In this paper, we consider a class of first-order hyperbolic distributed parameter systems. Our focus is on the design of a new class of model predictive control schemes using a quasi-Shannon wavelet basis. First, the first-order hyperbolic distribut...
Cooling of gas turbine blades is critical to long term durability. Accurate prediction of blade metal temperature is a key component in the design of the cooling system. In this design space, spatial distribution of heat transfer coefficients plays a...
Thermoelectric (TE) waste heat recovery has attracted significant attention over the past decades, owing to its direct heat-to-electricity conversion capability and reliable operation. However, methods for application-specific, system-level TE design...
A nanofluid is composed of a base fluid with a suspension of nanoparticles that improve the base fluid’s thermophysical properties. In this work, the authors have conducted experimental tests on an alumina-based nanofluid (Al2O3/H2O) moving ins...
This article presents a field test of how deep renovation affects indoor climate quality. The studied apartment building was built in 1968 and is located in Finland, within the Nordic climate zone. The deep renovation included façade repair wi...
The integration of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems into heritage buildings poses a series of challenges, largely attributable to architectural constraints and conservation requirements. The present study offers an operational...
As a key component for maintaining the efficient and stable operation of flexible DC transmission systems, the arm reactor often suffers from uneven loss distribution and localized overheating in its windings due to the superimposed AC and DC current...
