  2. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    Very high thermal conductivity measurements up to 22,600 w m −1 K −1 were reported by Fenton, E.W., Rogers, J.S. and Woods, S.D. in reference 570 on page 1458, 41, 2026–33, 1963. The data is listed on pages 6 through 8 and graphed on page 1 where Fenton and company are on curves 63 and 64.

  3. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Known as alpha alumina in materials science, and as alundum (in fused form) or aloxite [27] in mining and ceramic communities, aluminium oxide finds wide use. Annual global production of aluminium oxide in 2015 was approximately 115 million tonnes , over 90% of which was used in the manufacture of aluminium metal. [ 7 ]

  4. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat.It is commonly denoted by , , or and is measured in W·m −1 ·K −1.. Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in materials of low thermal conductivity than in materials of high thermal conductivity.

  5. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    The thermal contact conductance coefficient, , is a property indicating the thermal conductivity, or ability to conduct heat, between two bodies in contact. The inverse of this property is termed thermal contact resistance .

  6. Heat transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

    The thermal conductivity is a characteristic of the particular material. Values of thermal conductivities for various materials are listed in the list of thermal conductivities . As mentioned earlier in the article the convection heat transfer coefficient for each stream depends on the type of fluid, flow properties and temperature properties.

  7. Aluminium nitride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_nitride

    AlN has high thermal conductivity, high-quality MOCVD-grown AlN single crystal has an intrinsic thermal conductivity of 321 W/(m·K), consistent with a first-principle calculation. [5] For an electrically insulating ceramic, it is 70–210 W/(m·K) for polycrystalline material, and as high as 285 W/(m·K) for single crystals). [11]

  8. Thermal conductivity measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity...

    The heat generated dissipates into the sample on both sides of the sensor, at a rate depending on the thermal transport properties of the material. By recording temperature vs. time response in the sensor, the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of the material can be calculated.

  9. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]
