Measurement of the specific heat capacity of liver phantom.

Phantoms are often used to simulate tissue during the development, testing and calibration of medical devices. In order to infer the specific absorption rate (SAR) and resistive heating in phantoms from temperature measurements, the specific heat capacity and density of the phantom are needed. Stauffer et al (2003 Int. J. Hyperth. 19 89-101) developed several phantoms that mimic dielectric prop...

Effects of silica nanoparticles on enhancing the specific heat capacity of carbonate salt eutectic (work in progress)

Nanomaterials were obtained by dispersing silica nanoparticles in eutectic salt mixtures. The synthesis protocol was varied to obtain different nanomaterial samples of the same composition but different morphologies. The synthesis protocols that led to agglomerated nanoparticles resulted in coarse powders (Type-A samples) and the protocols that led to (un-agglomerated) well dispersed nanopartic...

Heat capacity at the glass transition

A fundamental problem of glass transition is to provide a quantitative and microscopic explanation of the heat-capacity jump at the glass transition temperature Tg . Similar problems are also common to other disordered systems, including spin glasses. We propose that the jump of heat capacity at Tg takes place as a result of the change of the liquid’s elastic, vibrational, and thermal propertie...
