Abstract
In this study, the influences of eggshell powder application on random fiberglass/polyester composite pipes thermal stresses were investigated experimentally and numerically. The experimental part involved industrializing tube samples which are Egg Shell Powder with Polyester at 50% volume fraction.(E50), Random Fiberglass with plyester at 50% volume fraction (F50) and Egg Shell Powder with Random Fiberglass with Polyester at 50% volume fraction (E25F25). Resin molding procedure and experimental rig design to study how tube samples are faced with thermal loads. Pipes are made with (95 mm) inner diameter, (400 mm) circumference, and (5 mm) wall thicknesses. Computational Fluid Dynamic, ANSYS software package version 11, is simulated with product form SHELL63. Results show that, composite samples (F50) had an average longitudinal strain, while composite samples (E50) had a low longitudinal strain. The composite (F50) had average longitudinal and hoop stress (62.2 MPa, and 61.1 MPa) respectively, while the composite (E50) had low longitudinal hoop stress (28.5 MPa, ad 30.8 MPa) respectively.
