EVALUATION OF WHEAT STRAW, HAMMER-MILLED HEMP, RICE HULLS AND CELLULOSE SETTLEMENT BEHAVIOUR FOR LOOSE- FILL INSULATION APPLICATIONS
… The following thesis examines the use of loose-fill fine and coarse cut wheat straw, hammer-milled hemp, rice hulls and cellulose as insulation alternatives. To effectively evaluate the thermal and long-term performance of these loose-fill materials, the installation density and physical …

Simulation of urea particle flow using DEM for dry fertilizer spreading optimization
… using two bulk responses: angle of repose and loose-fill bulk density. The calibrated parameter set consisted of a particle-particle static friction coefficient of 0.27 and a rolling friction coefficient of 0.11. With this set, the DEM model predicted angle of repose and bulk density with …

Development of straw insulation board : fabrication methods, structure, thermal performance
… of rigid insulation is needed, as opposed to loose fill, because the buildings have solid masonry walls without an air gap. These boards will be suitable for other developing countries as well The initial survey of possible methods included 1) containing the straw in panels with wire and …

Foaming Novatein thermoplastic protein
… the opportunity for using it as an alternative loose fill packing material. This work aimed to develop an appropriate foaming method and the principles governing it. Foaming was initially investigated through extrusion which was unsuccessful due to the low speed and pressure drop. However, by …
