Abstract:
Vacuum insulation panels (VIP) currently belong to a group of so-called super-insulating materials. These are special products with an extremely low equivalent value of the thermal conductivity coefficient. Despite this fact, the use of VIP in the construction industry is rather problematic. The main issue is the relatively complicated VIP integration into building structures, as well as the limited VIP durability. The issue of durability is also one of the main topics of VIP development and research in this field. The paper describes the possibilities of using CaO to increase the durability of vacuum insulation panels.

Abstract:
The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin was used as a basic material of refrigerant in insulating packaging. The influence of the amount of initiator on water absorption ability of starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin was investigated. When the amount of initiator is 4 percent of the starch, the resin's water absorption that is 230g/g displays the best. By adding NaCl solution, the phase change temperature of refrigerant can be conditioned. The experimental results show that the phase change temperature and the latent heat of refrigerant decrease as the NaCl solution concentration increases. The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin and the NaCl solution with the concentration of 0~5 percent as refrigerant can be used to transport the products whose required temperatures is between -4 and 0°C. The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin can replace the ordinary high polymer materials, playing the role of being easily biodegradable and friendly to environment.

Abstract This research demonstrates the neutrality of greenhouse gases with the application of hemp blessed as a simple natural filler for fabric materials, which absorbs greenhouse gaseous like CO2, CO and NOx. Notably in our research hempcrete drafted as heat-insulating dressing material throughout the load-bearing core of panel structures, Hemp,chrysopogen zizanoides used in homes with the extension of bonding bicomponent (hydraulic lime). Our research focusses on Lime-hemp, a lime-vetiver matter, an innovative idea and heat-insulating substance that enhanced greenhouse gas sequestration and enhance heat insulation like artificial materials. It gives super fragrance along its lifetime, Hempcrete is a mixture of hemp, lime hydrate, and water. This is recyclable stuff that contributes tremendous warmth and sound insulation. The most significant fact in the improvement is that it accelerates the setting of lime. Specifically, Hempcrete develops rather swiftly to absorb greenhouse gases, enhance heat insulation. Our main objective was achieved in this novel research by natural additives when blended with lime with around 96% greenhouse gas sequestration from panels made by natural additives. The emissions are checked with AVL 5 gas analyser and the temperature of the materials during the operation by IR temperature gun. It is also observed thatt by using these panels, we can enhance the heat insulation also which is an additional advantage of using the natural additives.

Abstract:
Within this study, monolithic three-dimensional silica aerogel (SA) composite parts with super insulating properties are presented. A generic part based on fiber-reinforced (FR) silica aerogel for thermal insulation of the exhaust tubing system—to keep the exhaust gases as hot as possible to improve the efficiency of the catalyst system—was produced via a sol-gel-based molding process in combination with a supercritical drying using scCO2. A thermal conductivity of 16 mW m−1 K−1 was measured via a heat flow meter technique. In this manuscript, we present a full cycle of the material compound design, starting with fundamental material evaluation including aerogel optimization, opacifier influence, and casting process. The obtained generic part in shape of a half-shell for pipe insulation is characterized under real conditions.

Abstract:
The durability of polymeric materials is closely linked to their degradation under specific operating conditions when different stressors—general or specific, such as high temperature, sunlight or ionizing radiation, solvents, or mechanical stresses—act simultaneously, causing degradation. In the case of electrical cables, the durability of the electrically insulating materials used in their construction is an important parameter to ensure their operational security. In this work, we studied the degradation state of various types of electrical insulating materials from cables used in particle acceleration systems under European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) conditions (e.g., Super Proton Synchrotron, SPS) as a function of time and irradiation dose. A simple kinetic model was proposed based on the exponential decrease in the antioxidant amount in polymeric insulations. The onset oxidation time (OIT) values, used as an indicator of antioxidant concentration, were obtained from isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and chemiluminescence (CL) measurements. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements were used to assess the degradation state and identify polymeric materials. The practical applicability of such a model in diagnosing degradation and in the subsequent evaluation of the remaining service life is of interest, as it can be adapted to a broad range of operating conditions and materials.

Abstract:
In a global energy-saving policy, Super Insulating Materials (SIMs) represent an effective solution, especially in a world almost saturated with old buildings for which energy refurbishments are needed. Given their extremely low thermal conductivity, they allow reaching an excellent insulation level, with reduced thicknesses. Anyway, they are recent materials or at least recent insulation solutions for the building sector. And as all the new technologies, they bring with them some critical issues to be solved. For example, what is the accuracy of their available thermal conductivity, what are the criteria for their optimal laboratory characterisation, what are their actual thermal performances in situ and how long is their durability and what is their practical convenience still remain open questions. The aim of this research was to provide an answer to these questions, although sometimes in a preliminary way. Therefore, the thermal properties of SIMs (and in particular of the Vacuum Insulation Panels, since, between the SIMs they are the most performing and the most critical solution) were explored at different levels, from the material/panel scale to the building scale. SIMs are actually laboratory tested using traditional experimental apparatuses, such as the Heat Flow Meter (HFM) and the Guarded Hot Plate (GHP), and in accordance with as traditional standard, developed for the most common insulating material. Indeed, at the first stage of this research, the applicability of the current methodologies was extensively verified, with an in-depth analysis of the obtainable measurement uncertainties. The uncertainty assessment was performed in three different ways, to analyse the various scenarios that may occur: a theoretical standard based uncertainty evaluation, and both the Type A and Type B experimental uncertainty assessment. Once defined the best criteria for a proper evaluation of the SIMs thermal properties, they were experimentally characterised, considering the different parameters which could have some effects on their thermal behaviour (different thicknesses, average testing temperature, temperature difference, ageing conditions and so on). In practical applications of the VIPs, they must be assembled one to each other: innovatively, both the HFM and GHP apparatuses were also used for the evaluation of the linear thermal transmittance of the thermal bridges that occur in case of VIPs assemblies. The investigation performed at the material/panel level were then repeated at the component scale, to evaluate the variability and the measurement uncertainty of the linear thermal transmittance. The so defined thermal performances represented a reliable pool of input data for the dynamic hygrothermal simulations at the building scale. The goals were the evaluation of the energy efficiency of building insulated with SIMs and the prediction of the durability of these materials (considering different severities of the building envelope component boundary conditions). The outputs of the numerical simulations were then coupled with an economic analysis, to evaluate the convenience of VIP insulation, in terms of discounted pay-back period.

Abstract:
In EU almost 40% of the final energy use is consumed by the building sector. In particular, ~ 83% of existing buildings were built before 1991 when poor or no-energy regulations were applied. For this reason, pushing towards deep renovations of the existing building stock, which has an important energy saving potential, can be one of the best solutions to address the next targets of 40% reduction of the emissions until 2030 (Paris Agreement). Among the retrofit interventions, the renovation of building envelopes seems to be one of the most effective practice. Nevertheless, the intervention on building envelope presents several issues, since space saving, technological and historical compatibility represent important barriers which limit the large diffusion of envelope retrofit intervention. In the thesis four different advanced materials were deeply investigated: Super Insulating Materials, Advanced Thermal Plasters, Phase Change Materials, and Low Emittance Materials. These materials start to be attractive since they seem to be particularly suitable for all the cases in which usual envelope retrofit techniques cannot be adopted. Their high potential is mainly related to the high thermal performance (thermal insulation or storage capability) they are able to provide with lower thickness and less use of space if compared to traditional materials. Unfortunately, the building sector is a conservative market, and as a consequence, despite the great potentials of advanced materials, they are still poorly adopted, because of the high costs, the short durability (concerning the building lifetime) and the lack of knowledge about their actual thermal behaviour. The aim of the thesis is to overcome the barriers that limit the use of these advanced materials in buildings, providing methodologies, tools, data and guidelines related to their application in energy retrofit interventions on opaque building envelope components. For this reasons the research activities were focused on experimental (in lab and in-field) analyses and on numerical modelling. For each Advanced Material, the investigations were carried out at different scales: material, component and building scale. At material scale, laboratory assessment of the thermal performance and development of new testing procedures were carried out by using a Heat Flow Meter Apparatus. At building component scale, laboratory experiments using a double climatic chamber (Building Envelope Test cell) were performed. Moreover, each presented technology was installed in a real case study (demonstration buildings) and its performance was monitored under actual operating conditions. The results of the in-lab and in-field experimental activities were used for the empirical validation of different simulation software. Moreover, the validated models were used to test different design alternatives that allow defining new guidelines for the proper design of envelope retrofit making use of advanced materials. In the last phase, the analyses allowed to scale up from the component level to the building/room level, so to identify and to demonstrate the effects/benefits achievable through the adoption of the proposed advanced materials on IEQ and energy demand, in comparison to usual and conventional solutions.

Abstract:
Due to factors such as rising energy costs, diminishing resources, and climate change, the demand for high performance buildings is on the rise. As a result, several new building standards have emerged including the Passive House Standard, a rigorous energy-use standard based on a super-insulated and very tightly sealed building envelope. The standard requires that that air infiltration is less than or equal to 0.6 air changes per hour at a 50 Pascal pressure difference, annual heating energy is less than or equal to 15kWh/m2, and total annual source energy is less than or equal to 120 kWh/m2. A common complaint about passive houses is that they tend to overheat. Prior research using simulation suggests that the use of Phase Change Materials (PCMs), which store heat as they melt and release heat as the freeze, can reduce the number of overheated hours and improve thermal comfort. In this study, an actual passive house duplex in Southeast Portland was thoroughly instrumented to monitor various air and surface temperatures. One unit contains 130kg of PCM while the other unit contains no PCM to serve as an experimental control. The performance of the PCM was evaluated through analysis of observed data and through additional simulation using an EnergyPlus model validated with observed data. The study found that installation of the PCM had a positive effect on thermal comfort, reducing the estimated overheated hours from about 400 to 200.

Abstract:
Le but de ce travail de thèse est de développer des aérogels biosourcés, mécaniquement résistants et thermiquement très isolants (voire super-isolants). Les aérogels à base de cellulose, souvent appelés " aérocelluloses ", sont connus pour être très poreux et extrêmement légers. Ils présentent en revanche une grande dispersion de tailles de pores, donnant de propriétés thermiques relativement modestes. Nous avons étudié plusieurs approches pour améliorer la morphologie des aérocelluloses: la modification du solvant, la réticulation chimique de la cellulose et la formation d'hybrides avec d'autres polymères. La réticulation de la cellulose a réellement permis d'affiner la structure poreuse de l'aérocellulose vers une nano-structuration ce qui a amélioré la conductivité thermique, s'approchant du domaine de la super-isolation (0.026 W.m-1.K-1). Un autre polysaccharide, la pectine, a été utilisé pour préparer un aérogel également poreux et très léger, " l'aéropectine ". L'aéropectine et l'aérocellulose présentent de fortes similitudes dans leur morphologie. Cependant, l'aéropectine possède de meilleures propriétés thermiques, super-isolantes (0.020 W.m-1.K-1), grâce à la nano-structuration du réseau poreux. Ces aérogels sont 100% biosourcés avec un faible impact environnemental, et sont très prometteurs non seulement pour l'isolation thermique mais également pour de nombreuses autres applications, telle que la libération contrôlée de médicaments ou la catalyse. La formation d'aérogel de silice à l'intérieur de la structure poreuse d'aéropectine a augmenté la surface spécifique jusqu'à 700 m2/g et a permis de diminuer la conductivité thermique (0.017 W.m-1.K-1).

Abstract:
En Europe, le secteur du bâtiment est le plus énergivore et représente environ 40 % de l’énergie totale consommée. A court terme, la façon la plus efficace de baisser cette consommation est de réduire les déperditions thermiques à travers l’enveloppe du bâtiment en augmentant son isolation thermique, tout en minimisant la perte de surface habitable. Dans ce contexte, les travaux de thèse portent sur l’étude et la mise au point pour pré-industrialisation de matériaux super-isolants composites à base d'aérogel de silice. Le matériau composite étudié fait partie de la famille des blankets aérogels et est obtenu via un procédé de séchage ambiant innovant. Grâce à leur faible conductivité thermique et leurs propriétés mécaniques renforcées, les blankets aérogels sont d’un grand intérêt pour l’isolation thermique qui nécessite de fines épaisseurs d’isolants. Les travaux de thèse visent dans un premier temps à effectuer une analyse des propriétés thermophysiques des blankets aérogels étudiés à la sortie du moule de fabrication et vis-à-vis de leur mise en œuvre lorsqu’ils sont soumis à différentes sollicitations (mécaniques, hygriques ...). Des travaux de modélisation du transfert de chaleur dans le blanket aérogel sont développés afin d’étudier les relations entre le transfert thermique et les paramètres morphologiques du matériau. Dans un second temps, les travaux de thèse portent sur l’étude des performances à attendre d’un système d’isolation basé sur le blanket aérogel mis en œuvre sur un bâtiment, à la fois par l’analyse du comportement thermique d’une cellule test en climat réel, ainsi que par la conduite de simulations numériques de bâtiments prenant en compte plusieurs techniques constructives, configurations de murs, et ce, pour plusieurs climats européens. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les blankets aérogels étudiés ont une très faible conductivité thermique –0,016 W.m-1.K-1– et ont un fort potentiel d’application dans l’isolation thermique du bâtiment
Buildings are the largest energy end-use sector and account for about 40 % of the total final energy consumption in the EU-28. A short-term strategy to efficiently reduce this consumption is to decrease thermal losses through the building envelope by improving its thermal insulation, while minimizing the reduction of the available indoor living space. In this context, the thesis deals with the study and development for pre-industrialization of super-insulating composite materials based on silica aerogel. The studied material is part of the aerogel blanket family and is obtained by an innovative ambient drying process. With a very low thermal conductivity and reinforced mechanical properties, aerogel blankets are of great interest for applications where they can offer a cost advantage due to a space-saving effect. Firstly, the thesis work aims at performing analyses of the thermo-physical properties of the studied aerogel blankets at the exit of the molding and drying processes, and during application, when they are subjected to different environmental stresses (mechanical, hygric …). Heat transfer modeling is developed to study the relationship between the morphological parameters of the material and thermal transfer within it. Secondly, the thesis work focuses on the study of the expected performances of an insulating system based on the aerogel blanket, by the study of the thermal behavior of an experimental building monitored under actual climate, as well as the use of whole building energy numerical simulations taking into account several constructive techniques, different wall configurations, for various European climates. The results obtained show that the aerogel blankets studied have a thermal conductivity as low as 0.016 W.m-1.K-1 and have promising applications for building thermal insulation needs

The building energy depletion is the high percentage in the energy depletion of the whole world. Thermal insulation materials are important subject to save energy, and enhance the building function. This research work was using sodium silicate solution as raw materials, sodium aluminate and potassium hydroxide solution with different molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 were than added and the geopolymer gel was formed. The gel was heated during 100 – 400 ℃, thus porous and super light-weight thermal insulation materials were obtained. The gel would not foam until temperature reached 300℃. With increasing the molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3, the density and compressive strength were decreased. When molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 was 20, a insulation material with 0.057 W/mK thermal conductivity can be obtained.

Abstract:
Test results indicate that brucite fibers could be well dispersed by using OT as the dispersant at the water/solid ratio of 20:1, at the dosage of 15% of fiber quality and in the dispersing duration of 30 minutes. The prepared nanofibers were characterized with a scan electron microscope (SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Test results indicate that the prepared single brucite nanofiber was around 30nm long in diameter and the talus of non-single brucite nanofibers was about 50nm∼150nm long in diameter. Brucite nanofibers may be used as a fortifier for compound such as the SiO2 aerogel super insulating materials. Since brucite is also an excellent fire retardant, brucite nanofibers are expected to be used widely in the high-molecular materials sector.

Abstract:
The need for improved thermal efficiency of jet engines has led to changes in the design of combustor turbine blades. Modern turbine stage inlet temperatures now exceed the melting point temperatures of turbine blade materials. Super alloys, based on nickel, have been developed for use as blades, guide vanes, afterburners etc. To combat and avert blade failure caused by excessive operating temperatures, film cooling has been incorporated into blade design. In film cooling, cool air is bled from the compressor stage, ducted into internal chambers of the turbine blades, and discharged through small holes in the blade walls. This provides a thin, cool, insulating blanket along the external surface of the turbine blade. Large numbers of shaped holes have allowed designers to maximize the cooling effect. This paper explores a new design for measuring the presence and depth of blind holes in turbine blade. In the paper, we examine the inspection techniques currently in use and present a novel optical technique as an alternative. To precisely control the location of the holes on the turbine blade, an XYZ inspection stage is employed. Using a small collimating tube, a micro-beam illuminates each hole in a pre-programmed fashion. Depending on the level of reflected intensity and when it occurs, the presence of a hole bottom is determined. The optical inspection system consists of a laser, motorized micropositioning stage, collimating tubes, data acquisition software and a customized fixture for manipulating the samples.

Abstract:
A novel physical approach based on relative mutual independence of absorption and scattering properties of weakly-absorbing materials is formulated. The resulting simplifications in both experimental characterization and theoretical modeling of spectral properties of dispersed materials are discussed in some details. The suggested approach is verified using the published experimental data for materials of different nature. It is shown that the methods developed enable us to simplify radically the identification procedure for material properties, determine extremely low absorption coefficients of the bulk substance from the measurements for highly-scattering porous material, and estimate the effect of non-uniform distribution of adsorbed water on scattering characteristics of nano-porous super-insulations.

Abstract:
This paper reports on an improved model of coupled heat and moisture transfer with phase change and mobile condensates in fibrous insulation. The new model considered the moisture movement induced by the partial water vapor pressure, a super saturation state in condensing region as well as the dynamic moisture absorption of fibrous materials and the movement of liquid condensates. The results of the new model were compared and found in good agreement with the experimental ones. Numerical simulation was carried using the model to investigate the effect of various material parameters on the transport phenomena.

Abstract:
Designing of compact electronic and electrical instruments needs the development of high efficient thermal and electrical management fluids. Recent advances in layered materials enable large scale synthesis of diverse two-dimensional (2D) structures. Some of these 2D materials are good choices as nanofillers in heat/electrical energy transfer fluids; mainly due to their high surface area available for energy conduction. Among various 2D nanostructures, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) or graphene (G) exhibit versatile properties such as outstanding thermal conductivity (TC), excellent mechanical stability, and remarkable chemical inertness. These 2D nanostructures have been used to create composite fluids for diverse thermal management applications, such as microelectronics, high voltage power transmission systems, automobiles, solar cells, biopharmaceuticals, medical therapy/diagnosis, and nuclear cooling, among others. The ever increasing thermal loads in applications now require advanced operational fluids, like high TC dielectric insulating fluids for electrical transformers. These fluids require superb filler dispersion, high thermal conduction, as well as electrical insulation. Such thermal oils that conform to this thermal/electrical requirement, and yet remain in highly suspended stable state, have not yet been synthesized. We discuss the synthesis and characterization of stable high TC and electrically conducting and non-conducting Newtonian nanofluids using liquid exfoliated layers of h-BN and G in dielectric mineral oil.
