... 07 04 2009 This work presents the thermal property study of single wall and multi wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT and MWCNT) both in their purified and unpurified forms introduced to silicone elastomer to enhance the thermal diffusivity of this industrial polymer. An increase in thermal...

... 03 04 2009 The laser flash method for thermal diffusivity measurement is a standard method for opaque solid materials. It can also be used to measure liquid in a specially designed cell. The theoretical basis for the method is established based on pulse heating of one side of a thin...

... with time. Two different situations are considered (I) when thermal diffusivity is independent of temperature and (II) when thermal diffusivity varies linearly with temperature. The differential equation governing the process is converted to initial value problem of vector matrix form. The time function...

... the phase shift method are presented in this paper. The measurements can be performed at any radial direction on a sample’s surface. This technique appears to be a successful method for measuring the variation of surface thermal diffusivity of various materials. An automated platform has also been developed...

... 18 12 2008 This study further develops the standard laser flash method for the measurement of multiple thermal properties of semiconductor melts. The standard laser flash method is widely used to measure thermal diffusivity of solids. Our modified procedure allows thermal diffusivity...
