Heat and electricity conduction

Copper and Alloys Copper and its alloys are widely used in chemical processing, particulany when heat and electrical conductivity are important fac tors. The thermal conductivity of copper is twice that of aluminum and 90 percent that of silver. A large number of cop-... 

The atomic structure of a heterogeneous catalyst determines its chemical and phase properties, but texture determines a wide range of additional features that dictate such characteristics as adsorption and capillarity, permeability, mechanical strength, heat and electrical conductivity, etc. For example, the apparent catalytic activity,. of a grain, taking into account diffusion of reagents, depends on the interrelation between the rates of reaction and diffusion, and the latter is determined by a porous structure. 

In 2009, Lems [7] has proposed a new fundamental thermodynamic principle that leads to a universal and strictly thermodynamic relationship between flows and forces. This relationship applies to chemical reactions, diffusion, electrical conduction, and heat conduction, is nonlinear but shows linear behavior close to the equilibrium state. The linear approximation is usually well justified for diffusion, and heat and electrical conduction. 

This analogy, as Buckingham pointed out, is only formal. In the flow of heat and electricity, conductivity is a constant quantity. In capillary theory, however, X will vary with distance and time. The capillary... 

In a nonisothermal system, an electric current (flow) may be coupled with a heat flow this effect is known as the thermoelectric effect. There are two reciprocal phenomena of thermoelectricity arising from the interference of heat and electric conductions the first is called the Peltier effect. This effect is known as the evolution or the absorption of heat at junctions of metals resulting from the flow of an electric current. The other is the thermoelectric force resulting from the maintenance of the junctions made of two different metals at different temperatures. This is called the Seebeck effect. Temperature measurements by thermocouples are based on the Seebeck effect.

Like metals and also due to its electrical conductivity, G is a material that also has a high heat transmission capacity. In addition, one of the properties of G directly related to the interplay between heat and electrical conductivity is its high Seebeck coefficient that measures of efficiency to generate voltage when the material is submitted to heating on one side as consequence of the temperature gradient between the two faces. 

When particles are bigger than 1 pm and their volume increases, for example exceeding 15%, then both the matrix and the particles share the load-bearing function in appreciable proportions and the materials obtained may be considered as belonging rather to the second group of above proposed classification. These composites maintain several properties from the matrix as their continuous phase its ductility and toughness, heat and electric conductivity, etc. 

Tantalum has excellent heat and electrical conductivities and as such is significant in the production of very small capacitors for mobile phones and satellite navigation devices.

Heat capacities of a new porous carbon material called "Woodceramics" were investigated by means of DSC. Fibreboards made from pine wood Firms ra-diata) were impregnated with phenol resin, dried, harden-treated at 135°C and then burnt at 800 or 2800°C. These new ceramics exhibited special characteristics like high heat and corrosion resistance, heat and electrical conductivity, impermeability to gas and hardness. The observed heat capacities between ambient and 250°C with 0.5 to 0.94 J/(g K) for the 2800°C sample and even 1.0 to 5.5 J/(g K) for the 800 C sample are relatively large compared with those of metals and alloys and rather close to those of rubber, porcelain or concrete [64]. 

Physical properties usually refer to the inherent characteristics of a material. They are independent of the chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical processes, such as the density, melting temperature, heat transfer coefficient, specific heat, and electrical conductivity. These properties are usually...
