Natural convection in a square cavity is studied numerically with vertical hot walls and a cold partition located at the bottom or top walls. The effect of orientation of partition on isotherms, flow patterns, and hea...
The energy saving performance of energy efficient windows has strong dependence on window direction. Transmitted insolation level definitely affected the cooling and heating load. Simple simulation on the decrement of...
The paper deals with the comparative analysis of the performance of cooling and heating systems operating with NH3 (ammonia) or CO2 (carbon dioxide), both natural refrigerants. The study is based on the exergetic ...
The objective of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of indirect adiabatic chiller-based cooling system efficiency dependence of outdoor air humidity. The system is located in historical building, in te...
This paper describes the applicability of a stochastic model to the numerical experiments of thermal convection carried out under the condition of the northern part of Lake Biwa, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. It was shown ...
The heat losses density in power electronics products follows an ever increasing trend. Nowadays they reach 200 W/cmz at chip level and 50 W/cm2 at heatsink base level. Water cooling is the most effective cooling meth...
PV (photovoltaic) solar panels generally produce electricity in the 6% to 12% efficiency range, the rest is being dissipated in thermal losses. To recover this amount, hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems (PV/T) ha...
This paper presents an electronic VSD (variable speed drive) for three-phase IM (induction motor) using a microcontroller. The VSD is designed for cooling applications where the 1M is coupled to a cooling fan. The...
To prevent direct contact of the melt and basemat concrete of the cavity in a postulated core melt accident, a core catcher concept is suggested. Upon ablation of the sacrificial layer on top of the core catcher while...
Preliminary investigation shows that air sourced type heat pumps by energy efficiency are competitive with gas boilers having 93% of coefficient of performance (COP) if heat pumps are used in climatic zones, having ...
