cu2o nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of schiff base copper (ii) complex (1) as precursor. liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. the nano structure of the complex was characterized by x-ray diffraction measurement...

Q : dimensionless heat loss from the fin, q/(klw f φ ) Abstract Rt: dimensionless thermal resistance A reversed trapezoidal fin with fluid in the inside wall is analyzed using a two-dimensional analytical method. Thermal resistance for the reversed trapezoidal fin is presented as a function of the fin length and fin base height. The relationship between the inside fluid convection characteristi...

The heat capacity of supercooled water, measured down to -37°C, shows an anomalous increase as temperature decreases. The thermal diffusivity, i.e., the ratio of the thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volume, shows a decrease. These anomalies may be associated with a hypothesized liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water below the line of homogeneous nucleation. However...

The theory of thermal explosion specifies the conditions for a "runaway" temperature rise in systems undergoing exothermic reaction or decomposition. It provides a means for predicting the probable behaviour of such systems in practice, even though they may depart appreciably from the ideal, and it can guide the choice both of experimental methods for hazard assessment and of measures for avoid...

Using a novel many-body approach, we report lattice dynamical properties of UO2 and PuO2 and uncover various contributions to their thermal conductivities. Via calculated Grüneisen constants, we show that only longitudinal acoustic modes having large phonon group velocities are efficient heat carriers. Despite the fact that some optical modes also show their velocities which are extremely large...

We obtain numerically the thermal conductivity of a quasi-one-dimensional classical chain of hard sphere particles as a function of the length of the chain, introducing a fresh model for this problem. The conductivity scales as a power law of the length over two decades, with an exponent very close to the analytical prediction of 1/3.

Infrared and ultraviolet observations of nova light curves have confirmed grain formation in their expanding shells that are ejected into the interstellar medium by a thermonuclear runaway. In this paper, we present isotopic ratios

Improvements in thermoelectric material performance over the past two decades have largely been based on decreasing the phonon thermal conductivity. Enhancing the power factor has been less successful in comparison. In this work, a peak power factor of ∼106 μW⋅cm-1⋅K-2 is achieved by increasing the hot pressing temperature up to 1,373 K in the p-type half-Heusler Nb0.95Ti0.05FeSb. The high powe...

I Lead and directly contribute to research currently focused on analysis of convection in the presence of apparent slip and thermal management of electronics.

The thermal conductivity is calculated with the Helfand-moment method in the Lennard-Jones fluid near the triple point. The Helfand moment of thermal conductivity is here derived for molecular dynamics with periodic boundary conditions. Thermal conductivity is given by a generalized Einstein relation with this Helfand moment. The authors compute thermal conductivity by this new method and compa...
