Thermal Conductivity of Gypsum at High Temperatures – A Combined Experimental and Numerical Approach

Performance of gypsum board based systems in fire is highly influenced by the temperature-dependant thermal conductivity of gypsum boards, yet there is a wide difference in the thermal conductivity values used in literature. Presented here is a hybrid method to determine the effective thermal conduc...

Description
Summary:Performance of gypsum board based systems in fire is highly influenced by the temperature-dependant thermal conductivity of gypsum boards, yet there is a wide difference in the thermal conductivity values used in literature. Presented here is a hybrid method to determine the effective thermal conductivity of gypsum boards at high temperatures, based on using small-scale experimental results and a thermal conductivity model which includes the effects of radiation in voids.
