Marx's Insights on Nature, Labor, and Property
Karl Marx's writings in the mid-19th century delved into the interconnectedness of man with nature, the impact of alienated labor on private property, and the potential for intimate ties to resolve conflicts. Through his economic and philosophic manuscripts, Marx explored the universality of man and the essence of true personal property. His ideas on communism and humanism as resolutions of conflicts between man and nature offer thought-provoking perspectives on society and economics.

Steady State Methods for Determining k Good Simple calculations Large samples Direct method Bad Heat divergence Large samples Laboratory method Slow Thermally induced moisture redistribution Home made and/or expensive
Consequences of Thermally Induced Water Flow Steady state methods work well for measuring thermal conductivity in the laboratory on saturated or completely dry materials Steady state methods don't work for measuring thermal conductivity of unsaturated porous media
Line heat Source Methods for Thermal Properties Place a line heat source in the sample Apply heat to the source and measure its temperature over time Compare the measured response with the response predicted using the Fourier law model adjust k and D in the model until it matches the measurements

Heated Needle as Transient Line Heat Source Ideally Source is infinitely long and infinitesimally small Medium is uniform Temperature is uniform and constant Source is in intimate contact with medium
Heated Needle as Transient Line Heat Source Reality: Source is 10cm long and 2.4 mm in diameter Temperature may vary in space and time Contact resistance between source and medium can occur Medium may not be uniform (no control)
Transient Methods for Determining k Good Small or large samples Fast Portable No thermally induced water flow In situ measurements Bad Destructive
Improvements on the Transient Method Blackwell solution to the differential equation Takes into account the finite probe size Takes into account contact resistance Other improvements Monitors temperature drift and correct the data
Thermal Dryout Curves The relationship between thermal conductivity and water content for a soil or other porous material Water content is an important variable, but density, mineralogy and temperature are also important. These need to be held constant

General PCM Info Transient line method can be used in liquids, solids, and gels. Sensors can be used in an environmental chamber Lab tech saves time with continuous read mode
Experiment in PCMs Tested liquids and gels Green product phase change occurs at 5 oC Orange product phase change occurs at 15 oC Gel samples retain shape at warmer temperatures
Test Setup Needle inserted into the gel and placed in an environmental chamber. Liquid samples placed in vial and thermal needle probe inserted into vial via septa in lid. Needles in vertical orientation
