This study looked to analyze temperature effects on thermal transport properties of dry granite, gabbro, marble, and sandstone samples. An instrument was used with a high temperature chamber to perform thermal conductivity measurements on the rock samples. The thermal conductivity of the granite, marble, and sandstone samples were found to decrease with increasing ambient temperature, while the gabbro remained almost constant....
This research looked to investigate the thermal conductivity and heating performance of asphalt mixtures containing steel slag and steel wool fibers (SWF). An instrument was used with the transient plane source method, to evaluate the effect of SWF and steel slag on the thermal conductivity of asphalt. Results showed that as the content of SWF increased to 6%, the asphalt mixtures had a higher thermal conductivity. At 8% SWF content, the uneven ...
