information on the thermophysical properties of the iranian ultrafiltrated (uf) white cheese is very limited. in this research, those thermal properties determined experimentally were thermal conductivity, specific heat, density and water activity. the thermal conductivity and specific heat of iranian ultrafiltrated white cheese (iufwc) ranged from 0.447 to 0.480 w m-1 °c-1 and from 3.871 to 4....

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 ...

From three-dimensional linearized hydrodynamic equations, it is found that the heat conductivity is proportional to (Lx/(L 2 yL 2 z)) , where Lx, Ly and Lz are the lengths of the system along the x, y and z directions, and we consider the case in which Lx ≫ Ly, Lz. The necessary condition for such a size dependence is derived as φ ≡ Lx/(n L 5/4 y L 5/4 z ) ≫ 1, where φ is the critical condition...

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...

Accurate information on the temperature field and associated heat transfer rates are particularly important in devising appropriate heat and water anagement strategies in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. An important parameter in fuel cell performance analysis is the effective hermal conductivity of the gas diffusion layer (GDL). Estimation of the effective thermal conductivity is com...

Naturally occurring gas hydrates are regarded as an important future source of energy and considerable efforts are currently being invested to develop methods for an economically viable recovery of this resource. The recovery of natural gas from gas hydrate deposits has been studied by a number of researchers. Depressurization of the reservoir is seen as a favorable method because of its relati...

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...
