Thermal transporting of microfibers Austin Schwartz Xinwei Wang, Xiaopeng Huang
Outline • Motivation • Objectives • Approach • Method • Work completed • Future work
Motivation • Gather more data on thermal transportation
Objectives • Background information • Verify technique that is used • Gather variety of fibers • Use technique to test fibers
Approach • Thermal Diffusivity • High: Adjust temperature quickly • Low: Adjust temperature slowly • Transient Electrothermal Technique (TET)
Method • Transient Electrothermal Technique (TET) • Can be applied to variety of materials • High Signal Strength • Instant measurement results • Xiaopeng Huang, Jianmei Wang, GyulaEres, XinweiWang, Thermophysicalproperties of multi-wall carbon nanotube bundles at elevated temperatures up to 830 K, Carbon, Volume 49, Issue 5, April 2011, Pages 1680-1691
Close-up of Polyester Fiber Scale = 2.22 mm Total length = 5.86 mm
Methods of Data Analysis • Characteristic Point • Linear Fitting • Least Square GuojQ, Wang XW, Wang T. Thermal characterization of microscale conductive and nonconductive wires using transient electrothermal technique. J Appl Phys 2007; 101(6):063537-43
Work Completed • Verified technique using platinum wire http://www.jmny.com/public/miniHome_technical/technicalPapers/Laser%20Welding%20Properties%20of%20Platinum.pdf
Other Work Completed • Silk fiber tested • Needs to be tested again BeforeAfter
Future Work • Better understanding of data analysis • Calculate current 9 other fibers to be tested 3 weeks left fibers 3 week
