatures was ex...
