Thermal and physical properties of tobacco curing building materials

Abstract
The thermal and physical properties of seven tobacco curing building materials at different moisture content and the interaction between material and moisture were determined and analyzed. These properties were related to moisture since it is one of the factors that affect the conserving efficiency and strength of barns. The trend of relationship was also determined. Significant differences in the thermal and physical properties of the different materials at different moisture content and interaction among materials were noted. The analysis of variance of interaction showed that the trend of interaction of material on moisture content was linear in thermal conductivity, specific heat, tensile strength and bending strength. Regression analysis further proved that there was an increasing linear trend in thermal conductivity and specific heat. However, a decreasing linear trend was noted in thermal diffusivity, compressive, tensile, bending and shear strengths. Lawanit showed the least value of thermal conductivity and the highest in specific heat and in all physical properties. This suggests that lawanit is the most efficient insulating material and least heat conductor.
