Measurement of the Heat Transfer Properties of Carbon Fabrics via Infrared Thermal Mapping

The aim of this paper is to determine the heat transfer properties biaxial carbon fabrics different architectures, including non-crimp stitch bonded fabrics, plain, twill and satin woven fabrics. specific capacity was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). A novel method numerical analysis temperature maps from a video using high-resolution thermal camera investigated for measurement in-plane transverse diffusivity conductivity. conductivity parallel fibers fabric agrees well with theoretical value calculated employing rule mixtures. presence voids due yarn crossover regions in leads reduced conductivity, especially single ply measurements study.
