Disruption mitigation remains a critical and unresolved issue for ITER. Measurement uncertainties preventing quantification of a system's efficacy remains a significant hurdle in producing and validating a viable disruption mitigation system. This study ad ...
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
Due to their simple design and operation, solar thermal collectors for domestic hot water gener-ation and space heating are one of the most common solar energy harvesting systems in use today. Dur-ing cold periods all the absorbed energy is useful. During ...
Controlled melting and solidification in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) is of practical interest, for example, in latent heat storage applications. The choice of PCMs and the dynamic heat transfer characteristics during phase change - affecting ...
Experimental heat transfer measurements are used in a wide range of fields, for example to validate new cooling concepts in turbomachinery, to assess the performances of heat exchangers, and to provide data for numerical simulations. A particular challenge ...
The use of cellular ceramics in enhancing the performance of a high-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage unit was investigated. A detailed design methodology is presented, which consists of a combined analytical-numerical analysis followed by a m ...
In the context of global warming, it is important to find solutions to decrease emission of greenhouse gases. It becomes clear that reducing energy consumption will be a big part of this challenge. The operation of buildings (heating, cooling and lighting) ...
In this study, total heat transfer rate and pressure drop along a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) with 6 porous baffles are numerically investigated. To study the impacts of segmental porous baffles, three values for the permeability (10(-9) m(2), 10( ...
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. If we ...
This paper addresses the problem of face presentation attack detection using different image modalities. In particular, the usage of short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging is considered. Face presentation attack detection is performed using recent models based ...
