Objective of study is to determine thermal properties of an insulating material from thermal impedance spectroscopy. Plaster used as binder is less than thermal insulating kapok, however thermal characteristics of kapokplaster material, formed in Semi-conductor laboratory and Solar Energie (UCAD/Senegal), are closer to those of kapok and promotes good thermal insulation. Electrical analogy-Thermal allowed expressing the dynamic thermal impedance of material in dynamic frequency regime. Study of evolution of dynamic impedance starting from representations Nyquist was used to evaluate thermal resistance of material (shunt and serie). A relationship between thermal resistance and thermal conductivity is thus proposed. Influences of exciting frequency and heat transfer coefficient on heat transfer are highlighted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
