Heat Transfer in Thin Fibrous materials Under High Heat flux

摘要

A heat-transfer model has been developed for two common, inherently flame-resistant fbrics. Nomex~R IIIA and Kevlar ~R/PBI, when subjected to the high heat fluxes used in bench top tests, such as the thermal protective performance (TPP) test, ASTM D 4108. The apparent heat capacity method was used to model thermochemical reactions in these Materials with information from thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential Scanning calorimeter (DSC) tests.
