In this article, we propose a study of heat transfer through a flexible pavement, the wearing course of which is composed of bitumen modified with sugar cane fibers (bagasse). The expressions for temperature and heat flux density are obtained from the heat equation established by Fourrier. The influence of extrinsic parameters such as the convective and radiative heat exchange coefficient on pavement deformations are presented in order to quantify the thermal behavior of the bituminous mixture under lighting and shade.
Composite wall consisting of three layers placed from outside to inside in concrete, plaster and plexiglass, is subject to external climatic constraints evolving in frequency dynamic regime. Goal is to maintain indoor environment at lower temperature for thermal comfort in homes or thermal insulation of cold rooms. By means of excitation pulsation, periods of external climatic stresses for which thermal insulation is effective for this wall system are determined.
The thermal transfer in the tow plaster (insulating material) is modeled by numerical method resolution in transient regime. The discretization of the reduced space variable and the reduced temporal variable is applied to the heat equations, the boundary conditions and the initial condition. The expressions of the dimensionless temperature allowed to represent the curves of evolution of the reduced temperature in the reduced time. The time constant characterizing the reduction of the reduced temperature in the material makes it possible to calculate its thermal diffusivity.
