DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/noti1557 Introduction Essential as they are to energy saving, pollution control, and environment improvement, insulation problems promise to be a crucial research area for the foreseeable future. Several sciences are involved: civil engineering for the design of new buildings with more efficient energy consumption, physics and chemistry for research on new materials with better insulating properties, and mathematics for the study of the partial differential equations

NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES FOR DIFFERENT THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS
The objective of this work is to predict the temperature of the different types of walls which are Ferro cement wall, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) wall and two types of cavity walls (combined RCC with Ferrocement and combined two Ferro cement walls) with the help of mathematical modeling. The property of low thermal transmission of small air gap between the constituents of combine materials...
متن کاملMixed variable optimization of thenumber and composition of heat
In the literature, thermal insulation systems with a xed number of shields used as heat intercepts have been optimized with respect to the temperatures and locations of the shields. The number of shields and the type of insulators that surround them were chosen by parametric studies. This was because such categorical variables, which refer to a particular choice from a list of \categories", cou...
متن کاملThermal-insulation performance of low density polyethylene (LDPE) foams: Comparison between two radiation thermal conductivity models
The loss of energy especially in industrial and residential buildings is one of the main reasons of increased energy consumption. Improving the thermal insulation properties of materials is a fundamental method for reducing the energy losses. Polymeric foams are introduced as materials with excellent thermal insulation properties for this purpose. In the present study, a deep theoretical invest...
متن کاملMixed Variable Optimization of a Load-Bearing Thermal Insulation System Using a Filter Pattern Search Algorithm
Abstract: This paper describes the optimization of a load-bearing thermal insulation system characterized by hot and cold surfaces with a series of heat intercepts and insulators between them. The optimization problem is represented as a mixed variable programming (MVP) problem with nonlinear constraints, in which the objective is to minimize the power required to maintain the heat intercepts a...
متن کاملMixed Variable Optimization of the Number and Composition of Heat Intercepts in a Thermal Insulation System
In the literature, thermal insulation systems with a fixed number of heat intercepts have been optimized with respect to intercept locations and temperatures. The number of intercepts and the types of insulators that surround them were chosen by parametric studies. This was because the optimization methods used could not treat such categorical variables. Discrete optimization variables are cate...
