Abstract
This study explores a novel application of a calorimetric sensor to measure the heat capacity of small heat-conducting parts under varying environmental conditions. The sensor, a hybrid of a heat conduction calorimeter and a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), has been adapted from its original use on living skin to measure conductive materials. We present a detailed description of the sensor's instrumentation, its operating model, and the experimental procedure. The sensor's accuracy is evaluated through experimental measurements on aluminum and brass samples, showing a maximum deviation of 5 % and a mean deviation of 2.35 % from the theoretical values. Additionally, finite element method (FEM) simulations are employed to further investigate the sensor's performance, confirming that both measurement time and sample size significantly influence the results. This research demonstrates the potential of this calorimetric sensor for rapid and accurate thermal analysis of small heat conducting parts, with potential applications in various scientific and industrial fields.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
