Results are presented for experimental studies of the thermal conductivity of expanded vermiculite. Tests are performed in an experimental test unit by a steady-state heat flux. Thermal studies are carried out in the range 300 -1100 K. It is shown that thermal conductivity increases uniformly with an increase in temperature. The most probable reason for an increase in thermal conductivity is the effect of heat radiation. Results are provided for an approximate second power polynomial.
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.
