Q2. What was the pressure used to make the sandwich structures?
These sandwich structures were heated at 1000 °C for 1 h in a vacuum of 1.6 1026mbar while applying a small pressure, which ensured good contact between the layers.
Q3. What is the main phase of cordierite in material A?
The crystalline phases in material A were mainly cordierite and cristobalite, while in material B, the main phase was cordierite.
Q4. How can the authors measure the thermal diffusivity of highly porous samples?
The three-layer configuration can be used to measure the thermal diffusivity of highly porous samples, >40 vol %, by the laser flash method using the procedure described above.
Q5. What is the thermal conductivity of cordierite A?
Santos et al.15 reported a room temperature thermal diffusivity of 0.002 cm2/s for a 95% dense cristobalite material that means a thermal conductivity of 0.34 W/m K considering a specific heat of 0.74 J/g °C.16
Q6. Why does the thermal diffusivity increase at higher temperatures?
This increase at higher temperatures may be due to the high porosity of these samples ~>40 vol %!, which leads to heat transfer by gas convection and radiation at high temperatures.
Q7. How is the thermal diffusivity of cordierites measured?
The laser flash technique is adequate for measuring the thermal diffusivity of materials with high porosity ~;50 vol %! and coarse pores ~.100 mm! by applying the appropriate corrections and models.
Q8. How is the thermal conductivity of cordierite A measured?
The thermal conductivity values measured for both porous cordierites are much lower, ;80%, than those reported for denser cordierite materials ~porosity ,25 vol %!4,5 and, furthermore, they are almost independent of temperature for the typical working range in burner applications.
Q9. How much is the thermal conductivity of a porous material?
Three-layer structures formed by two layers of a high-diffusivity material attached to both sides of the porous specimen have been proved to give reliable values of thermal diffusivity for this type of material.o AIP license or copyright; see http://jap.aip.org/jap/copyright.jspThe thermal conductivity of highly porous ~.40 vol %!
Q10. What is the thermal conductivity of the material?
The thermal conductivity at each temperature was calculated by the expressionl5rCpa , ~2!where ‘‘r’’ and ‘‘a’’ are the density and the thermal diffusivity of the material, respectively.
Q11. What is the difference in diffusivity between the two different thicknesses?
that approximately corresponds to the size of the symbols in the plots ~Fig. 2!. Therefore, these differences in diffusivity may be attributed to penetration of the laser radiation inside the porous sample, which induces large experimental errors.
Q12. How much thermal conductivity is attributed to the difference in composition of the solid phase?
As the authors are dealing with cordierite-based materials with porosities >40 vol %, the solid phase is hardly continuous and the reduction in thermal conductivity of 36% attributed to the difference in composition of the solid phase should be dimmed.
Q13. How much thermal conductivity is the density of cordierite?
the thermal conductivity at room temperature of dense cordierite-cristobalite composition would be reduced by 36% compared to a dense pure cordierite.
