The building sector alone accounts for around half of the energy consumed in Switzerland and most other developed countries, with associated adverse environmental consequences, and there is a great potential for savings in this sector. For this reason, the ...
A PCM dephaser and storage module based on a melting/freezing model was built and implemented into the Dymola-Modelica software. This software offers thermal libraries with standard components as tubes, pumps, heat exchangers, etc. Main simulation results ...
Due to the viscoelastic properties of bituminous concrete, temperature changes result in significant mechanical effects. This paper proposes a method to assess, first, the intrinsic thermophysical parameters (thermal conductivity and heat capacity) of a bi ...
The thermal performance of Fe-(12-14)Cr-2W-0.3Ti-0.3Y(2)O(3) ODS reduced activation ferritic steels, which are considered as candidate first wall materials for the future fusion power reactors and were manufactured by mechanical alloying in hydrogen and ho ...
In the perspective of setting ambitious targets for new buildings energy performance and of introducing new approaches to retrofit existing buildings, the implementation of solar thermal collectors into façade becomes very interesting Several research acti ...
Many parameters influence the falling-film evaporation process and, despite numerous studies, the basic mechanisms remain only partially clear, making the prediction of heat transfer still mainly an empirical process. The most important thermal design para ...
The energy savings potential of selected low-cost measures related to the simultaneous control of blinds, electric lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation in a single building zone (Integrated Room Automation) was investigated. The analysis was based on ...
This paper proposes and validates a daylighting design sequence for sidelit spaces. Since the design sequence uses the daylight factor as a performance metric, it is aimed towards spaces that primarily receive diffuse daylight. It should be complemented by ...
This paper investigates the influence of the choice of the cost function in the optimal control formulation for an air-to-water heat pump system. The aim is to minimize, under given thermal comfort requirements, the electricity consumption which is calcula ...
The precipitation hardened CuCrZr alloy is used in fusion machines for the heat sink of intensely cooled plasma facing components (PFC) due to its good thermal and mechanical properties. Albeit, the feedback from its application in Tore Supra (French tokam ...
