Determination of Radiative Thermal Conductivity in Needlepunched Nonwovens

Radiation heat transfer is found to be the dominant mode of heat transfer at temperatures higher than 400-500K [11]. Convection heat transfer being negligible in nonwovens, effective thermal conductivity is given by the sum of its conduction and radiation components. In this research two methods wer...
