What is Composite

This chapter concisely discusses two case studies experiences on domestic refrigeration. One of the cases involves the theoretical and experimental analysis of the thermal profile in the compartments of a refrigerator, all this under the modeling and simulation through CFD, thus obtaining interesting results in terms of energy consumption. The second case is focus on the thermal and energy evaluation of new material proposed as thermal insulator, which was developed in a conventional way in the laboratory and presents convenient thermal features. Therefore, the guidelines for this chapter are aimed at finding mechanism that streamline the domestic refrigeration systems, without modifying its cooling performance.
