background image

Rate of heat conduction

in a specified direction:

- proportional to the temperature gradient

- three-dimensional (3D)

Heat conduction

in a medium:

- steady (T = const with time at any point within the

medium) or unsteady (transient) (T

const)

- one-dimensional (when conduction is significant only

in 1D) or 2D / 3D

Heat transfer

has direction and magnitude

vector character

Problem: Temperature distribution in the wall

background image

Superinsulations

- by using layers of highly reflective sheets

separated by glass fibers in an evacuated space.

Radiation heat transfer between two surfaces is inversely proportional
to the number of sheets used and thus heat loss by radiation will be
very low by using this highly reflective sheets.

At the same time, evacuating the space between the layers forms a
vacuum under 0.000001 atm pressure which minimize conduction or
convection through the air space between the layers.

Technology of insulation

Ordinary insulations

- by mixing fibers, powders, or flakes of

insulating materials with air.

Heat transfer through such insulations is by conduction through
the solid material, and conduction or convection through the air
space as well as radiation.

Such systems are characterized by

apparent thermal conductivity

instead of the ordinary thermal conductivity in order to incorporate
these convection and radiation effects.
