Abstract

The thermal property of agricultural waste (Rice husk) was investigated with purpose of their use. The experiments have been conducted for using sample of perlite, rice husk and mixture of rice husk and perlite as materials of thermal insulation. Comparison of Experimental results of perlite, rice husk and mixture of rice husk and perlite was carried out. Performance is carried out in different operating parameters like pressure, density, temperature boundary condition etc. These results are helpful to select insulation material for a particular cryogenic application.
