Subject and Keywords:

thermal insulation ; effective thermal conductivity ; rigid polymer foam ; mathematical model ; structure of used polymer foams ; analysis of experimental data

Abstract:

In the paper the authors present the effectiveness of the generalized thermal conductivity method for polymer foams, including modelling their geometrical structure. Calculations of the effective thermal conductivity coefficient are based on the generally accepted assumption of the additivity of different thermal exchange mechanisms in porous media and this coefficient is presented as a sum the coefficients of conductive, radiative, and convective thermal conductivity. ; However, in literature not enough attention is given to relations determined by means of the theory of generalized conductivity, including modelling the geometrical structure. This paper presents an analysis of these relations and verifies their ability to predict experimental data in comparison with the best formulae included in the paper.
