Exploration to Find Heat Absorbent Materials from Recycled Solid Wastes for the Design and Development of Low Operational Cost and Affordable Water Heating System for Domestic Application
This research studied the properties and the production of thermal absorbent materials from recycles solid waste and their application in residential house construction. Many recycle materials can be used as heat absorber such as aluminum, plastic, bagasse, textile, oil palm leaves, twigs, paper, corn cob, rubber, coconut husk, coconut shell, granite, wood, iron, glass, kenaf (habicus canabicus), and concrete. The specimen were produced by using composite method with epoxy solution as the binder to the loose grain of recycle waste material. Experimental method of the specimen also have been discussed in this project which is by recording the temperature of each specimen in several time period and apply the data in the Fourier’s equation to determine heat transfer rate. This project therefore discussed mainly about theory of heat transfer which consist of conduction and radiation.
