Autoclaved aerated concrete: experimental evaluation of its thermal properties at high temperatures

This article studied the thermal conductivity of samples of autoclaved aerated concrete with various densities at high temperatures in order to produce data that could be used to assess and predict the performance of buildings during a fire. The mica sensor was employed for high temperature measurements. The values obtained by the authors experimentally were then compared against the reference values provided by national and international standards for high temperature ...

Advanced Transient Plane Source Method for the Measurement of Thermal Properties of High Pressure Metal Hydrides

This article described an experimental set up using the TPS instrument and a high pressure vessel to enable researchers to accurately measures the thermal conductivity of metal hydrides as a function of pressure. Metal hydrides have promise in applications of hydrogen storage in the auto industry, however a better understanding of their thermal properties is required. The authors investigated thermal conductivity, diffusivity, specific heat and thermal contact resistance. Experimental trials ...

Experimental Evaluation of Thermal Properties of Grouting Materials 

This article studies the thermal properties of grout used in geothermal energy applications. A number of different cement based sealants were analyzed by the authors to understand how the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity change as they are exposed to conditions similar to what they withstand when they are in use. Moisture content was of particular importance, as the porous grouts easily absorb the groundwater that they come in contact ...

Thermal Properties of Oil Palm Shell Lightweight Concrete with Different Mix Designs 

This study investigated the use of oil palm shell as an additive for use in concrete. As the construction industry searches for methods to increase sustainability, using by-products produced by other industries to reduce the amount of cement required to produce concrete has become more popular, Oil palm shell is available in large quantities as an industrial waste product, is lightweight, and has the potential to help with thermal insulation. ...
