Also, the pyrocarbon and thermal conductivity of carbon/carbon composites with different carbon fibers as preform were studied. The results show that M40 carbon fiber has the largest crystallite size and the least d002, T300 follows, and TT00 the third. With the increase of heat treatment temperature, the surface state and crystal size of carbon fibers change correspondingly. M40 carbon fiber exhibits the best graphitization property, followed by T300 and then T700. The different microstructure and surface state of different carbon fibers lead to the different microstructures of pyrocarbon and then result in the different thermal conductivities of carbon/carbon composites. The carbon/carbon composite with M40 as preform has the best microstructure in pyrocarbon and the highest thermal conductivity.展开更多

Numerical simulations and analyses are performed on a volume to point conduction problem based on the principle of minimum entropy generation. In the optimization, the arrangement of high thermal conductivity materials is variable, the quantity of high thermal-conductivity material is constrained, and the objective is to obtain the maximum heat conduction rate as the entropy is the minimum.A novel algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is proposed based on large quantity of calculations.Compared with other algorithms in literature, the average temperature in the substrate by the new algorithm is lower, while the highest temperature in the substrate is in a reasonable range. Thus the new algorithm is feasible. The optimization of volume to point heat conduction is carried out in a rectangular model with radiation boundary condition and constant surface temperature boundary condition. The results demonstrate that the algorithm of thermal conductivity discretization is applicable for volume to point heat conduction problems.展开更多

Most standard building materials are characterized by a porous structure, which results in the ability to receive water in a liquid as well as gaseous form in the inner pores. The water fills the storage space of pores under certain conditions; it is transported and transferred back to the surroundings. Many technical studies show that the moisture monitoring is prevailingly based on experiments. Previous calculating methods introduced, e.g., by Glaser, which became the basis for the standard calculations in many European countries in the 1960s, are not always sufficient with respect to the demands of the civil structures. The moisture influences thermo-insulating properties of the material. By a change of the thermo insulation properties of the construction also the thermal and diffusion scheme of the construction is changed and its thermal resistance is decreasing. Faults in the thermo-technical projects occur when thermal conductivity coefficient L values for material in a dry state are substituted.The aim of the research is to determine the capillary conductivity coefficient as a characteristic material moisture parameter of the building materials by the means of a non-destructive method using the experimentally assembled apparatus developed at the Department of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology.

Transmittance spectra were first taken using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) for the samples with p = 234 kg/m^3. Specific extinction coefficient spectra were then obtained by applying Beer's law. Finally, by using the diffusion approximation, the specific Rossland mean extinction coefficients and radiative thermal conductivities were obtained for various temperatures. The results show that the specific spectral extinction coefficient of xonotlite is larger than 7 m^2/kg in the whole measured spectra, and diffusion approximation equation is a reasonable description of radiative heat transfer in xonotlite insulation material. The specific Rossland mean extinction coefficient of xonotlite has a maximum value at 400 K and the radiative thermal conductivity is almost proportional to the cube of temperature.展开更多

The inverse problem is solved usingconjugate gradient method of minimization based on discrete ordinates method (DOM) of radiativetransfer equation. The equations of sensitivity coefficients are derived and easily solved by DOM, withthe result that the complicated numerical differentiation commonly used in solving sensitivity coefficients is avoided. The effects of anisotropic scattering, absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient,boundary reflectivity, fluid temperature outside the boundaries, convection heat transfer coefficients,conduction coefficient of semitransparent media and slab thickness on the accuracy of the inverse analysis are investigated. The results show that the boundary incident radiation heat flux can be estimatedaccurately, even with noisy data.展开更多

Thermal cloaks and concentrators, which have been extensively studied recently, are actually graded materials designed according to coordinate transformation approaches, and their effective thermal conductivity is equal to that of the host medium outside the cloak or concentrator. Here we attempt to investigate a more general problem: what is the effective thermal conductivity of graded materials? In particular, we perform a first-principles approach to the analytic exact results of effective thermal conductivities of materials possessing either power-law or linear gradation profiles. On the other hand, by solving Laplace's equation, we derive a differential equation for calculating the effective thermal conductivity of a material whose thermal conductivity varies along the radius with arbitrary gradation profiles.The two methods agree with each other for both external and internal heat sources, as confirmed by simulation and experiment. This work provides different methods for designing new thermal metamaterials(including thermal cloaks and concentrators), in order to control or manipulate the transfer of heat.展开更多

The internal gas flow was solved by numerically integrating theequations of the quasi-one-dimensional flow including the effects of pipe friction and heat transfer. As for the supersonicjet flow, semi-empirical equations were used to obtain the gas velocity and temperature along the centerline. The velocity and temperature of the particle were obtained by an one-way coupling method. The material ofthe spray particle selected in this study is ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The temperaturedistributions in the spherical UHMWPE particles of 50 and 150 m accelerated and heated by the supersonic gasflow was clarified.展开更多

The dispersion relation for each problem is first expressed in the general form where the frequency co (or wavenumber k) is expanded in terms of the wavenumber k (or frequency ω). A general homogenization model can be directly obtained with any given dispersion relation. Next step we study the unit cell of the heterogeneous material and derive the exact dispersion relation. The final homogenized equations include both leading order terms (effective properties) and high order contributions that represent the effect of the microscopic heterogeneity on the macroscopic behavior. That effect can be lumped into a single dimensionless heterogeneity parameter β, which is bounded between -1/12≤β≤ 0 and has a universal expression for all three problems. Numerical examples validate the proposed method and demonstrate a significant computational saving.展开更多

The thermal conductivity coefficient obtained from HNEMD is dependent on various plasma parameters (T,k). The proposed algorithm gives accurate results with fast convergence and small size effect over a wide range of plasma parameters. The cross microscopic heat energy current is discussed in association with variation of temperature (1/Г) and external perturbations (Pz). The thermal conductivity obtained from HNEMD simulations is found to be very good agreement and more reliable than previously known numerical techniques of equilibrium molecular dynarnic, nonequilibrium molecular dynamic simulations. Our new investigations point to an effective conclusion that the thermal conductivity of complex dusty plasmas is dependent on an extensive range of plasma coupling (P) and screening parameter (k) and it varies by the alteration in these parameters. It is also shown that a different approach is used for computations of thermal conductivity in 2D complex plasmas and can be appropriate method for behaviors of complex systems.展开更多
