ANALYSIS OF THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND THERMAL STRESS ON ALUMINIUM SILICONCARBIDE COMPOSITES
INTRODUCTION • Heat transfer plays a important role in the performance of atomic reactors, rockets and jet engines and development work in progress. • The post-war era has consequently seen a substantial increase in the interest shown in the thermal properties of materials particularly in determinations of thermal conductivity.. • In this work the thermal stress of Aluminium silicon carbide composites was analyzed .Effort was taken to prove the thermal conductivity of adding SiC with Aluminium.
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY • The thermal conductivity of materials is defined as the amount of energy conducted through a body of unit area and unit thickness in unit time or heat flow per unit time across unit area when temperature gradient is unity. • K = (Q/A) × (dx/dt) • Where • K – Thermal Conductivity (W/mK) • Q – Heat transfer (W) • dx/dt – Temperature gradient
REGARDING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY • Thermal conductivity of material is due to flow of free electrons and lattice vibrational waves. • Thermal conductivity in case of pure metal is the highest e.g. (Copper 385W/mK, silver 410w/mK﴿ it decreases with increase impurity. • Thermal conductivity of a metal varies considerably when it is heat treated or mechanically processed. • Thermal conductivity of most metal decreases with the increase in temperature.
THERMAL STRESS • Stress introduced by uniform or non uniform temperature change in a structure or material which is constrained against expansion or contraction.
COMPOSITE MATERIAL • A composite material is a combination of two or more materials having compositional variation and properties distinctively different from those of individual materials of the composite.
PROBLEMS • To determine the thermal conductivity of a composite material is experimentally difficult. • For a composite material it is difficult to analyze the thermal stress in experimental method. • We need experimental results which were already proved.
OBJECTIVES • To analyze the thermal stress for a composite material-Aluminum silicon carbide • To find a methodology to prove the thermal conductivity of a composite material.

WORKING PROCEDURE • This method is a comparative one the unknown thermal conductivity of the material was measured with the reference of materials whose thermal conductivities are known. Such reference materials were Aluminium, Castiron, and Stainless steel. • The initial cooling rate of various materials was found out. From the initial cooling rate, material can be identified as higher thermal conductivity and lower thermal conductivity whose thermal conductivities were already known.
PROCEDURE • Now the graph was drawn between thermal conductivity Vs cooling rate. • The thermal comparator embodying cones were placed in a Muffle furnace Controlled at any temperature and left to attain equilibrium. • This was indicated by the reading of the differentially connected thermocouples being zero or within a few µv of these values. • Meanwhile the samples to be tested were positioned on an insulating blanket and allowed to come into equilibrium with room.
PROCEDURE • . The initial 70°C and equivalent microvolt readings of differentially connected thermocouples were noted and subsequent readings were taken every 15 seconds after contact had been established. • The test was made on materials of higher thermal conductivity to lower thermal conductivity such as Aluminium, Castiron, Stainless steel And also Aluminium Silicon carbide with various proportion of SiC (5%, 10%, 15%).

METHODOLOGY • To create the shell of the specimen in HYPER MESH. • Conversion of model from hyper mesh to ansys. • Conduct steady state thermal analysis • Apply the method of coupled structural analysis. • Then conduct Transient state analysis.
HYPER MESH- PROCEDURE • Create a profile. • Choose element – SHELL 57. • Apply the values. • Mesh the element. • Export the values from hyper mesh to ansys.
ELEMENT FOR THERMAL ANALYSIS • SHELL57 is a three-dimensional element having in-plane thermal conduction capability. • The element has four nodes with a single degree of freedom, temperature, at each node. • The conducting shell element is applicable to a three-dimensional, steady-state or transient thermal analysis
ELEMENT FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • SOLID185 is used for the three-dimensional • modeling of solid structures. • The element is defined by eight nodes having three degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions.
COUPLED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS , "A sequentially coupled physics analysis is the combination of analyses from different engineering disciplines which interact to solve a global engineering problem. For convenience, ...the solutions and procedures associated with a particular engineering discipline [will be referred to as] a physics analysis. When the input of one physics analysis depends on the results from another analysis, the analyses are coupled."
