Assembly of custom made, lab scale thermal conductivity measurement apparatus.
The aim of this project is the assembly of a measurement apparatus for thermal conductivity measurements of highly porous materials synthesised in the group for various applications (high performance thermal insulation, sustainable cooling ...).
Keywords: Assembly of measurement apparatus, Thermal conductivity measurement, Arduino/Rasberry
Within the group we are specialized in the synthesis of novel highly porous materials for high performance insulation, sustainable adsorption/desorption cooling and other applications. The measurement of the thermal conductivity of these materials under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity) is of primordial importance. For this a mobile thermal conductivity measurement apparatus is needed that can be placed in a controlled environment.

The aim of this internship is thus the testing of the different components, the assembly as well as the implementation of a user interface of a new thermal conductivity measurement device. The different components will be controlled via Raspberry or Arduino. Thus we are looking for a Student with prior experience with one of those two systems. The design of the device is based on the improvement of an existing design (see image above). Finally the completed, assembled device needs to be tested and documented.
