3. INTRODUCTION
• Nowadays, Composite materials are generally used in areas where
conventional materials like Steel and Aluminum are used due to their high
strength to weight ratio and low cost.
• In today’s economy, GFRP have established themselves as the market
leader.
• As GFRP provide certain mechanical and thermal properties, We are going
increasing its efficiency more by adding SBF as reinforcement.

4. AIM & OBJECTIVE
1.To design and perform analysis on cylindrical pipe
2.To perform the numerical analysis of pipe with GFRP,
GFRP with SBF, Aluminum alloy.
3.To prepare laminate of GFRP with SBF and conduct test
for Structural and Thermal applications.

5. Why SBF is chosen as reinforcement..?
MADE FROM AGRICULTURAL
WASTE
LOW WEIGHT
BIODEGRADABLE
HIGH TENSILE AND
IMPACT STRENGTH
CAN BE RECYCLED
LOW COST

6. GFRP Applications
AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES
SPACECRAFT PARTS
THERMAL INSULATION PIPES
ROOFING SHEETS
CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT
WINDMILL BLADES

Thermal characterization of sugar cane fiber reinforced composite
International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT)
IJERTIJERT ISSN: 2278-0181
Ansys-Based Evaluation of Natural Fiber and Hybrid
Fiber-Reinforced Composite
Kumpati, R.; Skarka,W.; Skarka, M
• The density of the natural fiber reinforced polyester composite
decreases as fiber content increases.
• As the fiber content is increased, there is an effective decrease
in the thermal conductivity.
• 0° HFRC ply orientation and 45° ply orientation
with approx. 3mm thickness shows great result
and can be used in wing construction and skins
for unmanned aerial vehicles.

Matrix :
RESIN LY 556 & HARDNER HY951
Reinforcement :
GFRP with SUGARCANE FIBRE
The laminate size is 300*300*3.5mm
Fibre orientation : Random

10. Collection of Sugarcane
Bagasse
Process
(preparation)
Drying it in sunlight
Washing thoroughly with water
to remove the sugar content

11. Weight Measurement of GFRP
Mat
Process
(preparation)
Epoxy appiled
Mixing of Resin and Hardener
with 10:1 Ratio

12. Pressing the Resin applied
Mat for good Penetration
Process
(preparation) Spreading Sugarcane Fiber
Final laminate

13. Process
(Analysis)
Using Solid Works to create a pipe model
And using Ansys to analyse the
steady state heat transfer through the pipe

14. Design of heat pipe

15. Aluminum alloy - heat transfer

16. GFRP - heat transfer

17. GFRP with SBF - heat transfer

18. Comparing results

GFRP 450 25
GFRP with
SBF 450.63 19.682
Hence, This analysis tells us there’s a reduction in heat transfer when SBF is
added with GFRP.
