Thermal Conductivity at High Temperatures

Thermal conductivity of Xe clathrate hydrate at low temperatures

The effective thermal conductivity of the powder samples of xenon hydrate was measured in the interval 2–170 K using the steady-state method. The thermal conductivity of the homogeneous Xe clathrate hydrate was estimated from the effective thermal conductivity using an empirical expression. The applicability of the formula was checked by comparing two powder samples with different grain size an...

Thermal Degradation of Polymers at High Temperatures

Work on thermal ~egradation of poly mers has prev iously been carried out aL lempC'mt ures up to about 500 G. In the present work the range has been extend cd to 850 0 C. Polystyrene was pyrolyzed in a vacuum and also in helium at atmos pheric pressure at 3620 and at 850 0 C. Analysis of t he volatile products indicates that higher temperatures a nd hi~her. pressures cause a greater fragmen tat...

Thermal Conductivity of Saturated Liquid Toluene by Use of Anodized Tantalum Hot Wires at High Temperatures

Absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of a distilled and dried sample of toluene near saturation are reported. The transient hot-wire technique with an anodized tantalum hot wire was used. The thermal conductivities were measured at temperatures from 300 K to 550 K at different applied power levels to assess the uncertainty with which it is possible to measure liquid thermal conduct...

Thermal behavior of ethylene/1-octene copolymer fractions at high temperatures: Effect of hexyl branch content

In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (P-TREF) method. The P-TREF fractions were therma...
