Porous and heat analysis for foam block used in building wall restoration

Abstract

Using COMSOL Multiphysics software, a thorough porosity and heat analysis is performed to examine the thermal performance and insulating qualities of foam blocks used in building wall restoration. The main goal is to comprehend how the foam block's temperature changes over time, emphasizing both its usefulness as an insulator and its heat transmission properties. The investigation showed that the foam block's exterior layer quickly absorbed heat during the early heating stages, indicating its effectiveness in storing thermal energy. Heat progressively moved within as the heating process went on, demonstrating the material's capacity to efficiently transfer thermal energy from the exterior to the interior. A consistent temperature distribution was seen during the advanced heating phases, highlighting the foam block's superior thermal conductivity and stability.
