Thermal conductivity calculations, experiments, molecular simulations

Nowadays various experimental procedures are there to calculate the thermal conductivity of various materials using various techniques. The most important thing to be considered here is the cost of the experiment to be performed. Here the thermal conductivity calculations are much expensive and time talking and reproducibility is really a matter of questions. 

Molecular dynamics simulations are another way, which is emerging to be an alternative to experimental methods, to calculate the thermal conductivity of wide range of materials. Literature exists on many materials. Most of the lterature talks about "Green Kubo" method or "Muller Plathe" method. LAMMPS is a molecular dynamics code freely available for academic institutions in which these algoriths of above mentioned methods are available. Below given links in LAMMPS forum better explains the method and their limitations and usage in LAMMPS software.

  1. Thermally enhanced conductive insulator is a thermally conductive electrically insulating materials, are designed for a wide variety of applications. If you require high performance of heat transfer and electrical isolation, this thermal insulating sheet is made of polymers. Others, such as metal foils, are not.

    1. Very good article
      i have detailed article below discussing about Pilot Plant and how they are designed Pilot Plant design .
      I have also written about scaling up the Pilot plant Pilot plant scale up
      Also Reactor design has been explained in detail here Reactor Design along with Adiabatic Reactor design Adiabatic Reactor Design
