The transmission loss (TL) is measured at normal incidence in a traditional impedance tube, whereas the thermal conductivity (λ) is evaluated using a Hot Plate apparatus, setting up an appropriate methodology, due to the nature of the sample. The results reveal that the small granules (granules size in the 0.01-1.2 mm range), which have the highest density, have the best performance both in terms of thermal and acoustic properties. Depending on the granules size, λ varies in 19-22 mW/mK range at 10°C, whereas a TL equal to 13 dB at about 6400 Hz for 20 mm thickness is obtained for small granules.Elsevier Ltd2017Conference Objecthttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/12541https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.03.2091876-6102enEnergy Procediainfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjecthttps://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/12541
