In this study we explore the material properties of carbonate salt eutectics that melt at high temperatures (exceeding 480 °C). These salt eutectics demonstrated anomalous enhancement in the specific heat capacity in both solid and liquid phases — when mixed with carious organic nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphite nanoparticles. Theses experimental measurements are compared with previous reports in the literature for exploring the effect of the synthesis protocol on the resulting thermo-physical properties of these nanomaterials. The enhancement of the thermo-physical properties on mixing with nanoparticles is of significant interest in reducing the cost of thermal energy storage (TES) devices and systems. TES can be utilized for levelizing peaks in cyclical energy demands (or duties) that is typical of renewable energy applications where the input energy source may be intermittent (e.g., solar thermal); as well as in geothermal and nuclear energy applications.

Thermo Physical Properties

This study examines the dynamic compression and thermo-physical properties of some woodparticles obtained from Akure, south local government area, Ondo State, South Western Nigeria. Thesewood particles are of the species of Celtis zenkeri and Celtis philippensis of the Ulmaceae family. Thesamples were possessed into different particle sizes (300, 600 and 850 µm) and subjected to variedcompacting pressures (2.6-3.0 MPa). The density and specific heat capacity of the wood samples weredetermined using weighing displacement methods and temperature dependent model while the thermaldiffusivity was estimated from other thermal properties. The results revealed significant variation in thevalues of the specific heat capacity as a result of change in pressure for all the wood samples considered.The density of wood samples lies between 4.51×102 -7.32×102 kg/m3 and the specific heat capacity valuesobtained for the samples fall within the range of 1.28×103-1.33×103 J/kg/K. It was also noted that thethermal diffusivity obtained falls within the range of 1.37×10-7-2.10×10-7 m2/s for the wood materialsconsidered. However, the values of the densities, specific heat capacities and thermal diffusivities of thesamples were found to change as the compacting pressure increased due to decreased in porosity. Theimplication of the study is that the mate

The results of studying the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of Zr-1 wt.% Nb and Ti-45 wt.% Nb in coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained states are presented. The influence of the utrafine-grained state on the thermo physical properties and the processes of dissipation and accumulation energy during deformation of the alloys are estimated. It is shown that formation of the ultrafine-grained state in the Zr-1 wt.% Nb alloy by abc -pressing and subsequent rolling leads to a decrease in its thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity by 10 and 20%, respectively, due to substructural hardening under severe plastic deformation. It is found that thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the ultrafine Ti-45 wt.% Nb alloy increase by 7.5 and 5%, respectively, due to dispersion hardening of the ω phase by nanoparticles and formation of a new α phase. It is established that the ultrafine-grained structure has a significant influence on the regularities of the dissipation and accumulation energy during plastic deformation, which in turn depend on their thermo-physical characteristics and on the structural and phase state.

Thermo Physical Properties

The pressure drop and thermal performance of various nanofluids can be affected by their thermo-physical properties. However, there are many different parameters that need to be considered when determining the thermo-physical properties of nanofluids. This paper highlights a detail reviews on the thermo-physical properties of nanofluids with different material type and effect of some process parameters (such as material type, temperature and concentration) on the thermo-physical properties of nanofluids. Four thermo-physical properties mainly density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity from different literatures were summarized, discussed and presented. The lowest viscosity value of nanofluids in literature was mango bark water-based nanofluid (0.81cP). On the other hand, the maximum thermal conductivity value of nanofluids in the literature was GNP-Ag water-based nanofluid (0.69W/mK). The density and specific heat capacity are strongly dependent on the material type. Meanwhile, the viscosity and thermal conductivity are greatly affected by temperature and concentration. The most influential parameters on thermo-physical properties of nanofluids are material type followed by temperature. Most of the literatures confirmed bio nanofluids have low viscosity value and hybrid have high thermal conductivity values.

The objective of the study is to determine the thermo physical property variations (such as viscosity, density, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity) of graphene suspended base fluid (Ethylene Glycol (EG) /Water (W)), with respect to graphene nanoparticle concentration and hot fluid inlet temperature. Graphene nanoparticle concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 volume %) and the base fluid of 30:70 volume % of EG: Water is prepared initially. The impact of graphene nano particle addition on base fluids based on experimentation in the commercial plate heat exchanger was studied. In this experiment, the hot fluid inlet temperature was varied at 55? C, 65? C and 75? C. The experimental results of thermo physical properties were compared with the selected models proposed in the literature. Einstein (1956); Kitano (1981); and Bachelor models (1977) have been used to consider the effect of viscosity. The measured density and Specific heat capacity was validated with Pak and Cho and Xuan model respectively. To consider the effect of thermal conductivity, three different models (Maxwell, 1954; Vajjah, 2010; and Sahoo, 2012) have been used. Study revealed that the thermo physical properties of base fluid significantly affects with the graphene nanoparticle suspension.

Parts of thermal physical properties of Al-Si8-Cu2-Mg alloy were studied. The curves were plotted showing the relationship between density, specific heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion and the variation of temperature for the first time with this alloy. The results show that the density was decreased when the temperature was raised, but the specific heat capacity and the coefficient of thermal expansion were first increased and then decreased. The solidus-liquidus temperatures, latent heat of fusion were studied, and the results show that the melting temperature range of this alloy was 507-596°C.
