This article explored the various characteristics of nanostructured pyrochlore La2Zr2O7 fibers. The thermal properties were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) method on a thermal anlyzer instrument at room temperature. It was found that the samples exhibited low thermal conductivities. It was observed that the thermal conductivity of the samples decreased with increasing silica content in the fiber. However, low thermal ...
The thermal conductivities of refractory materials often used in the glass production industry were evaluated experimentally. The transient plane source technique was used for the thermal conductivity testing. Specifically, the single-sided method was used to avoid destroying the refractory materials. The thermal conductivity was measured at various locations and it was discovered that there was a variation in thermal conductivity between the hot and cold faces of the brick....
The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of compressive creep of mullite refractories, which are a potential replacement for more traditional silica refractories in harsh oxy-fuel environments. Tests performed included corrosion resistance, microstructure analysis, dimensional stability, phase content, and thermal properties. A thermal analyzer was used to perform thermal conductivity testing on 10 commercially available mullite refractories as part of the analysis....
