Abstract: By using αand/or βSiC powders, the effects of initial αphase content on the microstructure and thermal properties of the SiC ceramics sintered with Y 2 O 3 and Sc 2 O 3 were investigated. When αSiC powder was used, the microstructure consisted of large equiaxed grains and small equiaxed grains.

Furthermore, the OPSFGC17 and OPSNFGC exhibited 'fair' quality concrete with UPV values of more than 3 km/s. In accordance with . RILEM (1983), OPSFGC13 and OPSFGC15 can be categorized as structural and insulating concrete – ClassII with strength and thermal conductivity of 8 and 13 MPa, and and W/mK, correspondingly.

By linking the microstructure and thermal properties of hierarchical materials, an efficient framework is available for optimizing the material design to improve thermal efficiency of a wide variety of heterogeneous materials.

Introduction. The thermal conductivity of a material is highly dependent on composition and structure. Generally speaking, dense materials such as metals and stone are good conductors of heat, while low density substances such as gas and porous insulation are poor conductors of heat.

Different weight percentage (0%, 2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) of recycled glass bottle were use in this research to be replaced by a certain percentages of cement. Thermal conductivity was studied for prepared samples.

Concrete and masonry technologies can contain complex configurations of thermal insulation (Kosny et al. 1998). For most CMUs made of normal weight concrete of density between 1,9202,240 kg/m3, the thermal conductivity of concrete can be 20 times higher than that of insulation.

Thermal resistivity and conductivity. Thermal resistance is the ability of a material to resist flow of heat. Thermal conductivity k is the property of a material indicating its ability to conduct heat.

Spectral reflectance was measured on a UVVisibleNIR spectrophotometer between 250 and 2500 nm, while thermal conductivity was determined by using a thermal conductivity analyzer. CPB morphological characteristics and microstructure were examined by scanning electron microscopy.

conductivity is influenced by the cement used, because the chemical composition of cement administers the quantity of ions present in the water. Most of the admixtures used do not increase the electrical conductivity of concrete significantly. Electrical conductivity measurement Concrete is a heterogeneous mixture with an interconnected pore network.

Model PbTe‐based thermoelectric materials that exhibit very low lattice thermal conductivity have been chosen for this microstructure–thermal conductivity correlation study. The nominal PbTe S composition spinodally decomposes into two phases: PbTe and PbS. Orderly misfit dislocations, incomplete relaxed strain, and structure ...

Electrical and Thermal Conductivity Pure copper is a very good conductor of both electricity and heat. The International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS; a high purity copper with a resistivity of Ohmcm) is still sometimes used as an electrical conductivity standard for metals.

The analysis is done with respect to two main hygric and thermal properties, respectively: sorption isotherms, water vapor permeability, thermal conductivity and heat capacity. In fact, most of these parameters are very susceptible to change function of the age of the material.

The dimension of thermal conductivity is M 1 L 1 T −3 Θ −1, expressed in terms of the dimensions mass (M), length (L), time (T), and temperature (Θ). Other units which are closely related to the thermal conductivity are in common use in the construction and textile industries.
