At the end of 200°C, the samples had lost about 17% of their initial weight which was more than the 11% moisture content, suggesting thermal evaporation and possibly onset of some initial thermal decomposition of some tobacco constituents [16,18,19].
According to the experimental results, the numerical relationship between moisture content and thermal conductivity in porous medium is identified.
The effects of an innovative hydrophobic treatment and moisture content on thermal conductivity of lightweight mortars were investigated.
In the present paper, an experimental campaign is carried out to evaluate the influence of the moisture content on the thermal conductivity of 17 thermal mortars.
The aim of the work reported in this paper is to determine the influence of moisture content on the thermal proprieties of wood concrete composite, i.e. thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity.
The thermal conductivity of SRE materials increases linearly with the saturation ratio, Sr of the material and can be expressed as λ∗, the moisture content-dependent thermal conductivity.
New data for both the dry-state and the moisture content-dependent thermal conductivity of cement-stabilised rammed earth (SRE) materials is presented.
This paper investigates the impact of moisture content on the thermal inertia parameters of building material layers.
Six wall specimens are fabricated to investigate the effects of wall thickness and moisture content on the thermal behavior of normal strength walls under fire.
Nowadays, the current state of art assumes an exponential relationship between the moisture content and the thermal properties for this kind of building material.
