Because of the rigorous regulations in the 21st century it has become a serious task for designers to find more effective ways for thermal insulation. One of these options is the application of nanotechnology-based materials. Among nano-scale structured materials the most uncertainties are found about the thermal insulating quality of thermal insulation coatings consisted of vacuum-hollow nano-ceramic microspheres. Complete agreement had not been already found about the mechanism of their insulating effect. In order to explore and describe the thermodynamic process inside nano-ceramic coatings (NCC) 6 series of heat transfer resistance experiments were performed in 2014-2017. Several building structure configurations with 12 different orders of layers were tested with a standard heat flow meter. On basis of these results it could be concluded that in case of nano-structured materials convective heat transfer coefficient might be taken account in different way than in case of traditional macro-structured thermal insulation materials.

Nanotechnology-based thermal insulation materials have appeared in building industry in the last two decades. Among them thermal insulating coatings consisted of vacuum-hollow nano-ceramic microspheres are the subjects of most professional discussion. Most studies about these coatings focus only on examination of thermodynamic properties, because there is still no consensus in academic circles about thermodynamic processes inside nano-ceramic coatings. These professional discussions distract attention from other unknown but also important material properties, like behavior by contact with moisture. This paper summarizes the results of moisture behavior tests with nano-ceramic thermal insulation coatings which were conducted to determine the time trend of water absorption, as well as volume, mass and thermal insulation quality changes caused by increasing moisture content. Analyzing the results mathematical connections were found to describe the relation between water content, dimensional and thermal conductivity changes.

The cause detection and analysis have been made over the surface cracks of external thermal insulating rendering systems made of mortar with bonding powder and using expanded polystyrene granule as aggregate (ETIRS) by means of integrating the basic concept of the cracks and actual project practices, on the basis of structure design, materials performances and construction. The result shows that the major causes for surface cracks, the hazardous ones are caused by poor construction quality. In order to guarantee the quality of external thermal insulation wall, the structure design of the said thermal insulation system shall be underlined and building quality on the key parts, stressed.

Understanding the heat transfer in the head disk interface (HDI) in the heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is important. In this paper, we report on a series of experiments to study the heat transfer in the HDI using the perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) heads and media. The temperature increase of the embedded contact sensor (ECS) and the thermal fly-height control (TFC) heater was compared in the fly setup and non-fly setup. A series of simulations were performed to explain the results. We show that the design of the air bearing surface can significantly affect the pressure distribution in the read/write transducer area, and thereby affect the convective heat transfer coefficient.

The surface quality of workpiece depends largely on workpiece surface temperature in grinding. The key parameters on workpiece surface temperature calculation model have been researched and the calculation model constructed in this paper, including the convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) (hf), heat flux (qch) and the grain contact half-width (r0) which are assumed to be constant in workpiece surface temperature model given by Rowe. And the improved Rowe model has been proposed (Rowe/Li model) which not only involves the grinding process parameters such as the speed of wheel and workpiece, but also the geometric parameters of workpiece, grinding wheel and abrasive. The experimental results of the surface temperature in high-speed grinding are very close to the results by Rowe / Li model. Relative to the Rowe model, the obtained surface temperature by Rowe / Li model has decreased by about 35-40%. Under the conditions of the same material removal rate, high-speed grinding, namely, increasing wheel speed can effectively reduce the surface temperature and improve the grinding quality.
