<p>One of the important subsidiary materials of livestock units is excreta. The livestock waste (including the combination of the Cattle Manure and products case in the bed) as a valuable source of the minerals (Nitrogen 1.78 % , phosphor us 0.5% and potassium 0.99%).For the transportation of the cattle manure in the natural state is difficult and costly due to being low the special mass and the nature of mass. It is produced around 6 million thons the cattle manure yearly in Iran which it is usually filled in the place according to the lack of organic materials of the soils country, the use of the cattle manure causes increasing the productivity of crops. We usually need to some of the mechanical and thermal properties of the cattle manure for producing the pellet by Extruder, so we Survey some of the mechanical and thermal properties of the cattle manure pellet in this research such as the shear stress and the coefficient of thermal diffusivity cattle manure. We obtain the coefficient of the thermal diffusivity manure (</p>

Lateral heat diffusion thermoreflectance is a very powerful tool for determining directly the thermal diffusivity of layered structures. To do that, experimental data are fitted with the help of a heat diffusion model in which the ratio between the thermal conductivity k and the thermal diffusivity D of each layer is fixed, and the thermal properties of the substrate are known. We have shown in a previous work that it is possible to determine independently the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity of a metallic layer deposited on an insulator, by taking into consideration all the data obtained at different modulation frequencies. Moreover, it is well known that to prevent a lack of adhesion of a gold film deposited on substrates like silica, an intermediate very thin (Cr or Ti) layer is deposited to assure a good thermal contact. We extend our previous work: the asymptotic behaviour determination of the surface temperature wave at large distances from the modulated point heat source for one layer deposited on the substrate to the two layers model. In this case (very thin adhesion coating whose thermal properties and thickness are known), it can be establish that the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity of the top layer can still be determined independently. It is interesting to underline that the calculus can also be extended to the case of a thermal contact resistance which has often to be taken into account between two solids. We call thermal resistance a very thin layer exhibiting a very low thermal conductivity. In this case, the three parameters we have to determine are the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity of the layer and the thermal resistance. We will show that, in this case, the thermal conductivity of the layer is always obtained independently of a bound of the couple thermal resistance – thermal diffusivity, the thermal diffusivity being under bounded and the thermal resistance lower bounded. Experimental results on thin gold layers deposited on silica with and without adhesion layers are presented to illustrate the method. Discussions on the accuracy will also be presented.

AbstractInformation on the thermal properties of materials is very important both in fundamental physical research and in engineering applications. The development of materials with desirable heat transport properties requires methods for their experimental determination. In this paper basic concepts of the measurement of parameters describing the heat transport in solids are discussed. Attention is paid to methods utilizing nonstationary temperature fields, especially to photothermal methods in which the temperature disturbance in the investigated sample is generated through light absorption. Exemplary photothermal measuring techniques, which can be realized using common experimental equipment, are described in detail. It is shown that using these techniques it is possible to determine the thermal diffusivity of bulk transparent samples, opaque and semi-transparent plate-form samples, and the thermal conductivity of thin films deposited on thick substrates. Results of the investigation of thermal diffusivity of the ground in the polar region, which is based on the analysis of the propagation of the thermal wave generated by sun-light, are also presented. Based on chosen examples one can state that photothermal techniques can be used for determination of the thermal properties of very different materials.

This extended abstract presents a ground-breaking study of thermal properties of soils and their dependency on saturation. The paper tries to prove that thermal diffusivity is not significantly dependent on saturation due to its close relationship with saturation-independent parameters such as thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity. The investigation is divided into two main scopes of work: the first is to build statistical analysis using the Monte Carlo technique by means of random sampling certain soil thermal properties; and the second is to experimentally validate the statistical models. The experimental framework of the study encompasses the measurement of thermal properties of different soil samples. These samples varied in terms of grain size, percentage clay content, and level of saturation. The experiments were carried out using a KD2-Pro Dual Needle Probe Thermal Properties Analyser. The results demonstrate that saturation has a negligible effect on thermal diffusivity of soils but an inverse relationship exists between diffusivity and clay content. Furthermore, the variation in grain size effect on diffusivity is within 5%. The study shows a correlation between lithology, porosity, and thermal properties. The implications are numerous: from the determination of unwanted heat diffusion of pipelines to the estimation of reservoir properties such as porosity and permeability.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of binder effect on tribological behavior of brake friction composite materials: a case study of phenolic resin modified by N-Methylaniline. Design/methodology/approach Four different friction materials have been fabricated by varying modified phenolic resin content. The samples were prepared by the conventional powder metallurgy methods following ball milling, mixing, pre-forming, hot pressing and post-curing processes. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to determination of the degradation mechanism of organic components and study of thermal stability of the samples. A friction test was carried out in dry conditions using a vertical tribometer. Analysis of worn surfaces was performed using a scanning electron microscope. Findings The experimental results revealed that the sample containing 25 Wt.% phenolic resin has good mechanical and thermal properties with stable friction characteristics. Originality/value This paper presents the effect of N-methylaniline modified phenolic resin on friction composites to improve tribological performance by its thermal properties.

Properties Of Composites

Structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) filled with Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals particles were studied. It was shown that the introducing of quasicrystalline fillers into the polymer matrix results in the increase in Young’s modulus, hardness, and toughness of the polymer. Quasicrystalline fillers can improve thermal properties of PPS, including heat resistance index, Vicat softening temperature, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity.

Power Response

An improved technique is presented for the “in-vivo” determination of thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and perfusion using a self-heated spherical thermistor probe. In the presence of flow, solution of the time-dependent, probe-tissue coupled thermal model allows the measurement of “effective” thermal conductivity and “effective” thermal diffusivity, which represent the thermal properties of the perfused tissue. Perfusion can be quantified from both “effective” thermal properties. In the presence of flow, it has been shown that the transient power response does not follow t−1/2 as has been previously assumed. An isolated rat liver preparation has been developed to validate the measurement technique. Radioactive microspheres are used to determine the true perfusion from the total collected hepatic vein flow. Experimental data demonstrates the ability to quantify perfusion in small volumes of tissue.
