Question

Problem 7.4 - CES UDinosaur has decided to take a side trip to Mars. In order to prepare his rocket ship, he needs a thermal barrier coating to ensure his rocket is not going to burn. The minimum temperature that he is expecting to see is 1300C. U Dinosaur would also prefer that the structures does not fail, so he is requesting a yield strength of 400 MPa so that is can withstand the pressure of space. Provide UDinosaur with 3 material recommendations that will have the lowest thermal conductivity while improving the temperatures.

Answer 1

Materials with low thermal conductivity and better thermal insulation are-

1. PTFE.

2. MYLAR.

3.SILICA AEROGELS.
