Abstract Scope |
Ceramic manufacturing process has seen several advancements with the evolution of new technologies. Still delays exist in the process due to the lack of process control. This paper investigates the feasibility of using longwave infrared radiation emitted by a printed Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene (CNTG) heater for pre-drying a clay sample. The CNTG heater emits infrared radiation with a relatively low DC voltage supply. By radiant heat transfer, homogeneous and uniform drying has been observed. The penetrative capability of the IR energy which warms the inside of the sample is shown, as well as the results of comparing the CNTG heater with a commercially available IR heater. The study establishes that the CNTG heater is capable of reducing the lead time of ceramics drying using penetrative IR. |
