Le sujet de l'étude concerne la caractérisation des propriétés thermiques de liquides semi-transparents à haute température : les liquides silicatés. La caractérisation de ces matériaux est particulièrement délicate car il faut séparer les contributions des différents modes de transfert thermique (conduction, convection et rayonnement) si l'on veut mesurer des propriétés intrinsèques. Le dispositif expérimental est basé sur une méthode pulsée de type flash. La cellule de mesure, placée au centre d'un four tubulaire, est soumise à une excitation délivrée par un laser continu et l'élévation de température est mesurée à l'aide d'un détecteur infrarouge sur la face opposée à l'excitation. La modélisation du problème direct prend en compte le couplage conducto-radiatif en résolvant l'équation de la chaleur en régime transitoire et l'équation de transfert radiatif (ETR) pour un milieu gris émettant, absorbant et non diffusant à l'aide de la méthode des harmoniques sphériques (approximation P1). La méthode développée permet d'estimer simultanément la diffusivité thermique et un coefficient d'absorption moyen (gris) par méthode inverse. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur des liquides silicatés présentant des propriétés radiatives différentes (i.e., des coefficients d'absorption différents) valident la méthode de caractérisation développée et mise en œuvre dans nos travaux.

Heat Transfer 2 deals with radiation, heat exchangers and flat plate solar collectors. It presents the treatment of radiation in semi-transparent media to be taken into account for insulation or recovery of high temperature waste heat (energy saving in industry), as well as in certain solar applications (energy transition). The numerous solved exercises allow the reader to grasp the whole range of applications, whether in the field of building, transport, materials or the environment. The appendices contain all the data needed to solve the exercises and will be a valuable source of information. This book is designed for masters and engineering students who are interested in all aspects of heat transfer, but also for engineers who will find the bases needed to understand similar phenomena (conduction-convection-radiation), but which require a different form of reflection and approach.
