Control of insulating properties using flexible soft seals

چکیده
This work analyzes and discusses analytically a method of controling the insulating properties of an assembly. It establishes the feasibility of utilizing gas layers within the insulating assembly separated by flexible soft seals. The volumetric thermal expansion of the main gas layers within the insulating assembly are determined taking into consideration the variation in the gas pressure due to the elastic behavior of the supporting flexible soft seals. It was found that the volumetric thermal expansion of the main gas approaches its isobaric condition value as the main gas layer thickness decreases. Also, it is found that insulating properties are enhanced when the main gas has a minimum thermal conductivity and when relatively high temperatures are experienced. However, insulating properties deteriorate at large temperatures when the main gas has a relatively large thermal conductivity. Finally, advanced insulating assemblies with maximized insulating properties are proposed. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The infrastructure of the electricity grid and super grid system in the hitherto industrialized world was to a large extent built up in the decades following World War II with a peak in investments around 1960-1980. This means that the flotilla of power transformers is now starting to reach projected lifetime of around 40 years. During the last couple of decades there has also been an ongoin...

It is necessary to obtain a fundamental understanding of the goaf gas flow patterns in longwall mine in order to develop optimum goaf gas drainage and spontaneous combustion (sponcom) management strategies. The best ventilation layout for a longwall underground mine should assist in goaf gas drainage and further reduce the risk of sponcom in the goaf. Further, in the longwall panel, regulators ...
