Green, formaldehyde-free, foams for thermal insulation

This paper presents the idea of flavonoid foams that are manufactured from natural resources rather than formaldehyde-containing tannin-based foams. A TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of the foams using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results show that the flavonoid foams are a better choice than tannin-based foams because they have a lower thermal conductivity which makes them more insulative and fire resistant, and they do not release toxic ...

A numerical study on the influence of insulating layer of the sensor on the thermal conductivity measuring accuracy 

In this study, the thermal properties of stainless steel, ceramic, and silica aerogels were numerically calculated and then compared to actual test results. A thermal constants analyser measured the thermal conductivities and thermal diffusivities of the samples using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the values generated by the numerical simulation were within ±3% of the TPS method values, which verifies the reliability and accuracy of the numerical ...

Thermal Resistance Wearing Course Development and Performance

In an effort to lessen the Urban Heat Island effect, aggregate in road wearing course was replaced in varying amounts with sintered clay or recycled ceramic. The physical and thermal properties of these new mixtures were then examined to determine if they showed improvements over traditional wearing course. It was found that the replacement of aggregate with sintered clay decreased the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity. A similar result was ...

Using the Transient Plane Source Method for Measuring Thermal Parameters of Electroceramics

Using the transient plane source (TPS) technique, researchers measured the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of an electrically insulating ceramic material prepared from kaolin and feldspar. The electroceramic was tested at multiple temperature points to see how it affected thermal conductivity. Thermal properties were strongly affected by temperature, and the ceramic material studied had the highest thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity at the highest temperature tested. The ...

Effect of the pore volume fraction on the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of kaolin-based foams

Very porous ceramics were prepared by the direct foaming method containing 79% kaolinite , based on commercial clay. Ceramics were prepared with different pore volume fractions, and the different ceramics were analyzed using the transient plane source (TPS) technique to measure thermal conductivity. Increasing pore volume fraction led to decreased thermal conductivity....
