High temperatures play a crucial role in the deterioration of the thermal properties of rocks and can threaten the structural integrity of many applications in engineering. This research focused on the variations in thermal diffusivity of sandstone after high temperature heating. Thermal properties of the samples were measured before and after heating using a thermal constants analyzer based on the Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique. Thermal diffusivity of the sandstone ...
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....
The purpose of this study was to look at the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of coking coal, sandstone and foamed concrete existing in extreme thermal environments. Thermal-physical properties were measured under various conditions: fully water saturated, after saturation during air-drying, and oven-drying at 105°C. Results showed thermal conductivity increased with increasing moisture content, and sandstone had the highest mean thermal conductivity value of the three materials....
The present study looked at the damage characteristics and thermophysical properties of limestone and sandstone at -30 to 1000 °C. A thermal constants analyzer was used to measure thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of the rock samples. Results showed that water migration and phase transition were two core factors for thermal behaviors. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were found to decrease during the heating process, while specific heat capacity ...
