Quite interesting, thank you everyone.
ko99, I will be contacting this company first thing Monday morning. Thank you very much. If their claims are true and valid, this could be a very good thing.

Sounds like a good multi-part problem with a good set of assumptions given in an intro thermo course.
Biggest question is what are the initial temperatures of the three liquids? With the initial temperatures you can solve this. Use the following equations:
Q1 = m1*$dcP1|(Tref,T1)
(read as Q1...
Melamine looks good at lower temps but the data sheet shows it topping out around 300 F. I'm looking for something that can withstand sustained temperatures of close to 600 F. I've checked into various types such as Roxul, Pyro-block, Kaowool, etc., and just can't seem to find the right stuff...
I'm trying to find an insulation with a thermal conductivity value of around 0.03 - 0.04 W/mK at around 575 K. So far the best I've found is at 0.06 - 0.07 W/mK.
Does anyone know of a company or place to search for such a material?
Rearrange the equation slightly. It's a little tough without making explicit assumptions on the order of your operations, but I'm going to assume your equation is:
Permeability = (C/t) x ln(Pressure Ratio)
So, rearrange to:
t = (C/Permeability) x ln(Pressure Ratio)
If C and Permeability are...
Been beating around with this problem for awhile and am just not happy with my results. I'm gonna venture to ask for help...
I've been trying to model a process whereby heat is used to heat a plate (I've posted this question prior but I have revised some of the info as I've encoutered problems...
I'm looking at the most complicated situation (again, out of curiosity, not so much for application). But, if I generalize it to the extent that the bulk mass does not change in temperature then......Ahhh!....it all came clear as I was writing this. I'm wanting to make a model to describe the...
I was recently working on a project for a customer and after a few S.W.A.G.s I got the results I wanted. In the process, however, I found out that I really didn't know quite as much as I thought about heat transfer.
Every transfer book I've used and seen does a marvelous job at situations like...
For a vertical plate (if properly sized and used with a horizontal plate you should be able to model a fin):
a = 0.387 * (Ra^(1/6))
b = [1 + ((0.492/Pr)^(9/16)) ]^(8/27)
Nu = [0.825 + a/b]^2
(I used this truncated form to make it easier to read).
This is using a characteristic length value for...
