This study presents results of investigation on anisotropy thermal conductivity masonry bricks. Few anisotropic properties were presented in literature. Most them focused the measurement across sample thickness only or additionally one direction. In this work, conductivities three types bricks determined with an indirect method which involved measurements diffusivity, specific heat and density. The diffusivity ceramic has been measured using flash technique while differential scanning...
The paper tackles the important problem of estimating and predicting thermal conductivity bio-based building materials that can help decarbonize sector. Knowledge possibility to optimize their insulating properties is first criterion for determining ability use in novel yet not well-studied hemp shives magnesium binder composites with improved mass by microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) were considered. samples without PCM having different densities as well amounts same density...
In the proposed paper, non-equilibrium and equilibrium models of heat moisture transfer through wet building materials are presented compared. former, mass between liquid gaseous results from difference partial pressure water vapor its saturation value. second model, both phases is assumed. can be in continuous (funicular) or discontinuous (pendular) form. The for each model tightly coupled with energy transfer, which assumed to an process. time step grid size sensitivity analysis numerical...
