Analysis of Thermal Conductivity in Composite Material

Industrial Engg.

The world population continuously increasing and because of these our requirements is steadily increase, and resources (material) is reducing. This situation has led to the development of alternative materials. the various synthetic materials that have been explored and advocated, polymer composites claim a major participation as materials. There has been a growing interest in utilizing natural fibers as reinforcement in polymer composite for making low cost construction materials in recent years. Natural fibers are prospective reinforcing materials and their use until now has been more traditional than technical. One of the most important physical factors related to the thermal conductivity of composite material. the most popular expressions for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of composite materials using the properties and volume fractions of constituent phases. In this connection, an investigation has been carried out to make use of coir; a natural fiber.
