The heat transfer process through kapok insulating material at different temperatures against wind speed was analyzed. A theoretical model of heat flow combined with conduction, convection and radiation was presented. The finite element method was used for detail study. Through the experiment, which was accomplished in an artificial climate chamber, it was found there was a good accordance between theoretical results and experimental results.
Keywords: Kapok, Finite element analysis, Heat transfer, Warm-keeping, Transient maximum heat flow.
