Thermal conductivity Measurement of Aviation Kerosene
The thermal conductivities of aviation kerosene were measured in the temperature range of 300K to 480K at a increment of 20K by the TC3010L, vacuum discharge system and temperature module of RT~473K.
When the temperature increasing, all the valves should be opened. Vacuum discharge system was used before and after the experiment for the cleanness of the sample vessel.
Experimental results are showed in Figure 1, from which it can see that the thermal conductivity decreased as the temperature increased.

Thermal conductivity Measurement of Nanofluids
Nanofluids attracted considerable interest as it is potential efficient working fluids in heat transfer equipment. Some researches shows that, thermal conductivity enhancement in nanofluids is related to the many factors such as particles concentration, particle dimension, basic fluids, dispersion and etc.
The thermal conductivity of Cu/water nanofluids with different mass fractions of particles were measured by TC3010L and the results are showed in Figure 2. It can be seen that there is a significant increase of the thermal conductivity with the mass fraction increase of cu particles.
