Characterization simultaneous thermal analyzer

In the pure convection problem, heat transfer through the wall is characterized by an appropriate thermal boundary condition directly or indirectly specified at the wall-fluid interface. In a pure convection problem, the solution of the temperature problem for the solid wall is not needed the velocity and temperature are determined only in the fluid region. However, the heat transfer through the sohd walls of the microchannel by conduction may have significant normal and/or peripheral as well as axial components, or the wall may be of ncmuniform thickness. In these cases the temperature problem for the solid wall needs to be analyzed simultaneously with that for the fluid in order to calculate the real wall-fluid interface heat flux distribution. In this case the wall-fluid heat transfer is referred to as conjugate heat tranter. 

The thermal stability of PANI nanofibers (both CM and ES methods) and the standard samples were characterized using TA Instruments simultaneous DSC and TGA (SDT-Q600) tool. A pre-weighed sample was loaded into the ceramic pan and covered with the ceramic lid inside the glove box to prevent moisture from getting into the sample during transfer. The ramp rate of 5 °C/min was used for all the measurements. TA s Universal Analysis 2000 software program was used to analyze the TGA and DSC profiles.
