This book is part of a four-volume set that provides students, engineers, and researchers with advanced knowledge on the design and development of architectured materials for controlling radiative heat transfer in energy applications. These applications include concentrated solar power, radiative cooling, space propulsion, and material transformation in manufacturing industries.
The four monographs are based on 14 courses delivered during the MATTER (Architectured Materials for the Control of Radiative Heat Transfer: From Material Elaboration Processes to Industrial Applications) CNRS thematic school, held from May 10 15, 2022, and organized by the French research network TAMARYS.
This third monograph focuses on the fabrication of dense and porous ceramics as well as thin films with controlled optical properties. It covers fundamental principles of ceramic materials and processing, including sintering techniques and the relationship between microstructure, processing methods, and thermal properties. Additionally, it explores deposition processes for thin films designed to regulate radiative heat transfer. Practical applications in the field of renewable energy are also discussed.
List of contents
Introduction to ceramics and ceramics processes..- Sintering of ceramics.- Relationships between ceramic processes / microstructures /thermal properties.- Deposition Processes for of thin films with controlled Optical Properties.
About the author
B. Rousseau is a Senior Researcher at CNRS and the director of the French CNRS Research Group TAMARYS. His research focuses on the multi-scale modeling of thermal radiative properties in heterogeneous media using 3D digitalized images, with applications in heat exchangers, volumetric solar absorbers, and infrared heating.
F. Enguehard is a Professor at the University of Poitiers. His research interests include radiative heat transfer in non-Beerian media, the interaction of radiation with sub-wavelength complex-shaped objects, and conduction-radiation coupling in heterogeneous media using stochastic modeling techniques.
S. Foucaud is a Professor at the University of Limoges and leads the Ceramics under Environmental Constraints research axis at IRCER. Her research focuses on the development of ceramic materials for extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and aggressive environments. She is also a member of the scientific council of the CNRS INC.
