In this paper, a reliable model of the viscosity in liquids in the dual model of liquids (DML) framework is developed. The analytical expression arrived at exhibits the correct T–dependence Arrhenius-like exponential decreasing trend, which is...

A kinetic model based on the two-stage semi-global multi-reaction model of Grioui was developed using the TG and DTG curves for the by-products of Kambala and Ayous. These two tropical species are widely used in the Republic of Congo. The TG and DTG...

Due to modern comfort demands and global warming, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are widely used in many homes and buildings. However, HVAC based on the Vapor Compression System (VCS) is a major energy consumer, accounting...

Here, we investigate the performance of phase-change materials (PCMs) in the passive thermal control of space habitats. PCMs are able to absorb and release large amounts energy in the form of latent heat during their (typically, solid-to-liquid) phas...

Global efforts aiming to shift towards renewable energy and smart grid configurations require accurate unit commitment schedules to guarantee power balance and ensure feasible operation under different complex constraints. Intelligent systems utilizi...

Textile heaters are made from knitted conductive yarns integrated into their fabric, making them stretchable, washable, breathable and suitable for close-to-skin wear. However, the non-zero resistance in the lead wires causes non-uniform power distri...
