Book G Plus Report to Owens Corning thermal Conductivity Measurements of Fiberglass

Download or read book G Plus Report to Owens Corning thermal Conductivity Measurements of Fiberglass written by H. Wang and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiberglass made by Owens Corning is being used in noise reduction of automobile exhaust system. Specifically, the glass fibers are packed inside the muffler to achieve the desired acoustic effect. A secondary benefit of the fibers is to serve as a thermal insulation. Because of this insulating property, the glass fibers can serve to reduce the temperature of the muffler shell. This in turn reduces the need for heat shields around mufflers and reduces the amount of exterior temperature accelerated corrosion of the muffler shell, especially in the winter ''salt belts'' where large amounts of salt are placed on highways to minimize the safety impact of snow and ice. In addition, for some applications the use of the fiberglass could allow the use of lighter weight carbon based polymer composite materials in place of steel for muffler shells. However, in order to properly design exhaust systems without heat shields or to take advantage of new materials, the thermal conductivity of the fiberglass material at operating temperatures (for some applications above 750 C) must be known. We selected two types of Owens Corning glass fibers, 17 {micro}m and 24 {micro}m in diameter, for this study. There are some room temperature thermal conductivity data for the fiberglass, but high temperature data are not available. Based on the thermal radiation model, thermal conductivity should increase rapidly at high temperature, providing less thermal insulation. In addition, thermal conductivity depends on packing density of the glass fibers. We will study the effect of packing density on thermal conductivity. Another issue is that the glass fiber conducts heat better along the fiber, while the conduction across the fibers is poor, because thermal conduction from one fiber to another has to go through an interface with thermal resistance. In fiberglass, most fibers are not in good contact with the surrounding fibers, thus, most heat transfer is dependent on the thermal radiation effect. Among the many methods of measuring thermal conductivity, only a few can be used for glass fibers. The traditional heat flow meter is used in testing thermal insulations near room temperature. At higher temperatures this method cannot be used due to material and instrument limitations. Our plan is to use a transient plane source (TPS) method to measure thermal conductivity directly. The advantage of the TPS method is that measurements can be taken at over 700 C, and covers the temperature of the automobile exhausts. The following is a report for the G-Plus project conducted at ORNL to apply the TPS method to characterizing the thermal conductivity of two types of fiberglass and also the effect of packing density.

Book Non evacuated Cryogenic Thermal Insulation Studies

Download or read book Non evacuated Cryogenic Thermal Insulation Studies written by C. L. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermal accommodation coefficient was studied for its application to very fine powders, and its probable effect on heat transfer through powders was evaluated. On the basis of the literature survey, a heat-transfer model was devised which depicts heat as being transported by three heat-transfer modes operating independently and in parallel. Experimental data was gathered on the thermal conductivity of a mixture of carbon black and silica powder. Data were collected for several powder mean temperatures and densities, with helium, neon, and nitrogen used as interstitial gases at atmospheric pressure. The heat-transfer model was compared to the experimental data, with good correlation. Analysis of the experimental data showed that the thermal conductivity of a powder is primarily dependent upon the effective gas thermal conductivity, which may be regulated to some extent by the size of the interstitial pore. It was also shown that heat transfer through interparticle contact may be very large if the interstitial gas is adsorbed upon the powder particles. Both the theoretical model and the experimental data indicate that the accommodation coefficient influences heat transport through a powder bed in only a minor way. (Author).

Book An Analytical and Experimental Investigation for an Interstitial Insulation Technology

Download or read book An Analytical and Experimental Investigation for an Interstitial Insulation Technology written by Dong Keun Kim and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insulation technique has been developed which contains a single or combination of materials to help minimize heat loss in actual industrial applications. For the petroleum industry, insulation for deep sea piping is one of the greatest challenges which would prevent the industry from meeting the high demand for oil through exploration into deeper ocean environments. At current seafloor depths (5,000~10,000ft), pipeline insulation is essential in preventing pipeline blockage resulting from the solidification of paraffin waxes and / or hydrate formation which exist in crude oil. To maintain crude oil temperatures above the paraffin solidification point (68°C or 155°F), new and better insulation techniques are essential to minimize pipeline heat loss and maintain crude oil temperatures. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to determine whether or not the thermal resistance of a new insulation concept, which involves IIT (Interstitial Insulation Technology) with screen wire, was greater than existing readily available commercial products through analytical modeling and experimentation. The model takes into account both conforming and nonconforming interfaces at the wire screen contacts within the interstitial space between coaxial pipes. In addition, confirmation was needed to determine whether or not laboratory testing of simulated coupons translate to thermal performance for a prototype pipe segment that fabricated with two layers of low conductivity wire-screen (stainless steel) as the interstitial insulation material. Both the inner and outer surface temperatures of the coaxial pipes were measured in order to evaluate the effective thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the insulation concept. The predicted results from the model compared very favorably with the experimental results, confirming both the trends and magnitudes of the experimental data. In other words, whether the reduction in heat transfer observed for small laboratory samples was realistic for application to a pipeline configuration. This effort involved both analytical modeling for all thermal resistances and experimental test runs for validation of the analytical model. Finally, it was a goal of this investigation to develop a simplified model for a multilayer composite structure which will include radiation heat transfer exchange among the layers that constitute the insulation. With the developed model, feasibility and performance characteristics of the insulation concept were predicted. The thermal predictions have demonstrated the thermal competitiveness of the interstitial insulation technology.

Book Comparative Analysis Thermal Performance Between Copper and Aluminum as Heat Plates and Fins

Download or read book Comparative Analysis Thermal Performance Between Copper and Aluminum as Heat Plates and Fins written by Purenutthe Liangosakul and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer is a critical aspect in many industries, including electronics, and automotive. Copper and aluminum are the most commonly used materials for heat plates and fins, but their selection depends on several factors such as cost, thermal conductivity, and weight. This study aims to compare the performance between copper and aluminum as heat plates and fins with simulation and experiment to determine the most cost-effective solution for heat transfer applications. The experiments were conducted under a stress load of 15W and an ambient room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with temperature measurements recorded for the CPU. The research involves an experimental setup that measures the temperature and thermal resistance from the CPU, heat plates and fins. The results showed that the copper heat plate with copper fins demonstrated the best thermal performance, with the CPU temperature reaching 85.9 degrees Celsius. The copper heat plate with aluminum fins increase temperature 1%. The aluminum heat plate with copper fins recorded further temperature increases 2%, while the aluminum heat plate with aluminum fins showed the highest temperature reading of 90.5 degrees Celsius or increase 5% from copper heat plate with copper fins temperature. Analyzing the significance of material selection, it was observed that copper, with its excellent thermal conductivity, provided superior heat transfer capabilities. However, the increase in CPU temperature when using aluminum was relative. The results of this study will provide into the thermal performance and cost-effectiveness of copper and aluminum as heat plates and fins and help engineers to make informed decisions in selecting materials for heat transfer applications.

Download or read book Reusable Launch Vehicle written by Committee on Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology and Test Program and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-01-22 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.
