An intuitive daylighting performance analysis and optimization approach

The effective integration of daylighting considerations into the design process requires many issues to be considered simultaneously, such as daily and seasonal variations, illumination, and thermal comfort. To address the need for early integration into t ...

Magneto-Thermal Modeling of Second-Generation HTS for Resistive Fault Current Limiter Design Purposes

Francesco Grilli, Frédéric Sirois, François Roy, Bertrand Dutoit

Coated conductors are very promising for the design of novel and efficient resistive Fault Current Limiters (FCLs). However, a detailed knowledge about their thermal and electromagnetic behaviors in the presence of over- critical currents is crucial for th ...

Thermal modeling of laser-annealing-induced crystallization of amorphous NiTi thin films

Yves Bellouard, Xi Wang

Laser annealing of shape memory alloy thin films provides new opportunities in actuator design and fabrication for microelectromechanical systems applications. In this paper, we present a three-dimensional thermal model to simulate the crystallization proc ...

Modeling of thermo-physical properties for FRP composites under elevated and high temperatures

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai, Till Vallée

A decomposition model for resin in glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) under elevated and high temperature was derived from chemical kinetics. Kinetic parameters were determined by four different methods using thermal gravimetric data at diffe ...

Facade Integration of Solar Thermal Collectors:A Breakthrough?

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Estelle De Chambrier

One main barrier to the acceptability of façade use of solar thermal collectors is their black appearance and the visibility of piping or absorber irregularities through the glazing. To facilitate façade integration, a project was set up to develop selecti ...

Flow pattern based two-phase frictional pressure drop model for horizontal tubes. Part I: Diabatic and adiabatic experimental study

John Richard Thome, Jesus Moreno Quiben

The reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow is an important prerequisite to accurate optimization of thermal systems. Because of the complexity of these types of flow, empirical or semiempirical relationships are only of limited reliability ...

On-site performance of electrochromic glazings coupled to an anidolic daylighting system

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Nicolas Morel

This work takes benefit from two advanced building technologies through the integration of an anidolic daylighting system and an electro-chromic glazing in a building facade for achieving an optimal control of the daylight flux entering in an office room. ...

Exploring Temperature-Aware Design of Memory Architectures in VLIW Systems

David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

This paper presents a thermal model to analyze the temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The use of this model allows the analysis of several factors that have an strong impact on the heat transfer: layout topology, plac ...
