Each presentation engendered discussion and a few points of special interest are noted here:
a) Invited Presentation:
H. Fukuyama gave an invited presentation on “Modulation Calorimetry for High-Temperature Metallic Melts”. In order to avoid contact of the melt, which is usually corrosive, with the cell they employed electromagnetic levitation.To eliminate convection (buoyancy, Marangoni and magnetic hydrodynamic convection), a DC magnetic field technique was employed to measure the thermal conductivity of the molten drop. The drop was heated on the one side by a modulated laser, and its temperature was recorded on its other side. Measurements of the heat capacity were performed over a wide temperature range. The thermal conductivity and emissivity were obtained by numerical analysis of the results.
b) Instruments:
- Th.M. Koller described the problems associated with the simultaneous measurement of viscosity and surface tension of hydrocarbons up to 600 K, by the SLS technique. These were mostly related to the measuring cell and the temperature stability of 1 mK. He also gave a brief discussion of the uncertainty analysis.
- Measurements of mass, thermal and mutual diffusivity in mixtures as a function of temperature by Light Scattering from density fluctuations in fluids, were discussed by C. Giraudet. Non-equilibrium fluctuations were going to be investigated employing shadowgraphy.
- C. Junker described a new torsional crystal viscometer to operate in the temperature range 200-450 K and up to 100 MPa, with an expected absolute uncertainty <1%.Only preliminary measurements with an uncertainty of about 3-4% were shown.
- E. May described a new vibrating-wire viscometer to measuring the viscosity, and a transient hot-wire instrument to measure the thermal conductivity, of 4th generation refrigerants in gas and liquid phases. He also showed measurements on many refrigerant mixtures.
c) New measurements:
F.J.P. Caetano presented new measurements of the viscosity, density and surface tension of Poly(ethylene glycol) – PEG, at 0.1MPa.
d) Theoretical:
- W.A. Wakeham gave a talk on the enhancement of the thermal conductivity of a liquid when nanoparticles are added. He showed that if only measurements performed properly in well-established instruments are considered, the enhancement is not large. Furthermore the Hamilton-Crosser theory is adequate for evaluation of the apparent thermal conductivity of nanofluids for engineering applications, while the modification of the Shukla et al. model (group of A. Fröba) offers also a reasonable description for an additional convective heat transfer mechanism. A general discussion on nanoparticles dispersions in fluids was also given by C.A. Nieto de Castro.
- S. Quiñones-Cisneros described the advantages of application of friction theory in correlations of pure fluids and mixtures.
e) Reference values:
K. Antoniadis presented a survey of thermal-conductivity measurements of molten metals and consequently proposed reference values for many of them.
