PCM – Phase Change Material
A second heat reservoir is the simple increase in temperature without a phase change. For such applications, the specific heat capacity of the storage material and its density should be high.
Thermal contact resistance
The thermal contact resistance characterizes the transfer of heat at the interface between two solids.
3D printing in ceramics
Ceramics are used in many areas of industry. As a rule, ceramics are first formed as green bodies from raw mass before this “green body” is then treated in a special way and fired (so-called sintering).
3D Printing Polymers
Injection molding, often also referred to as injection molding or injection molding process, which is based on primary molding. The injection molding machine liquefies the plastic in granulate form.
Thermal insulation and thermal insulation materials – materials, practical knowledge, funding and future trends
Whenever objects with different temperatures are in physical contact or are in the area of radiant influences, heat exchange takes place.
Biomass: analysis, potential and industrial practice in the context of the energy transition
Biomass is one of the main pillars of the global energy transition and the development of sustainable materials. It comprises all organic matter of plant, animal or microbial origin that is present in a given ecosystem at a given time.
Analysis of thermoelectric materials – the figure of merit and its measurement
Thermoelectric materials can convert heat directly into electrical energy. This property is based on the Seebeck effect, in which a temperature difference applied to a material generates a voltage.
What does thermal conductivity mean?
In general, the thermal conductivity of the expression is the amount of heat that flows through a 1x1x1m cube of a material within 1 second if there is a temperature gradient of exactly 1 K between two opposite sides.
3D printing with metals – Thermal analyses
Metals are used almost everywhere in many industrial sectors for a wide variety of purposes.
Raman spectroscopy with DSC
Raman spectroscopy is a technique for investigating molecules and determining their structure and dynamics.
