...X. Duan; G. F. Naterer Conventional ground surface insulation can be used to protect power line foundations in permafrost regions from the adverse effects of seasonal freezing and thawing cycles. But previous studies have shown ineffective thermal protection against the receding permafrost...

...Rui Yao; James Blanchard Small scale, thermally driven power sources will require appropriate insulation to achieve sufficiently high thermal conversion efficiencies. This paper presents a micro-insulation design, which was developed for a thermionic microbattery, which converts the decay heat from...

.... If the furnace is considered to be a perfectly insulated box, as a first approximation, then an increase in the foam temperature stipulates an equivalent increase in the effective temperature of the refractories in order to maintain the required supply of energy for heating the glass melt. This leads...
