Metallographic analysis and thermal conductivity analysis of series of light aluminum alloys with silicon content from 0 to 12 % (by weight) and additionally alloyed with iron 1 % (by weight) were carried out. It is shown that with an increase in the silicon content in the alloy above 4–6 % (by weight), the size of silicon crystals increases significantly with a simultaneous increase in the values of thermal conductivity. The article assesses the effect of iron on thermophysical properties and shows the correlation of thermal conductivity at different temperatures with the morphology of silicon in alloys with silicon content from 0 to 12 % (by weight) and additionally alloyed with iron 1 % (by weight). It is shown that alloy with a silicon content of 4 % by weight has a balanced reserve of thermophysical properties due to the structural features of the morphology of the components.

This study aims to provide a thermophysical characterization of a new economical and green mortar. This material is characterized by partially replacing the cement with recycled soda lime glass. The cement was partially substituted (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60% in weight) by glass powder with a water/cement ratio of 0.4. The glass powder and four of the seven samples were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermophysical properties, such as thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat, were experimentally measured in both dry and wet (water saturated) states. These properties were determined as a function of the glass powder percentage by using a CT-Meter at different temperatures (20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C) in a temperature-controlled box. The results show that the thermophysical parameters decreased linearly when 60% glass powder was added to cement mortar: 37% for thermal conductivity, 18% for volumetric specific heat and 22% for thermal diffusivity. The density of the mortar also decreased by about 11% in dry state and 5% in wet state. The use of waste glass powder as a cement replacement affects the thermophysical properties of cement mortar due to its porosity as compared with the control mortar. The results indicate that thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat increases with temperature increase and/or the substitution rate decrease. Therefore, the addition of waste glass powder can significantly affect the thermophysical properties of ordinary cement mortar.

The objective of this work is the enhancement of metal-to-metal bonding to provide high thermal conductivity together with electrical insulation, to be used as heat sinks at room and cryogenic temperatures. High thermal conductive metal (copper) and epoxy resin (Stycast 2850FT) were used in this study, with the latter also providing the required electrical insulation. The copper surface was irradiated with laser to induce micro- and nano-patterned structures that result in an improvement of the adhesion between the epoxy and the copper. Thus, copper-to-copper bonding strength was characterized by means of mechanical tensile shear tests. The effect of the laser processing on the thermal conductivity properties of the Cu/epoxy/Cu joint at different temperatures, from 10 to 300 K, is also reported. Using adequate laser parameters, it is possible to obtain high bonding strength values limited by cohesive epoxy fracture, together with good thermal conductivity at ambient and cryogenic temperatures.

The influence of moisture content on substrate thermal conductivity at different temperatures was investigated for four different commercially available substrates for green roofs. In the unfrozen state, as moisture content increased, thermal conductivity increased linearly. In the phase transition zone between +5 and −10 °C, as temperature decreased, thermal conductivity increased sharply during the transition from water to ice. When the substrate was frozen, thermal conductivity varied exponentially with substrate moisture content prior to freezing. Power functions were found between thermal conductivity and temperature. Two equally sized, green roof test cells were constructed and tested to compare various roof configurations including a bare roof, varying media thickness for a green roof, and vegetation. The results show that compared with the bare roof, there is a 75% reduction in the interior temperature’s amplitude for the green roof with 150 mm thick substrate. When a sedum mat was added, there was a 20% reduction in the amplitude of the inner temperature as compared with the cell without a sedum mat.

When designing advanced samples of aviation and rocket and space technology, during the operation of which the temperature on the surface of the material can exceed the temperature of destruction, it is important to have an understanding of the values of thermophysical properties. The work investigates the thermophysical properties of fiberglass in the initial state and after the binder is burned out in a muffle furnace. The temperature dependences of thermal effects, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity were determined, density was measured, and thermogravimetric analysis was carried out. Using a stereomicroscope, the microstructure of the lateral cut of the samples was examined and its evolution was determined during the burning of the binder.

A new model to predict the structure evolution of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is proposed based on the dislocation density in this research. Hot compression of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is carried out on Gleeble 1500 at different temperatures from 1233 K to 1473 K with a strain rate of 0.01 s-1 and the deformed samples are immediately quenched by water to frozen the austenite structure. The recrystallization kinetics model of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is successfully established by inverse analysis of the flow curve based on the relation between flow stress and dislocation density. In order to validate the proposed model, comparison between the predicted values and experimental values obtained by metallographic analysis is implemented. It is shown that the predicted results agree with the experimental results well.

Transient hot wire method is considered a reliable and precise technique for measuring the thermal conductivity of liquids. The present paper describes a new transient hot wire experimental set-up and its initial testing. The new apparatus was tested by performing thermal conductivity measurements on substances whose reference thermophysical properties data existed in literature, namely on pure toluene and double distilled deionized water. The values of thermal conductivity measured in the temperature range 25 to 45 ?C deviated +2.2% to +3% from the literature data, while the expanded measurement uncertainty was estimated to be ?4%.

Abstract An original approach to the theoretical calculations of the heat conductivity of crystals based on the first principles molecular dynamics has been proposed. The proposed approach exploits the kinetic theory of phonon heat conductivity and permits calculating several material properties at certain temperature: specific heat, elastic constant, acoustic velocity, mean phonon scattering time and coefficient of thermal conductivity. The method has been applied to silicon and phosphorus doped silicon crystals and the obtained results have been found to be in satisfactory agreement with corresponding experimental data. The proposed computation technique may be applied to the calculations of heat conductivity of pure and doped semiconductors and isolators.
