The thermal conductivity and the deformation of wood from the Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ were studied in the process of heat transfer. The results showed that the average thermal conductivity of this wood was 0.1257 W/(m·K) under the condition of 12% wood moisture content and 30 °C heat transfer temperature. When the testing temperature exceeded 0 °C, the thermal conductivity increased linearly with both temperature and wood moisture content and was affected by the moisture content of the wood. During the heat transfer process, the deformation of features caused repeated swelling and shrinkage in the longitudinal, radial, and tangential directions. The dimensional change was greatly affected by the wood’s moisture content and was less affected by the temperature. These results are of great meaning for the study of the heat transfer process of Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ wood. Furthermore, it provides a scientific basis for the heat preservation effect, drying treatment, and pyrolysis treatment of Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ wood for use as a building material.

Entropy generation is recognized as a common measurement of the irreversibility in diverse processes, and entropy generation minimization has thus been used as the criterion for optimizing various heat transfer cases. To examine the validity of such entropy-based irreversibility measurement and its use as the optimization criterion in heat transfer, both the conserved and non-conservative quantities during a heat transfer process are analysed. A couple of irreversibility measurements, including the newly defined concept entransy , in heat transfer process are discussed according to different objectives. It is demonstrated that although thermal energy is conserved, the accompanied system entransy and entropy in heat transfer process are non-conserved quantities. When the objective of a heat transfer is for heating or cooling, the irreversibility should be measured by the entransy dissipation, whereas for heat-work conversion, the irreversibility should be described by the entropy generation. Next, in Fourier’s Law derivation using the principle of minimum entropy production, the thermal conductivity turns out to be inversely proportional to the square of temperature. Whereas, by using the minimum entransy dissipation principle, Fourier’s Law with a constant thermal conductivity as expected is derived, suggesting that the entransy dissipation is a preferable irreversibility measurement for heat transfer.

The polymer composite material based on polypropylene (PP) matrix and vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCF) as filler was received by the melt-technology. Dependences of the thermal conductivity on the filler mass fraction and temperature were experimentally obtained. Such dependences have a nearly linear character. It is shown that the material heat-conducting properties don’t depend on the sample geometry. It is found out that in case the concentration of VGCF is more than 5% the material can be used for heat removal in electrical and electronic devices. To describe the heat transfer process a model was built based on the multichannel conduction problem. It allows describing the heat transfer process in composite materials with sharply differing heat-conducting properties of the components taking into account such material characteristics as density, heat capacity, heat conduction, and heat flow velocity.

This work is part of a series of articles under the general title The structural design of the blast furnace wall from efficient materials [1–3]. In part 1, Problem statement and calculation prerequisites, typical multilayer enclosing structures of a blast furnace are considered. The layers that make up these structures are described. The main attention is paid to the lining layer. The process of iron smelting and temperature conditions in the characteristic layers of the internal environment of the furnace is briefly described. Based on the theory of A.V. Lykov, the initial equations describing the interrelated transfer of heat and mass in a solid are analyzed in relation to the task – an adequate description of the processes for the purpose of further rational design of the multilayer enclosing structure of the blast furnace. A priori the enclosing structure is considered from a mathematical point of view as the unlimited plate. In part 2, Solving boundary value problems of heat transfer, boundary value problems of heat transfer in individual layers of a structure with different boundary conditions are considered, their solutions, which are basic when developing a mathematical model of a non-stationary heat transfer process in a multi-layer enclosing structure, are given. Part 3 presents a mathematical model of the heat transfer process in the enclosing structure and an algorithm for its implementation. The proposed mathematical model makes it possible to solve a large number of problems. Part 4 presents a number of examples of calculating the heat transfer process in a multilayer blast furnace enclosing structure. The results obtained correlate with the results obtained by other authors, this makes it possible to conclude that the new mathematical model is suitable for solving the problem of rational design of the enclosing structure, as well as to simulate situations that occur at any time interval of operation of the blast furnace enclosure.

The development of a numerical model for analyzing the effect of the nano-particles’ Brownian motion on the heat transfer is described. By using the Maxwell velocity distribution relations to calculate the most possible velocity of fluid molecules at certain temperature gradient location around the nano-particle, the interaction between fluid molecules and one single nano-particle is analyzed and calculated. Based on this, a syntonic system is proposed and the coupled effect that Brownian motion of nano-particles has on fluid molecules is simulated. This is used to formulate a reasonable analytic method, facilitating laboratory study. The results provide the essential features of the heat transfer process, contributed by micro-convection to be considered.
