نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes an in house made experimental set-up that measures the thermal conductivity of liquids. The measurement principle is based on the Transient Hot Wire Method. The theoretical bases of the measurement method are firstly presented, and then our original experimental implementation is described. The hardware as well as the software design reveals the simple configuration of the measurement set-up that contains high performance inexpensive components. It is also simple to use and well suited for research laboratories, data being stored either in text, or in graphical files. Finally, based on experimental results, the measurement accuracy and sensibility performances are discussed and compared with other instruments in literature.

Role of Interatomic Potentials in Simulation of Thermal Transport in Carbon Nanotubes
Interatomic potentials, which describe interactions between elements of nanosystems, are crucial in theoretical study of their physical properties. We focus on two well known empirical potentials, i.e. Tersoff's and Brenner's potentials, and compare their performance in calculation of thermal transport in carbon nanotubes. In this way, we study the temperature and diameter dependence of thermal...

The abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. A functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. The objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...
