This paper is devoted to modelling of temperature distribution and its time evolution in rooms with specific thermal insulation and heat transfer for different external conditions. The simulation results should help to design the room architecture an...
This paper aims at presenting an innovative methodological approach to identify the heat storage and heat conductivity coefficients of a smart house. For this purpose, an experimental room is selected and heated to a high degree and then left for coo...
Elastic properties of mixtures of illitic clay, thermal power plant fly ash (fluidized fly ash—FFA and pulverized fly ash—PFA), and grog were investigated during the heating and cooling stages of the firing. The grog part in the mixtures...
A fuel efficiency of a ship engine increases with cooling inlet air. This might be performed by the chillers, which transform the heat of engine exhaust gas and scavenge air for refrigeration. The effect gained due to cooling depends on the intake ai...
Heat treatment is the critical step in achieving a refined microstructure and enhanced mechanical properties of TiAl-based alloys. This study investigated the influence of heat treatment temperature, cooling method, and heat treatment time on the mic...
Archon2 is a fluorescent voltage sensor derived from Archaerhodopsin 3 (Arch) of Halorubrum sodomense using robotic multidimensional directed evolution approach. Here we report absorption and emission spectroscopic studies of Archon2 in Tris buffer a...
A suspended open-type ceiling radiant cooling panel (CRCP) has been proposed recently. The main challenge is improving its cooling performance to overcome limitations for extensive use. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the design of CRCPs with...
In high-temperature geothermal wells, the formation usually has extremely high abrasiveness, hardness, and temperature, which pose severe challenges to drilling tools. Among them, the interaction between the cutter of the drill bit and the rock is th...
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of a closed loop lake water heat pump (LWHPs) system based on the slinky coiled configuration. Initially, a mathematical model is developed in the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) for the heat pump syst...
The pre-heating of dental resin-based composites (RBCs) improves adaptability to cavity walls, reducing microleakages. However, the rapid cooling of the pre-heated RBC may change the polymerization kinetics, and thus the final network configuration o...
Compared to traditional temperature measurement methods, ultrasonic temperature measurement technology based on the principle of resonance offers advantages such as shorter section lengths, higher signal amplitude, and reduced signal attenuation. Fir...
Heat pipes filled with a thermodynamic medium are energy-saving and stable heat exchangers that have been used for years in various fields of science and technology, including building heating and cooling installations. This article presents the resu...
Diffusers producing radial jets attached to the ceiling are most often used in ventilation and air conditioning systems. In building ventilation, the temperature of the jet supplying the air into the rooms is usually different to the surrounding air...
One of the most energy-intensive facilities requiring a comprehensive and well-optimised cooling system is the data centre. Air containment across the data centre is a key thermal management and energy-saving strategy that enhances the performance of...
To reduce the inaccuracy in energy efficiency evaluation, indoor and outdoor dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperature (D&WBT) tolerances in the currently enacted Chinese room air conditioner (RAC) national standard were tightened into narrower intervals...
The synthesis of lightweight yet strong-ductile materials has been an imperative challenge in alloy design. In this study, the CoCrNi-based medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) with added Al and Si were manufactured by vacuum arc melting furnace subsequently...
The present study reports the effect of phosphorus content in deposited electroless nickel (Ni–P) coatings, the heat treatment on the microhardness and its microstructural characteristics, and the influence of the temperature on the microstruct...
The quality of probiotics has been associated with bacteria and yeast strains’ contents and their stability against conditioning factors. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), as a non-destructive, fast, real-time, and cost-effective analytical te...
