About this ebook

Document from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: A, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, language: English, abstract: This book documents the efforts towards thermal characterization of templated nanostructures using an infrared (IR) thermography based non-contact technique. One dimensional bismuth telluride Bi2Te3 nanostructures were grown using anodic alumina (AAO) template assisted electrodeposition technique. An infrared thermography based technique was then developed for the in-plane thermal diffusivity measurements of these templated nanocomposites. The thermal diffusivity of the nanowires alone was estimated through comparing the experimental results with the predictions made by a first order lower bound model (FOLBM). A mathematical background of the proposed technique with simulation studies is also reported. Infrared thermography techniques are widely used for non destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation. The application areas are greatly varied: from water entrapment and moisture evaluation of buildings, degradation of EPROM (erasable programmable read only memory) chips and printed circuit boards, defect detection and characterization in turbine blades, medical and veterinary applications such as thermal coronary angiography, humane breast tumors, neuromuscular disorders, public services as forest fire detection and monitoring of traffic roads, to name a few.
