In a number of industries, porous insulations have been frequently used, reducing thermal insulation space through excellent performance of the thermal insulation's characteristics. This paper suggests an effective thermal conductivity prediction model. Firstly, we perform a literature review of traditional effective thermal conductivity prediction models and compare each model with experimental heat transfer results. Furthermore, this research defines the effectiveness of thermal conductivity prediction models using experimental heat transfer results and the Zehner-Schlunder model. The newly defined effective thermal conductivity prediction model has been verified to better predict performance than other models. Finally, this research performs a transient heat transfer analysis of a thermal protection system with a porous insulation in a high speed vehicle using the finite element method and confirms the validity of the effective thermal conductivity prediction model.

A set of measurements has been made for the thermal conductivity of the pure paraffin in liquid and solid phases and for the effective thermal conductivity of the paraffin with metal scrap with the aid of the heat flux meter. Ther thermopile-type heat flux meter has been designed by steady state method and the functional relation between the temperature difference of both sides and heat flux has been obtained. The measured values of thermal conductivity are compared with the existing data for the pure paraffin and with the predicated values from the suggested model in which only one empirical constant is contained. The comparison within ten percent of the volume fraction of the metal scrap in the paraffin is satisfactory.

Effective thermal conductivity of the porous nuclear fuel has been investigated numerically. Difficulties associated with irregular shape of pore have been overcome by using the Body Fitted Coordinate Systems. A computer code has been developed to solve the governing equation with appropriate boundary conditions by transforming from the Cartesian coordinates to the nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinates. The effects of the porosity have been investigated. For a convenient use of the result, a correlation equation was suggested under the assumption of circular pore. The computation results by the assumption of randomly oriented elliptic pore has been agreed more closely to existing experimental result than that by the assumption of circular pore.

The objective of this study is the estimation of the two unknown thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity by an inverse heat conduction analysis using the Levenberg-Marguardt method. One dimensional formulation of heat conduction problem in the model was applied. Two point transient temperature of test pieces and heat flux of inflow were measured under the high enthalpy flow environment. Estimated thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity by an inverse analysis were compared with the known values of graphite test piece. It showed the effectiveness of proposed experimental inverse analysis.

A new class of heat transfer fluid with higher thermal conductivity, called nanofluids has been developed by Dr. S. Choi about decade ago. Many exciting experimental and theoretical results have been reported worldwide to predict the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids, however, they sometimes show excessive large discrepancies between each other. This kind of disagreements in thermal conductivity data is partly ascribable to the accuracy of the measuring apparatus, that is, mostly used THM(transient hot-wire method). New thermal conductivity measuring method whose principle is different from that of conventional THM is proposed in this article and measurements and uncertainty analysis were made for the three nanofluid samples with different particle concentration of pure, 2% and 4% of AlN nanofluids.

This paper presents an experimental measurement of effective thermal conductivity in an adsorbent packed bed with silica gel A type. The effective thermal conductivity was measured under different conditions of the adsorbent bed temperature, pressure, particle size and water content by using the transient hot wire method. The measured effective thermal conductivity showed to become bigger with decreasing particle size or increasing water content, but it was a little affected with increasing bed temperature and pressure. The bed temperature was varied in the range of 1$0^{\circ}C$ (equation omitted) T (equation omitted) 5$0^{\circ}C$ and the pressure in the range of 10 kPa (equation omitted) P (equation omitted) 190 kPa. The results show that 0.10～0.18 W/mㆍK of effective thermal conductivity measured for the zero water content.

일반적으로 섬광법으로 열전도율을 구하기 위해서는 섬광법으로 열확산계수를 측정하고, 시차주사열량계(Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC)로 비열측정을 하며 아르키메데스의 원리를 이용한 용적밀도를 구하여 이들 각각의 값을 사용하여 열전도율을 얻는다. 따라서 열전도율을 정밀하게 측정하기 위해서는 이 세 가지 물성치를 측정할 때 수반되는 오차요인을 종합적으로 검토하여 개선하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 섬광법으로 열확산계수를 측정할 때 시료의 전면에 조사되는 빛의 흡수율을 향상시키고 배면에서의 온도상승의 감지를 증대할 목적으로 시료 양면에 흑연코팅을 하게 된다. 이때 코팅된 흑연이 시료에 부가적으로 열저항을 증가시켜서 열확산계수를 측정하는데 가장 큰 오차요인이 되고 있다. 한편 비열은 대부분 DSC로 측정하는데, 시료와 용기의 열접촉 정도에 따라 큰 오차요인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 열확산계수를 정밀하게 측정하기 위해서 시료에 부가적인 열저항으로 작용하는 흑연코팅의 두께와 시료배면에서의 온도상승곡선 간의 상관관계를 실험식으로 도출하였으며 이방법은 열확산계수를 정밀하게 측정하는데 매우 유효한 방법임이 입증되었다. 또한 DSC의 접촉에서의 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 시료배면에서의 무차원 시간축(t/$t_{max}$)을 도입하였으며. 무차원 시간축에 따른 온도상승 곡선에서 표준시료와 측정시료의 half time($t_{1/2}$)의 0.5 배와 1.5배 사이 구간을 적분한 뒤 비교하여 열량계산으로부터 비열을 구하는 방법을 새롭게 개발하였으며 기존의 DSC에 비하여 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 결론적으로 새롭게 제안된 측정기법들은 열확산계수 및 비열 혹정 시의 근본적인 오차요인을 혁신적으로 해결함으로써 정밀하고 신뢰성 있는 열전도율을 측정할 수 있음을 입증할 수 있었다.

A new method measuring thermal conductivity of fluids is proposed in this research. It is based on the steady state heat transfer from a hot central cylinder to a cold outer cylinder located concentrically. This method guarantees more stable measurement than conventional THM(transient hot-wire method) due to its simplicity of theoretical principle. Measurements was made for the three nanofluid samples with different particle concentration of pure, 2% and 4%. Nanofluids are made by mixing the pure transformer oil with AlN nano particles. Design of the sensor module and experimental procedures are explained and comparison of the measuring data between present method and THM was made in detail.

This paper describes the thermal contact resistance and its effect on the performance of thermal interface material. An ASTM D 5470 based apparatus is used to measure the thermal interface resistance. Bulk thermal conductivity of different interface material is measured and compared with manufacturers' data. Also, the effect of grease void in the contact surface is investigated using the same apparatus. The flat type thermal interface tester is proposed and compared with conventional one to consider the effect of lateral heat flow. The results show that bulk thermal conductivity alone is not the basis to select the interface material because high bulk thermal conductivity interface material can have high thermal contact resistance, and that the center voiding affects the thermal interface resistance seriously. On the aspect of heat flow direction, thermal impedance of the lateral heat flow shows higher than that of the longitudinal heat flow by sixteen percent.
