    This document describes the various heat transfer processes that occur in a honeycomb composite insulation material. Heat is transferred through the material by conduction through the inner and outer solid slabs, free convection through the cellular airspace, conduction through the honeycomb walls, and radiation between the honeycomb surfaces. Evacuating the airspace or using materials with low thermal conductivity and emissivity would improve the insulating performance.

    PROBLEM 1.

    86(e)
    KNOWN: Geometry of a composite insulation consisting of a honeycomb core.
    FIND: Relevant heat transfer processes.
    SCHEMATIC:

    The above schematic represents the cross section of a single honeycomb cell and surface
    slabs. Assumed direction of gravity field is downward. Assuming that the bottom (inner)
    ( )
    surface temperature exceeds the top (outer) surface temperature Ts,i > Ts,o , heat transfer is
    in the direction shown.

    Heat may be transferred to the inner surface by convection and radiation, whereupon it is
    transferred through the composite by

    q cond,i Conduction through the inner solid slab,

    q conv,hc Free convection through the cellular airspace,

    q cond,hc Conduction through the honeycomb wall,

    q rad,hc Radiation between the honeycomb surfaces, and

    q cond,o Conduction through the outer solid slab.

    Heat may then be transferred from the outer surface by convection and radiation. Note that
    for a single cell under steady state conditions,

    q rad,i + q conv,i = q cond,i = q conv,hc + q cond,hc

    +q rad,hc = q cond,o = q rad,o + q conv,o .

    COMMENTS: Performance would be enhanced by using materials of low thermal


    conductivity, k, and emissivity, ε. Evacuating the airspace would enhance performance by
    eliminating heat transfer due to free convection.
