A mixture of diamond nanoparticles and mineral oil may be the most effective nanofluid for heat transfer applications, according to new research from Rice University. Thermal fluids are used in a variety of applications, from protecting machine components from the effects of wear-and-tear to power transmission systems, solar cells, nanoelectronic mechanical systems and cooling … [Read more...]
Microchips Tolerate Extreme Temperatures in Industrial Applications
German scientists have successfully fabricated compact microchips able to tolerate temperatures up to 300°C in an achievement that could have significant implications for the geothermal and oil production industries. Drill bits and borehole probes employed in the geothermal industry are fitted with a range of sensors and control mechanisms in order to record and analyze … [Read more...]
New Thermal Adhesive Boasts Twice the Conductivity at Half the Cost
3M’s Electronics Markets Materials Division (EMMD) has released 3M 8904, a thermally conductive adhesive tape for thermal management and part bonding in electronic devices, as well as general heat dissipation. Containing thermally conductive particles as well as flame resistant fillers, 3M 8904 offers twice the thermal conductivity at half the material cost. The new adhesive … [Read more...]
Researchers Pinpoint Heat Movement in Nanostructures
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a new method of precisely measuring the subtle movement of heat in nanostructures. Heat flows at the nanoscale differently than at larger scales, the researchers say, and understanding how certain surfaces affect the transport of heat at the phonon level could have implications in everything from thermoelectric materials to … [Read more...]
Thermally Conductive Copper Grease for High-Temp Heat Transfer
Aremco has released Heat-Away 640, a new high temperature, thermally conductive, copper-filled grease for use in heat transfer applications from –60 to 550 ºF (-51 to 288 ºC). Designed to improve the thermal transfer between heaters and process vessels and various heat sinks used in heat exchangers in electrical and electronic applications, Heat-Away 640 is a single-part, 100 … [Read more...]
