Experimental analyses are performed to determine thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric specific heat with transient plane source method on hollow sphere structures. Single-sided testing is used on different samples and different surfaces. Results dependency on the surface is observed.

Metal hydrides are promising hydrogen storage materials with potential for practical use in a passenger car. To be a viable hydrogen storage option, metal hydride heat transfer behavior must be well understood and accounted for. As such, the thermal properties of the metal hydride are measured and compiled to assess this behavior. These properties include thermal conductivity, specific heat, and thermal diffusivity. The transient plane source (TPS) method was selected primarily due to a high level of versatility, including customization for high pressure hydrogen environments. To perform this measurement, a TPS 2500 S thermal property analyzer by the Hot Disk Company was employed. To understand the measurement and analysis process of the TPS method, two different sample materials were evaluated at ambient conditions. These samples included a stainless steel pellet and an inactivated (non-pyrophoric) metal hydride pellet. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of these samples were measured using the TPS method. The thermal property measurements are compared to the data available in the literature (stainless steel) and the data obtained using laser flash method (metal hydride). The improvements needed to successfully implement the TPS method are discussed in detail.

Abstract Hot disk metrology represents a transient plane source measurement technique for characterizing thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of a wide range of materials. In this technique, the hot disk sensor serves as a heat source and a thermometer. During the measurement, the sensor is sandwiched between two halves of a sample and a constant current is supplied to the sensor. The temperature increase at the sensor surface is strongly dependent on the thermal transport properties of the surrounding material. By monitoring the temperature increase as a function of time, one can determine the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the surrounding material. The main advantages of the hot disk technique include: wide thermal conductivity range, from 0.005 W/m·K to 500 W/m·K; wide range of materials, from liquid to solid; easy sample preparation; non-destructive; and more importantly, high accuracy (within 2% or better). In this paper, the basic theory of the hot disk technique will be discussed based on first principles. This technique has been successfully used to characterize a variety of thermal interface materials (TIMs) used in electronic packaging. The experimental results are in good agreement with the results obtained by another method.

Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of blended clays have been studied with special reference to Ukrainian clay. The blends were made of three different clays available locally in western part of Rajasthan. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were determined using the transient plane source (TPS) technique at room temperature and normal pressure. It was found that thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the blends reported maximum at temperature 1200° C and near in the values of Ukrainian clay. The thermal conductivity of blend B2 reported maximum value (1.29 W/m-k) in the present study.

The first measurement of thermal transport properties on the polycrystalline D-Er2Si2O7have been made in the temperature range 77-300K. Both the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity follow modified Euckens law in this temperature region. The Transient Plane Source technique (TPS) has been used to measure thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity simultaneously.
