Book of Abstracts and Program of the 21st Conference on Thermophysical Properties :
This
Conference will be the 21st in a series of very successful conferences
on Thermophysical Properties held in Europe since 1968.
The 21st
conference is organized by the Institute of Experimental Physics at the
TU Graz, Austria, and will take place in the Physics building, postal
address Petersgasse 16, 8010 Graz.
The objective of the conference is
to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to meet and
exchange valuable experiences in the field of thermophysical properties
for a wide variety of systems covering fluids and solids. The conference
will concentrate mainly on measurement, theory and modeling of the
following properties and materials.
Properties: thermal conductivity,
diffusivity, electrical conductivity, viscosity and nonNewtonian
properties, mass-diffusion and thermodiffusion, optical and radiative
properties including emissivity, reflectivity and absorptivity,
solubility, phase equilibrium including liquid – solid, calorimetric and
volumetric properties, speed of sound, interfacial properties including
solid-solid and wettability, …
Materials: metals and alloys,
ceramics, glasses, composites, multi-functional materials,
superconductors, insulation materials, porous materials, granular and
thin-film materials, foams, gels, emulsions, soft materials,
nano-materials, near critical and super critical fluids, polymers, food
and biomaterials, environmentally friendly fluids, aqueous systems,
petroleum fluids, ionic liquids, molten salts,…
Special focus on:
measuring techniques (including methodology of data evaluation and
prediction) and engineering applications (polymerization, casting,
sintering, plasma spraying, distillation, refrigerant techniques,
thermoelectric cooling, insulation structures in civil engineering, …),
standard data and standard substances.
The objective of the
conference is to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers
to meet and exchange valuable experiences in the field of
Thermophysical Properties of a wide variety of systems covering fluids
and solids.
