Tailoring the thermal conductivity of polymers is central to enlarge their applications in the thermal management of flexible integrated circuits. Progress has been made over the past decade by fabricating materials with various nanostructures, but a clear relationship between various functional groups and thermal properties of polymers remains to be established. Here, we numerically study the ...

The thermal conductivity of mantle materials has two components, the lattice component klat from phonons and the radiative component krad due to photons. These two contributions of variable thermal conductivity have a nonlinear dependence in the temperature, thus endowing the temperature equation in mantle convection with a strongly nonlinear character. The temperature derivatives of these two ...

Thermal conductivity of superconducting MgB 2 was studied in both the superconducting and the normal state region. The latter is almost equally determined by the electronic-and the lattice contribution to the total thermal conductivity. In the superconducting state, however, the lattice contribution is larger. The electronic thermal conductivity below T c was derived from the experimental data ...

The thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity per unit volume of dunite rocks taken from Chillas near Gilgit, Pakistan have been measured simultaneously using transient plane source technique. The temperature dependence of thermal transport properties is studied in the temperature range 83-303 K. Different relations for the estimation of thermal conductivity are also tested. T...

in this paper, wavelet collocation method has been used to solve nonlinear fin problem with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. thermal conductivity of fin materials varies any type so that we consider thermal conductivity as the general function of temperature.  here we consider three particular cases, where we assume that thermal conductivity is constant,...

A correlation is developed to predict thermal conductivity of drill cores from the L o s Azufres geothermal field. Only andesites are included as they are predominant. Thermal conductivity of geothermal rocks is in general scarce and its determination is not simple. Almost all published correlations were developed for sedimentary rocks. Typically, for igneous rocks, chemical or mineral analyses...

The Thermal Diffusion Probe 200 (TDP200) is a thermal properties characterization device that is capable of measuring the thermal conductivity of phantom materials with less than 0.2% variability. However, this device gives 1.5% to 2% variability in thermal conductivity values when the medium being measured is human skin tissue. Six different sources of variability have been identified that mig...

This investigation is undertaken to study the heat and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical plate with variable thermal conductivity. The governing equations for the model are formulated with appropriate boundary conditions. The equations are simplified, non-dimensionalized and then solved numerically with the aid of MAPLE package. The flow phenomenon are characterized by the flow param...
