Asphalt concrete must often endure a range of different weather conditions, and its thermal conductivity is affected by these changes. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM), this paper develops a two-dimensional numerical model used to study and predict environmental effects and validates it through experimental ...
Closed cell foams are widely used as protective garments in extreme environments. This article studied the use of neoprene-based materials in wetsuits by developing a strategy for reducing the thermal conductivity of a flexible, closed cell polychloropene foam. The thermal conductivities of the charged and ...
This article studied the potential thermal conductivity deviation of anisotropic materials using a numerical simulation. Anisotropic thermal conductivity may experience deviation due to its noncompliance of the theoretical assumption of the transient plane source (TPS) method. The TPS method was used to measure the in-plane ...
This study examined the temperature that develops in the tool cutting process during rough turning on an experimental basis by using a model for the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tool. The cutting tool temperature has significant effect on the future performance of a tool ...
This article examined the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of reactive packed beds made of hydriding materials. In order to properly design a packed bed of hydriding material, it is vital to know its heat transfer characteristics. The transient temperature profile measurement was performed using the ...
