Heat Transfer Analysis on Mixture of Corn and Pearl Millet Straw

Now a day's lots of thermal insulating material used for prevent the heat loss and heat reduction such that EPS, fiber glass. In addition as we are going to analyze the heat transfer on mixture of corn and pearl millet straw and also check whether the mixture will act as an insulating material or not. Usually corn straw & pearl millet consider as an agriculture waste. This may be used as an insulating material for both industrial & home appliance. Insulating materials are non-metallic materials that do not allow electric current to pass through it at normal temperatures. There are number of insulating materials used in Electrical apparatus and machinery. They may be organic or inorganic, uniform or heterogeneous in composition, natural or synthetic. There are many properties such as resistivity, breakdown voltage, thermal stability etc that determine the suitability of a material to be used as insulating material. Thermal insulators are those materials that prevent or reduce various forms of heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation). Insulator resists the heat transfer from out to in or in opposite direction whether the environment temperature is high or low. There are many advantages of thermal insulation that isolates the building from the heat and reduces the energy consumption as well as the costs of air-conditioning operation. This will reduce the amount of heating and cooling appliances that is needed to keep the house comfortable. Because of this, home insulation will reduce the energy bills and the costs of cooling and heating.
