If two opposite faces of a cube, made from the substance to be examined, are maintained at temperatures (Tj) and (T2), the heat conductivities across the section of the cube (A) cm2 and (D) cm thick, the specific heat conductivity ... 

Procedure of creation of the heat machine based on periodic circulation of hydrogen and increase in the efficiency its operation demands the detailed information on methods of calculation equilibrium P-C-T (pressure - concentration - temperature) of characteristics, thermodynamic, thermalphysic (factors of specific heat conductivity X and heat transfers a depending on temperature and pressure) and kinetic properties of hydrides. Approach to designing HHP as to an individual kind of HHM can be broken on three part [1] ... 

Duration of a cycle of HHP operation is defined as time required for reaction hydrogenation/dehydrogenation in pair hydride system. This time determines heat capacity of HHP. Duration of a cycle depends on kinetics of hydrogenation reactions, a heat transfer between the heated up and cooling environment, heat conductivities of hydride beds. Rates of reactions are proportional to a difference of dynamic pressure of hydrogen in sorbers of HHP and to constants of chemical reaction of hydrogenation. The relation of dynamic pressure is adjusted by characteristics of a heat emission in beds of metal hydride particles (the heat emission of a hydride bed depends on its effective specific heat conductivity) and connected to total factor of a heat transfer of system a sorber-heat exchanger. The modified constant of speed, as function of temperature in isobaric process [1], can characterize kinetics of sorption reactions. In HHP it is not sense to use hydrides with a low kinetics of reactions. The basic condition of an acceptability of hydride for HHP is a condition of forward rate of chemical reactions in relation to rate of a heat transmission. 

Works on increase of an overall performance of HHP were simultaneously carried out. For example, in [2] a number of the factors influencing specific output power of HHP has been considered. Properties of metal hydrides (absorbing ability, speeds of reactions, porosity of a covering, the characteristic of a heat transmission of a hydride bed) were analyzed for optimum selection. It has been shown that in pressings from powder metal hydrides gas permeability and effective specific heat conductivity of a bed Xes should be in common optimized in the certain range of a weight share of an additional heat-conducting material. 

Instruments are used in the chemical industry to measure process variables, such as temperature, pressure, density, viscosity, specific heat, conductivity, pH, humidity, dew point, liquid level, flow rate, chemical composition, and moisture content. By use of instruments having varying degrees of complexity, the values of these variables can be recorded continuously and controlled within narrow limits.

Heat transport in connection with the removal of reversible heat TAS and irreversible Joule heat, may become an additional problem. In contrast to metals, organics and polymers (or at least the conventional, insulating ones) suffer from relatively low specific heat conductivities. Again, graphite pathways and minimized L improve this unfavorable situation to some extent. 

Thermal Properties.—The thermal qualities of refractories, specific heat, conductivity and expansion are determined according to the established physical methods. It is evident that these properties are of considerable practical importance. The data available, however, on these subjects are quite meager, especially if it is considered that the structure of the manufactured product, irrespective of its chemical nature, is of paramount importance. Furthermore, these properties are subject to change with temperature and comparatively few constants are at hand to illustrate the character of these relations. It is known that the specific heat and thermal conductivity increase with temperature but the fundamental laws governing these changes have not been established. Furthermore, it must be realized that the structure of all these materials is certain to undergo physical changes which affect the thermal qualities. 

Consequently, a temperature profile develops within the mass which is mainly determined by the substance specific heat conductivity. The temperature profiles of those two limiting cases are presented schematically in Figure 4-7, As the Semenov model is of greater importance to chemical transitions performed in their respective reactors, the following elaboration shall focus on this part of the explosion theory. The other limiting case should be applied when assessing the storage of solid substances with dust explosive or self-reactive properties.

The specific heat conductance of some materials that are of interest in connection with batteries or their surroundings are compiled in Table 1.5. It shows that heat conductivity is fairly high for materials that are used within the battery, like the various metals or water. As a consequence, the internal heat flow widely equalizes the temperature within the battery. 

The most simple method of forced cooling is forced airflow, listed in Line 4 of the table. It uses air as coolant that is blown by a fan through channels formed by the spacing of the cells or monoblocs within the battery. The low specific heat of air and its low specific heat conductance, however, limit this method. More effective coolants are mineral oil and water. The first has the advantage that it cannot cause short circuits, but its specific heat content is rather low, at least compared to water, which proves to be most effective. 

For calculation of the temperature profile for a given time, Fourier s law of heat conduction (see Chap. 5) has to be solved. In its simplest form, Eq. (Al), it says that the stream of heat energy per time unit, AQjdt, is proportional to the local temperature profile d77dr. The proportionality factor is X, the specific heat conductivity of the surrounding solution, measured in J cm s . For aqueous solutions, even if they contain supporting electrolyte in common concentration,. 1(H20) = 5.64 mJ cm s is a good approximation.
