This paper presents measurements of the thermal conductivity of paraffins mixtured with zeolites of the type 5A and 13X. Because of their high enthalpy change at the phase transition paraffins are able to store more thermal energy at nearly isothermal conditions than sensible heat materials. The poor thermal conductivity of paraffins is a disadvantage, however. The zeolite provides a structure ...

Mesoporous transition metal nitrides are interesting materials for energy conversion and storage applications due to their conductivity and durability. We present ordered mixed titanium-niobium (8:2, 1:1) nitrides with gyroidal network structures synthesized from triblock terpolymer structure-directed mixed oxides. The materials retain both macroscopic integrity and mesoscale ordering despite h...

For high end heat exchanging applications in cryogenics and space application, compactness and effectiveness are the key factors which determine the performance of heat exchanger. Matrix heat exchanger with perforated plate heat surfaces has both criterions to suit into these applications. High thermal conductivity plate and low thermal conductivity spacers are stacked together to obtain low lo...

in this article cuo/water nanofluid was synthesized by using polyvinylpyrolidone (pvp) as the dispersant.  thenanofluid stability period and the heat transfer enhancement were determinedby measuring the thermal conductivities. to study the nano-fluid stability, zeta (ζ) potential, and absorbency were measured under different ph values and pvp surfactant concentrations; also thermal conductivity...

the output of x-ray, especially in the field of required energy for diagnosing the disease is very low (in diagnosing lamps, it is less than 1%). in this kind of lamps the rest of the electrical energy is transformed to heat. this considerable amount of heat induces a myriad of too many limitations in choosing higher levels of radiation, particularly in specialized techniques. this process is t...

ethylammonium propionate with high polarity and ionic conductivity was synthesized andcharacterized with 1hnmr and ir. this ionic liquid which is prepared from readily available startingmaterial in high yield shows reasonably high at viscosity and heat stability up to 150 °c. this ionicliquid is able to dissolve most of organic solvents due to the hydrogen interaction between ionicliquid and th...

In this the second part of a theoretical study of the thermal properties of crystalline-SiC, the thermal conductivity is calculated by using molecular dynamics simulation to evaluate directly the heat current correlation function and thus obtain the conductivity through the Green-Kubo expression in linear response theory. Adopting the same empirical potential model and the temperature scaling m...
