The effects of the human convective boundary layer (CBL), room airflow patterns, and their velocities on personal exposure are examined. Two pollutants are studied which simulate particles released from the feet and generated at distances of 2 and 3 m by a ...
In the context of temporary events, the use of structural systems suitable for short-term use, is a key strategy in terms of organization. However, this type of infrastructure currently requires the implementation of significant resources, for which the ch ...
The integration of steam bottoming cycles on oil and gas platforms is currently regarded as the most promising option for improving the performance of these energy-intensive systems. In this paper, a North Sea platform is taken as case study, and a systema ...
Suitable developments of sustainable energy sources are drawn by analysing the Energy sector, considering environmental, economic and social aspects. The particular example of Switzerland is detailed with a focus on the energy consumption in the buildings. ...
This paper presents a targeting strategy to solve the heat load distribution (HLD) problem for large-scale plant by dividing the system into sub-systems while considering the heat transfer opportunities between them. The methodology is based on a sequentia ...
A thermal oil operated tube bundle heat exchanger within the off-gas from an electric arc furnace (EAF) was developed for supplying heat to an electricity generating system by empirical methods. In this process both the unsteady heat flux and the dust load ...
A decentralized adaptive solar air conditioning system is presented, which contains usual air-conditioning equipment and a new module, designed with a honeycomb structure, containing phase change material for latent thermal cold and hot energy storage. Hea ...
A new methodology is herein suggested to target the retrofit of utility system and heat exchanger network (HEN) of large-scale chemical plants for energy eciency improvement purposes. The methodology is based on the optimal site energy conversion unit inte ...
A hybrid on-chip two-phase cooling cycle specifically designed to cool server boards with chips of high performance computers was experimentally evaluated considering steady-state and transient operation of two parallel pseudo-chips and auxiliary electroni ...
This study aims to investigate the interaction between the human convective boundary layer (CBL) and uniform airflow from two directions and with different velocities. The study has two objectives: first, to characterize the velocity field in the breathing ...
