Solar radiant heating of a rotating solid cylinder

Comparison of Thermal Comfort by Radiant Heating and Convective Heating

Currently, convective heating with a heat-pump system, which has high energy efficiency, is popular for room heating. However, it is possible that energy savings using convective heating can be further improved using heat pumps that service both occupied and unoccupied spaces. Moreover, convective heating increases vertical temperature gradients in a room; thus, it is hard to say whether occupa...

Instability of the vertical annular flow with a radial heating and rotating inner cylinder

Performances of Low Temperature Radiant Heating Systems

The low temperature radiant systems are very complex because they involve different mechanisms of heat transfer: heat conduction through the walls, heat convection between the heating panel and the indoor air, heat radiation between the heating panel and the surrounding areas, and the heat conduction between the floor and the ground. The main essence of the low-temperature air systems is to pro...

Steady-Periodic Heating of a Cylinder

Continuous Heating of a Hollow Cylinder*

7. The essence of the method of characteristics is the following. Suppose the flow is to be determined in the channel of Fig. 4 and the flow is known up to the line I. Select points A and B on line I. At these points the velocity, the direction of flow, etc., is known. Thus characteristics Ca and Cb can be drawn. Equation (17) used along the two different characteristics gives two equations for...
