Abstract
Diamond (pointed twill) and diaper (herringbone twill) woven assemblies are considered ideal for applications where thermal insulation, heat retention, wrinkle resistance, strength, softness, and breathability attributes are crucial. Limited research has been found on the optimization of thermal comfort and mechanical performance of warp face, weft face and balanced float diaper and diamond woven assemblies. In this work six different woven assemblies have been engineered using cotton (cellulosic yarn) on a dobby machine, having warp face (4/2) weft face (2/4) and balanced float (3/3) based diamond and diaper weave designs with equal number of thread densities. Thermal comfort (dry fluid transmission, thermal resistance, stiffness, and overall wet fluid management capability) and mechanical (tensile, puncture and tear strength) tests were performed for developed woven fabrics. The results of diamond warp face sample showed the highest dry fluid transmission and volume porosity. Diamond weft face specimens showed the highest thermal conductivity behavior and diaper weft face exhibited the highest overall wet fluid management capability behavior. Stiffness was the highest in diamond balanced float. Diamond warp faced fabric showed the highest tearing durability and diaper weft face showed the highest tensile resilience in mechanical performance attributes.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
