Intumescent Coatings

Accidental fire is a major concern in terms of safety of infrastructures and human lives. With the technological advancement, several novel methods are developed for minimizing the damages caused by the fire. One of the methods is to paint the base metals/ material with fire retardant coatings which can increase the lead time so that economic destruction and loss of human lives can be avoided. In this work, the performance of the intumescent coating (passive type fire retardant coatings) is studied with the help of cone calorimeter and open pool diesel fire as sources of heat. The transient temperature distribution for bare Stainless Steel 310 plate suggests that the cone calorimeter experiments alone cannot suffice for mimicking real life conditions. Comparison of the behavior of the available paints in cone calorimeter and open pool fire confirms that the performance of intumescent coatings in cone calorimeter is very different from that in open pool fire. The safe initial thickness of the intumescent coating is a function of heat release rate of the source. The effective thermal conductivity of the intumescent coatings is evaluated using one dimensional conduction heat equation with constant boundary temperature condition.

Abstract We have developed optical-interference contactless thermometry (OICT) imaging technique to visualize three-dimensional transient temperature distribution in 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) under operation. When a 1 ms forward pulse bias was applied, clear variation of optical interference fringes induced by self-heating and cooling were observed. Thermal diffusion and optical analysis revealed three-dimensional temperature distribution with high spatial (≤ 10 μm) and temporal (≤ 100 μs) resolutions. A hot spot that signals breakdown of the SBD was successfully captured as an anormal interference, which indicated a local heating to a temperature as high as 805 K at the time of failure.

An exact integral solution for transient temperature distribution, due to injection-production, in a heterogeneous porous confined geothermal reservoir, is presented in this paper. The heat transport processes taken into account are advection, longitudinal conduction and conduction to the confining rock layers due to the vertical temperature gradient. A quasi 2D heat transport equation in a semi-infinite porous media is solved using the Laplace transform. The internal heterogeneity of the geothermal reservoir is expressed by spatial variation of the flow velocity and the effective thermal conductivity of the medium. The model results predict the transient temperature distribution and thermal-front movement in a geothermal reservoir and the confining rocks. Another transient solution is also derived, assuming that longitudinal conduction in the geothermal aquifer is negligible. Steady-state solutions are presented, which determine the maximum penetration of the cold water thermal front into the geothermal aquifer.

Heat Transfer Theory

Tunnel fire is a part of applied thermal problems. With increase of transient temperature of the tunnel fire on the structure surface (i.e. tunnel lining), the heat transfer from the surface is possibly varying transient temperature distribution within the structure. The transient temperature distribution is also possibly damaging the composition of structure (micro-crack) because of critical damage temperature. Therefore, the transient temperature distribution has a significantly important role on defining mechanical and physical properties of structure and determining thermal-induced damaged region. The damage at pre-period stage of tunnel fire is perhaps more significant than that at the other period stages because of thermal gradient. Consequently, a theoretical model was developed for simplifying complicated thermal engineering during pre-period stage of tunnel fire. A hollow solid model (HSM) in a combination of dimensional analysis and heat transfer theory with Bessel?s Function and Duhamel?s Theorem were employed to verify a theoretical equation for dimensionless transient temperature distribution (DTTD) under linear transient thermal loading (LTTL). Experimental and numerical methods were also adopted to approve the results from this theoretical equation. The heating rate (M) is a primary variable for discussing DTTD on three means. The heating rate of 10.191, 10 and 240?C/min were applied to experimental and numerical studies. The experimental and numerical results are consistent with the theoretical solution, successfully verifying that the theoretical solution can predict the DTTD well in field. This equation can be used for thermal/tunnel engineers to evaluate the damaged region and to obtain the parameters related to DTTD.
