Study on banana, Bristle coir and jute mixed natural composites heat transfer properties analysis for insulation

In this experimental investigation based on natural composites such as banana, Bristle coir and jute mixed with different percentage based on weight for the insulation on cylindrical exhaust smog passage to identify the heat transfer properties analysis such as thermal conductivity, thermal resistance and temperature differences. In this investigation 50% of Bristle coir used for three combinations of natural composite only change in percentage of weight varied for banana fiber (25%, 20% and 15%)and jute fiber (25%, 30% and 35%). There are three different thicknesses of natural composites such as 2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm considered for investigation. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

This experimental investigation focused on the use of natural composites like banana, Bristle coir, and jute in different weight percentages for insulation on a cylindrical exhaust passage to analyze heat transfer properties. By varying the weight percentage of banana and jute fibers while keeping Bristle coir constant, the study explored thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and temperature differences. The results indicated that mixing different natural fibers in varied weight ratios could achieve diverse heat transfer effects within different thickness ranges.
