Abstract

This paper aimed to study how to reduce the amounts of heat transfer from or to the internal space of the building by covering its external walls with many locally available materials, thus reducing the rate of consumption of electrical energy used in adaptation, which leads to reducing energy consumption costs. The researcher built a model room with dimensions (1 x 1 x 2) m on the third floor of a building in Baghdad (L = 33.2 N), the dimensions of its walls (1 x 2 m) east for the installation of the sample, and the other surfaces are insulated with 200 mm polystyrene sheets. Use a 0.5 ton air conditioner to provide the room thermal comfort. The researcher found that the metal sheet with a thickness of 10 mm and covered with an insulating layer of thermoplastics is considered the best among the materials used in construction, as it saves 57% of the electrical energy consumed in air conditioning. While the use of marble, porcelain, helen stone, and fiberglass slabs with a thickness of 10 mm, comes last because it saves less than 30% of electrical energy.

Abstract

Multiple integral representation (MIR) has been used to represent studying the effect of temperature on the amount of nonlinear creep on the semi-crystalline polypropylene (PP) under the influence of axial elastic stress. To complete this research, the kernel functions were selected, for the purpose of performing an analogy, and for arranging the conditions for the occurrence of the first, second and third expansion in a temperature range between 20 °C-60 °C, i.e., between the glass transition and softening temperatures, within the framework of the energy law. It was observed that the independent strain time increased non-linearly with increasing stress and non-linearly decreased with increase in temperature, although the time parameter increased non-linearly with stress and temperature directly. In general, a very satisfactory agreement between theoretical and practical results on the MIR material was observed.
