MEASURING THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF NANOFLUIDS AND NANOLUBRICANTS USING THE THW TECHNIQUEOverview In applications such as heat transfer, thermal management, etc. nanofluids and nanolubricants aid in reducing friction while also improving functionality and efficiency. Dr. Sofia Mylona an internationally recognized expert in the area of thermal conductivity measurements using the Transient Hot-Wire method dives deeper into the subject of measuring the thermal conductivity of nanofluids and [...] |
HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS FOR TRANSIENT & STEADY STATE METHODSOverview When measuring homogeneous or heterogeneous materials, it is important to consider steady-state vs. transient testing methods and how this will influence the measurement of thermal conductivity. This webinar looks to further the conversation on this topic to explain why steady-state is the preferred method for heterogeneous materials: whereas transient methods result in a bias. [...] |
TESTING AT HIGH TEMPERATURE WITH THE GHFM-01Overview In this webinar, Dale Hume dives into testing materials at high temperatures with Thermtest’s new Guarded Heat Flow Meter-01. The advanced GHFM-01 is a primary measurement of thermal resistance—thermal conductivity for solids, such as metals, polymers, composites, and paste. Specifically, the calculation of thermal conductivity from the measurement of thermal resistance is the most [...]

CRYOGENIC TESTING USING THE TRANSIENT HOT-WIRE METHODOverview Cryogenic testing explores the behavior of materials at extremely low temperatures. When chemicals are exposed to ultra-cold temperatures the properties of those chemicals change. This provides an intriguing area of study for researchers. These studies have led to advances in gaining a better understanding of materials while also creating entirely new technologies and industries. [...]
