Metal matrix composites are regarded to be one of the most predominant classifications in composites. The thermal characterization of metal matrix composites using Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a resourceful technique for the determination of heat flow distribution, specific heat capacity and enthalpy. The measurement of the thermal properties of materials is fundamental for the better understanding of the thermal design. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is a technique that measures the difference in the heat flow to a sample and to a reference sample as a direct function of time or temperature under heating, cooling or isothermal conditions. In the present research, evaluation of specific heat capacity and enthalpy are accomplished for Al 6061, Silicon Carbide and Graphite hybrid metal matrix composites from room temperature to 300°C based on heat flow response. Based on endothermic and exothermic processes, the heat flow can be shown clearly depending on heating rate and gradual variation in temperature. The heat flow and heating rate are beneficial in the estimation of specific heat capacity for different percentage compositions of the hybrid composites.

Background: Researchers working in the field of nanofluid have done many studies on the thermophysical properties of nanofluids. Among these studies, the number of studies on specific heat are rather limited. In the study of the heat transfer performance of nanofluids, it is necessary to increase the number of specific heat studies, whose subject is one of the important thermophysical properties. Objective: The authors aimed to measure the specific heat values of Al2O3/water, Cu/water nanofluids and Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluids using the DTA method, and compare the results with those frequently used in the literature. In addition, this study focuses on the effect of temperature and volume concentration on specific heat. Method: The two-step method was used in the preparation of nanofluids. The pure water selected as the base fluid was mixed with the Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles and Arabic Gum as the surfactant, firstly mixed in the magnetic stirrer for half an hour. It was then homogenized for 6 hours in the ultrasonic homogenizer. Results: After the experiments, the specific heat of nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid were compared and the temperature and volume concentration of specific heat were investigated. Then, the experimental results obtained for all three fluids were compared with the two frequently used correlations in the literature. Conclusion: Specific heat capacity increased with increasing temperature, and decreased with increasing volume concentration for three tested nanofluids. Cu/water has the lowest specific heat capacity among all tested fluids. Experimental specific heat capacity measurement results are compared by using the models developed by Pak and Cho and Xuan and Roetzel. According to experimental results, these correlations can predict experimental results within the range of ±1%.

Aims: To develop an efficient protocol, which involves an elegant exploration of the catalytic potential of both the room temperature and surfactant ionic liquids towards the synthesis of biologically important derivatives of 2-aminothiazole. Objective: Specific heat capacity data as a function of temperature for the synthesized 2- aminothiazole derivatives has been advanced by exploring their thermal profiles. Method: The thermal gravimetry analysis and differential scanning calorimetry techniques are used systematically. Results: The present strategy could prove to be a useful general strategy for researchers working in the field of surfactants and surfactant based ionic liquids towards their exploration in organic synthesis. In addition to that, effect of electronic parameters on the melting temperature of the corresponding 2-aminothiazole has been demonstrated with the help of thermal analysis. Specific heat capacity data as a function of temperature for the synthesized 2-aminothiazole derivatives has also been reported. Conclusion: Melting behavior of the synthesized 2-aminothiazole derivatives is to be described on the basis of electronic effects with the help of thermal analysis. Additionally, the specific heat capacity data can be helpful to the chemists, those are engaged in chemical modelling as well as docking studies. Furthermore, the data also helps to determine valuable thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and enthalpy.

AbstractIn a bid to develop paper bricks as alternative masonry units, unmodified banana fibers (UMBF) and alkaline (1 Molar aqueous sodium hydroxide) modified banana fibers (AMBF), fine sand, and ordinary Portland cement were blended with waste paper pulp. The fibers were introduced in varying proportions of 0, 0.5, 1.0 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 wt% (by weight of the pulp) and curing was done for 28 and 56 days. Properties such as water and moisture absorption, compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity were appraised. The outcome of the examinations carried out revealed that water absorption rose with fiber loading while AMBF reinforced samples absorbed lesser water volume than UMBF reinforced samples; a feat occasioned by alkaline treatment of banana fiber. Moisture absorption increased with paper bricks doped with UMBF, while in the case of AMBF-paper bricks, property value was noted to depreciate with increment in AMBF proportion. Fiber loading resulted in improvement of compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths and it was noted that AMBF reinforced samples performed better. The result of the thermal test showed that incorporation of UMBF led to depreciation in thermal conductivity while AMBF infusion in the bricks initiated increment in value. Opposite behaviour was observed for specific heat capacity as UMBF enhanced heat capacity while AMBF led to depreciation. Experimental trend analysis carried out indicates that curing length and alkaline modification of fiber were effective in maximizing the properties of paperbricks for masonry construction.

The effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on the heat storage properties of Solar Salt (NaNO3-KNO3) are studied using experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The experiment results show the specific heat capacity of the molten salt-based nanofluids is higher than that of the pure base salt. We focus on the inference regarding the possible mechanisms behind the enhancement of the specific heat capacity which are considered more acceptable by the majority of researchers, the energy and force in the system are analyzed by MD simulations. The results demonstrate that the higher specific heat capacity of the nanoparticle is not the reason leading to the heat storage enhancement. Additionally, the analysis of potential energy and system configuration shows that the other possible mechanisms (i.e., interfacial thermal resistance theory and compressed layer theory) are only superficial. The forces between the nanoparticle atoms and base salt ions construct the constraint of the base salt ions, further forms the interfacial thermal resistance, and the compressed layer around the nanoparticle. This constraint has a more stable state and requires more energy to deform it, leading to the improvement of the heat storage property of nanofluids. Our findings uncover the mechanisms of specific heat capacity enhancement and guide the preparation of molten salt-based nanofluids.
