dc.description.abstract | Nano-porous aerogel has an ultra low thermal conductivity and is usually used as the super insulator. To evaluate the insulation performance of the aerogel, we focus on studying the thermal conductivity of gas phase in the aerogel. We present a modified model to take into account the effect of nonuniform pore-size distribution on the gaseous thermal conductivity, and the present model predicts more agreement results with available data than the existing models. The gaseous thermal conductivity of the aerogel at high temperature gradient condition is also numerically studied. We also study the effect of the thermal transpiration flow on the gaseous thermal conductivity, and the results shows that the thermal transpiration flow effect leads to a reduction of the gaseous thermal conductivity. | en_US |
