Thermal Analysis of Composites to evaluate different properties

The thermal properties of some Agricultural waste (Rice Husk, Bagasse and Corncob) was investigated with the purpose of determining their use as insulators. Using varied composite percentages of each sample wastes at increasing and decreasing quantities to determine best mixtures has assisted in accurate recommendation. The work has explored the potentials for using composite samples of Rice Husk, Bagasse and Corncob as materials for thermal insulation, a solution which offers a reduction in resource use, promote recycle of the wastes, less dependent on toxic chemical types in wood/cellulose based insulators, in addition to reducing energy consumed by altering internal air conditions. The criteria for evaluation include experimental determination of Thermal Conductivities and Specific Heat Capacities for composites samples and other dependable properties.
