On the heat transfer through roof tile coverings

Accumulated snow layer influence on the heat transfer process through green roof assemblies

A green roof can reduce the peak thermal cooling loads and reduce the building energy consumption during the summer. It is also necessary to understand the thermal performance of these green roof assemblies during the winter when affected by an accumulation of snow on the rooftops. This study presents an experimental investigation and discusses the snow influence on the heat transfer processes ...

CuO/ Water Nanofluid Heat Transfer Through Triangular Ducts

Field Measurement of outside Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient on Horizontal Roof Using Naphthalene Sublimation Technique

The outside convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) of building roof is an important parameter for accurately calculating heat transfer through roof and simulating airflow around buildings. However, the correlations concerning CHTC in various studies seem to be discrepant. The experiment using naphthalene method to measuring CHTC was carried out on a nine-story building roof during 15 Augus...

Experimental Investigation on CuO/Water Nanofluid Effect on the Heat Transfer Rate of Heat Pipe Network

In this study, a new configuration of heat pipes as Heat Pipe Network is introduced. Here, the heat pipe network is designed, constructed and then has been under the performance assessment. This heat pipe network consists of 4 vertical heat pipes connected to evaporator collector from bottom and condenser collector from top. In order to investigate the effect of nanofluids on the thermal effici...

Laminar Flow Heat Transfer of a Pseudoplastic Fluid through a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger

An experimental study was carried out to obtain the mean convective heat transfer coefficient of aqueous carboximethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions in double-pipe heat <span style="font-size: 10pt; color:...
