Nano materials filled Polymers for reducing the thermal Peak temperature in a vehicle
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
There is an increasing demand for fuel nowadays and it is soon expected that there will be an acute shortage in the fuel that we are using at present. Hence there is a need to optimize the fuel usage. Almost 10% of fuel in a vehicle is used for maintaining the temperature within it for the comfort level of the passengers and the main factor that influences this is the air conditioner in the vehicle have made a carbon nano tube which is blasted with Graphite vapors forming a chicken wired structure. It is then condensed with a polymer, which brings up the required behavior of the material i.e. it can act both as a sun proof sheet or as a normal transparent sheet (allows sunlight to pass through) according to the requirement. This can be stuck to the window pane. Now a voltage of 5V is given to change its behavior from sun proof sheet to normal sheet and vice versa. This eliminates the peak thermal temperature attained in the vehicle when parked and hence the work load of the AC is abruptly reduced.
