A study of the thermophysical characteristics, heat resistance, and thermal erosion resistance of high-temperature structural ceramics (SC), which was developed at NTUU "I. Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" under the supervision of Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Professor P. I. Loboda was made. This high-temperature structural ceramics is intended for use in aerospace engineering, in particular - for the manufacture of aerodynamic surfaces of reusable hypersonic aircraft and heat-stressed elements of the gas-dynamic paths of their engines. The samples of B4C-SiC-B6Si ceramics of two compositions (No. 1 and No. 2) were studied, which differ in the mass content of the initial components. Temperature dependences of the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the spacecraft, radiation coefficient, heat resistance in an oxidizing environment, and the thermal erosion resistance in supersonic flow of combustion products of an air-kerosene fuel mixture were determined. The temperature dependence of the specific heat was determined using an IT-c-400 instrument (in the range of 40 °C - 440 °C) and by the calculation of the temperature dependences of the specific heat capacity of the system components following the Reno rule (up to 2100 °C). The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the SC of composition No. 1 was determined by solving the inverse heat conduction problem on a computer model based on experimental data. Temperature fields and heat fluxes were obtained under conditions of one-sided heat-ing with a reducing flame of a propane-oxygen welding burner. The thermal conductivity coefficient of SC composition No. 1 increases from 11 W/(m×K) at 20 °С to 25 W/(m×K) at 1400 °С. Its radiation coefficient in the temperature range 1000 °С - 1400 °С is ε = 0.96 ± 0.02. Heat resistance of SC of both compositions in the oxidizing flame of an oxygen welding burner at a surface temperature of 1400 °C has demonstrated that after two hours of heating, the average values of mass ablation for the two tested samples of compositions №1 and № 2 respectively 2.1% and 1.4% (a sample thickness of 4 mm). Tests in the supersonic flow of combustion products at the same surface temperature confirm the high resistance of the material to thermoerosion in the oxidizing medium. The change in the morphology of the heated surface of the sample after six five-minute heating cycles was manifested only by an increase in its roughness without visible oxidation. High thermal conductivity, heat and thermoerosion resistance, radiation coefficient of the studied SC at a temperature of 1400 °C in combination with low density (2.7 g / cm3) make this high-temperature structural material of aerospace technology promising for use.

Structural Phase Transitions

AbstractThe proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity κ. However, the κ of GeTe increases at the ferroelectric phase transition near 700 K. Using first-principles calculations with the temperature dependent effective potential method, we show that this rise in κ is the consequence of negative thermal expansion in the rhombohedral phase and increase in the phonon lifetimes in the high-symmetry phase. Strong anharmonicity near the phase transition induces non-Lorentzian shapes of the phonon power spectra. To account for these effects, we implement a method of calculating κ based on the Green-Kubo approach and find that the Boltzmann transport equation underestimates κ near the phase transition. Our findings elucidate the influence of structural phase transitions on κ and provide guidance for design of better thermoelectric materials.

AbstractWe performed comparative investigations of the Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Bi, Sb) (x = 0, 0.14, 0.3) system to better understand the roles of Sb and Bi on the thermoelectric properties. In both systems, the electrical conductivity nearly keeps the same values, while the Seebeck coefficient decreases dramatically in going from Sb to Bi. Compared to the lattice thermal conductivity of PbTe, that of AgPb18BiTe20 is substantially reduced. The lattice thermal conductivity of the Bi analog, however, is higher than that of AgPb18SbTe20 and this is attributed largely to the decrease in the degree of mass fluctuation between the nanostructures and the matrix (for the Bi analog). As a result the dimensionless figure of merit ZT of Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Bi) is found to be smaller than that of Ag1-xPb18MTe20 (M = Sb).

Recent Attention

Since prehistoric times, textiles have served an important role–providing necessary protection and comfort. Recently, the rise of electronic textiles (e-textiles) as part of the larger efforts to develop smart textiles, has paved the way for enhancing textile functionalities including sensing, energy harvesting, and active heating and cooling. Recent attention has focused on the integration of thermoelectric (TE) functionalities into textiles—making fabrics capable of either converting body heating into electricity (Seebeck effect) or conversely using electricity to provide next-to-skin heating/cooling (Peltier effect). Various TE materials have been explored, classified broadly into (i) inorganic, (ii) organic, and (iii) hybrid organic-inorganic. TE figure-of-merit (ZT) is commonly used to correlate Seebeck coefficient, electrical and thermal conductivity. For textiles, it is important to think of appropriate materials not just in terms of ZT, but also whether they are flexible, conformable, and easily processable. Commercial TEs usually compromise rigid, sometimes toxic, inorganic materials such as bismuth and lead. For textiles, organic and hybrid TE materials are more appropriate. Carbon-based TE materials have been especially attractive since graphene and carbon nanotubes have excellent transport properties with easy modifications to create TE materials with high ZT and textile compatibility. This review focuses on flexible TE materials and their integration into textiles.

Physical Fields

The present contribution aims to address a problem of thermoviscoelasticity for the analysis of the transition temperature and thermal stresses in an infinitely circular annular cylinder. The inner surface is traction-free and subjected to thermal shock heating, while the outer surface is thermally insulated and free of traction. In this work, in contrast to the various problems in which the thermal conductivity coefficient is considered to be fixed, this parameter is assumed to be variable depending on the temperature change. The problem is studied by presenting a new generalized thermoelastic model of thermal conductivity described by the Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation. The new model can be constructed by incorporating the relaxation time thermal model with the Green–Naghdi type III model. The Laplace transformation technique is used to obtain the exact expressions for the radial displacement, temperature and the distributions of thermal stresses. The effects of angular velocity, viscous parameter, and variance in thermal properties are also displayed to explain the comparisons of the physical fields.

When designing advanced samples of aviation and rocket and space technology, during the operation of which the temperature on the surface of the material can exceed the temperature of destruction, it is important to have an understanding of the values of thermophysical properties. The work investigates the thermophysical properties of fiberglass in the initial state and after the binder is burned out in a muffle furnace. The temperature dependences of thermal effects, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity were determined, density was measured, and thermogravimetric analysis was carried out. Using a stereomicroscope, the microstructure of the lateral cut of the samples was examined and its evolution was determined during the burning of the binder.
