This paper presents the study on the mechanism of heat transport in multilayer solid body with the assumption that the heat transfer proceeds with the aid of thermal conductivity. It presents a test conducted with lock-in thermography on multilayer structure with implanted defect. The structure is made from materials of different thermal conductivity k. Different layers of tested structure desc...

In this work we investigate the thermal conductivity of graphene-based antidot lattices. A third nearest-neighbor tight-binding model and a forth nearest-neighbor force constant model are employed to study the electronic and phononic band structures of graphene-based antidot lattices. Ballistic transport models are used to evaluate the electronic and the thermal conductivities. Methods to reduc...

Nanofluids are becoming increasingly popular as heat transfer fluids in a variety of industrial applications, due to their enhanced heat transfer characteristics. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids is usually found to be much larger than that predicted from the classical models, such as the Maxwell model. The key mechanism of enhancement of thermal conductivity of dilute nanofluids is the s...

The microstructural analysis of Thermal Barrier Coatings, deposited according to the Air Plasma Spray technology, furnishes information according which a strong orthotropic thermal conductivity is expected to be measured for such a material. Pulsed experiment with a localized heating source and thermographic temperature recording, permit to evaluate both the in-depth and in-plane components of ...

A method for measuring K, the coefficient of thermal conductivity, for a variety of dog tissues is described. The values of K for muscle and liver are larger than that for water, the value of K for lung is smaller than that for water and the values of K for brain, plasma, and blood are about the same as that of water. The values found for K are given in a table.

new selective coating materials are developed and used in advanced solar collector and absorber designs with improved efficiency. cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles are high interest for absorbers of solar thermal collectors due to their optical properties and high absorptance in the solar wavelength range (> 96%). in the present work, cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles were synthes...

Mitigation of the global energy crisis requires tailoring the thermal conductivity of materials. Low thermal conductivity is critical in a broad range of energy conversion technologies, including thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings. Here, we review the chemical trends and explore the origins of low thermal conductivity in crystalline materials. A unifying feature in the latest material...

Thermal transport measurements in multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) bundles at elevated temperatures up to 830 K are reported using a novel generalized electrothermal technique. Compared with individual CNTs, the thermal conductivity (k) of MWCNT bundles is two to three orders of magnitude lower, suggesting the thermal transport in MWCNT bundles is dominated by the tube-to-tube thermal contact...

The present paper discusses the various effects of parameters like particle volume fraction, particle material, particle size, particle shape, particle material and base fluid, temperature, effect of acidity(PH) on thermal conductivity of nanofluids. And also discusses the different mechanisms of heat transfer enhancement like improvement in the thermal conductivity, effect of Brownian motion, ...

Samples of surimi were prepared in laboratory conditions from Adriatic pilchard (Sardina pilchardus). Water content in surimi was 81.5% before mixing with NaCl and κ-carrageenan, which were added in the range of mass fraction from 0 to 10%. Relative apparent specific enthalpy !, initial freezing point Ti, density ρ, and thermal conductivity k of surimi in the temperature range from -25 C to 10 ...
