Abstract

The paper presents the adaptation of the modified pulse method for investigating temperature characteristics of thermal diffusivity in the vicinity of the second-order phase transition points. The principle of the adaptation consists in the modified in relation to the original method, development of the characteristics of temperature changes between boundary surfaces of a flat-parallel specimen after the laser shot onto its front surface. The application of this adaptation was illustrated with investigation into thermal diffusivity of nickel (99.9% wt) in the temperature range of 20-380◦C. In all cases the measurement error was less than 3%, and the averaging interval for the measured values of thermal diffusivity was not greater than 1.2 K.

Abstract

In the present paper the structure and thermal properties of europium cerium oxides were investigated. The material for the research was obtained via solid state synthesis. The initial powders: ceria CeO2 and europia Eu2O3 were mixed in 1:1 mass ratio (non-stoichiometric proportion with the excess of CeO2) and milled. The sintering process was performed using high temperature vacuum press at 1350°C. Calorimetric analysis was conducted both for initial powders and milled mixture. The structure, phase composition and thermal diffusivity of obtained material were investigated in as-sintered condition. It was revealed that the obtained material was multi-phase. Non-stoichiometric phases including Ce0.5Eu0.5O1.75 with fluorite type structure and different lattice parameters were present. Thermal diffusivity decreased in the range from 25 to 900°C from 1.49 to 0.57 mm2/s and then increased to 0.70 mm2/s at 1400°C.

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on polymer composites based on polypropylene filled with various fillers. The physical and thermal properties of the composites are the result of the used polymer matrix as well as the properties and geometric features of the used filler. The geometric shape of the filler is particularly important in the processing of plastics in which the flow is forced, and high shearing tension occurs, which determines the high macromolecular orientation and specific arrangement of the filler particles. Thermal analysis (STA) was used in the research and photographs were taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) of fractures of polymer composites. The following fillers were used: talc, fibreglass, glass beads, and a halogen-free nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant. The test material was obtained by extrusion. Shapes for strength tests, which were subjected to scanning microscopy tests after a static tensile test, were obtained by injection. The carried-out tests allowed us to determine the influence of the type and shape of individual fillers on structural changes in the structure of polypropylene composites and the degree of sample weight loss in a specific temperature range, depending on the used filler.

Abstract

This study investigated the suitability of Ijero-Ekiti quartz as a refractory raw material for industrial furnace applications. In order to ascertain its prospective applications, the thermal behaviour, mineralogical composition and chemical composition were determined. Ijero-Ekiti quartz was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal analysis (TGA and DTA). Its thermal conductivity with specific heat coefficient was determined. The outcome revealed that the quartz sample has a high purity of 94.3% SiO 2, making it suitable as a refractory material. The XRD analysis revealed the presence of alpha-quartz as the dominant crystal phase, which is desirable for refractory applications. The FTIR analysis indicated the absence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups. This indicates a low risk of failure and damage such as spalling, cracking and other forms of damage when produced into bricks. The TGA and DTA displayed significant mass losses and large endothermic bands, which were connected to the dehydroxylation of the quartz rock samples. Based on the demonstrated qualities, the quartz rock sample could be subjected to thermal processing. This study therefore established that Ijero-Ekiti quartz is a suitable raw material for refractory applications due to its high purity, alpha-quartz dominant crystal phase, absence of hydroxyl groups, and uniform morphology.

Abstract

Halloysite is a filler which may be used to produce composites with thermoplastic polymer matrix. This work summarized the results of investigations of processing, structural, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composites with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix and raw halloysite (HA) as well as its calcined product (KHA). The effectiveness of calcination was confirmed with X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption method. The PVC composites with HA as well as KHA were processed in the molten state in the Brabender mixer chamber. The reduction of gelation time and simultaneous increase in maximum torque with filler content were found based on the results of plastographometric analysis. SEM images of PVC/halloysite composites showed a homogeneous distribution of the filler in the polymer matrix. The introduction of halloysite leads to a slight increase in Young’s modulus and tensile strength compared to neat PVC, where the increase of both parameters is greater when KHA is used. The incorporation of 1% KHA led to an increase in impact strength, an effect which may be attributed to toughening of the polymer. A slight improvement of the Vicat softening temperature of 2.7°C for PVC/HA and heat deflection temperature of 2.4°C for PVC/KHA was also ascertained for PVC modified with 10 wt% of filler.

Abstract

The article presents the results of investigation of mechanical and thermal properties of lightweight concrete with waste copper slag as fine aggregate. The obtained results were compared with the results of concrete of the same composition in which natural fine aggregate (river sand) was used. The thermal properties tests carried out with the ISOMET 2114 device included determination of the following values: thermal conductivity coefficient, thermal volume capacity and thermal diffusivity. After determining the material density, the specific heat values were also calculated. The thermal parameters were determined in two states of water saturation: on fully saturated material and dried to constant mass at 65°C. Compressive strength, open porosity and bulk density are given as supplementary values. The results of the conducted research indicate that replacing sand with waste copper slag allows to obtain concrete of higher ecological values, with similar mechanical parameters and allowing to obtain significant energy savings in functioning of cubature structures made of it, due to a significantly lower value of thermal conductivity coefficient.

Abstract

The present work investigated the effect of modifying an epoxy resin using two different modifiers. The mechanical and thermal properties were evaluated as a function of modifier type and content. The structure and morphology were also analyzed and related to the measured properties. Polyurethane (PUR) was used as a liquid modifier, while Cloisite Na+ and Nanomer I.28E are solid nanoparticles. Impact strength (IS) of hybrid nanocomposites based on 3.5 wt% PUR and 2 wt% Cloisite or 3.5wt% PUR and 1wt% Nanomer was maximally increased by 55% and 30% respectively compared to the virgin epoxy matrix, exceeding that of the two epoxy/nanoparticle binaries but not that of the epoxy/PUR binary. Furthermore, a maximum increase in IS of approximately 20% compared to the pristine matrix was obtained with the hybrid epoxy nanocomposite containing 0.5 wt% Cloisite and 1 wt% Nanomer, including a synergistic effect, due most likely to specific interactions between the nanoparticles and the epoxy matrix. The addition of polyurethane and nanoclays increased significantly the thermal stability of epoxy composites. However, DSC results showed that the addition of flexible polyurethane chains decreased the glass transition temperatures, while the softening point and the service temperature range of epoxy nanocomposites containing nanofillers were increased. FTIR analysis confirmed the occurrence of interaction between the epoxy matrix and added modifiers. All SEM micrographs showed significant roughness of the fracture surfaces with the formation of elongated platelets, explaining the increase in mechanical properties of the epoxy matrix.

Abstract

The paper presents the application of similarity theory to investigations of transient heat transfer in materials with complex structure. It describes the theoretical-experimental method for identification and design of the structure of two-component composite walls based on the research of the thermal diffusivity for the composite and its matrix separately. The thermal diffusivity was measured by means of the modified flash method. The method was tested on two samples of double-layer ‘epoxy resin – polyamide’. All the investigated samples had the same diameter of 12 mm and thickness ranging from 1.39–2.60 mm and their equivalent value of thermal diffusivity ranging from (1.21–1.98)×10-7m2/s. Testing the method and research on carbon/epoxy composites was carried out at temperatures close to room temperature.

Abstract

Owing to its properties, metallic foams can be used as insulation material. Thermal properties of cast metal-ceramic composite foams have applications in transport vehicles and can act as fire resistant and acoustic insulators of bulkheads. This paper presents basic thermal properties of cast and foamed aluminum, the values of thermal conductivity coefficient of selected gases used in foaming composites and thermal capabilities of composite foams (AlSi11/SiC). A certificate of non-combustibility test of cast aluminum-ceramic foam for marine applications was included inside the paper. The composite foam was prepared by the gas injection method, consisting in direct injection of gas into liquid metal. Foams with closed and open cells were examined. The foams were foaming with foaming gas consisting of nitrogen or air. This work is one of elements of researches connected with description of properties of composite foams. In author's other works acoustic properties of these materials will be presented.

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on selected thermal, mechanical properties, as well as the microscopic structure of filaments and details made on a 3D printer in FDM technology. The materials used in the study were PETG (polyethylene terephthalate doped with glycol) and PLA (polylactide) doped with copper. As part of the study, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was performed in order to determine the temperatures of phase transformations and changes in melting enthalpy values of filaments before the printing process and also elements made of them. The second part of the research was electrocorrosive ageing process of printouts, carried out in the Simulated Body Fluid solution in a device generating 0.3 A direct current, voltage with value 4.3 V for the entire duration of the test, which was 720 h. After this process DSC test was conducted again. The next stage of the research was Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) of printouts before and after electrocorrosive ageing process. This test was carried out to characterize the dynamic-mechanical properties as a function of frequency, temperature and time. Additionally, microscopic analyses of the surfaces of the tested printouts were performed in order to assess the changes after electrolysis.

Abstract

Thermophysical properties of frozen soil have a great influence on the quality of cast-in-place concrete piles. In this paper, the embedded concrete temperature monitoring system is used to test the variation law of the concrete temperature during the construction of the bored pile. Thermophysical properties of permafrost around piles are tested. Based on the theory of three-phase unsteady heat conduction of soil, the influence of specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and latent heat of phase transformation on the temperature change of a concrete pile is systematically studied. The thermal parameter is obtained which exerts the most significant influence on the temperature field. According to the influence degree of frozen soil on pile temperature, the order from high to low is thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, latent heat of phase change, and specific heat capacity. The changes in pile wall temperature caused by the change of these properties range between 2.60–10.97°C, 1.49– 9.39°C, 2.16–2.36°C, and 0.24–3.45°C, respectively. The change percentages of parameters vary between 35.77–47.12%, 12.22–40.20%, 12.46–32.25%, and 3.83–20.31%, respectively. Therefore, when designing and constructing concrete foundation piles, the influence of the thermal conductivity of frozen soil on concrete pile temperature should be considered first. The differences between the simulated and measured temperature along the concrete pile in the frozen soil varying with the respective thermal properties are: –2.99– 7.98°C, –1.89–4.99°C, –1.20–1.99°C, and –1.76–1.27°C. Polyurethane foam and other materials with small thermal conductivity can be added around the pile to achieve pile insulation.
