Increases in backfill soil's thermal conductivity can cause sharply higher heating station fuel costs on heavy oil crude pipelines because the higher conductivity requires a higher initial temperature ...

The thermal conductivity of bulk polymeric films can be generally improved by introducing interlaced lamellar or “shish-kebab” crystals along the machine direction (MD) through uniaxial stretching or ...

As a critical parameter, thermal conductivity directly determines the heat transfer and temperature variation within rocks, which can lead to mechanical damage and chemical corrosion. Consequently, ...
