بررسی یک استراتژی مداخله‌ای خنک‌کننده برای کاهش استرین حرارتی ناشی از لباس حفاظتی آتش‌نشانان
Introduction: Protective clothes are among the basic needs of firefighters against their occupational risks. Combination of heat stress effects caused by muscle activation and protective clothing, result in a high level of strain in the regulating system of body temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the practical cooling method of hand and forearm immersion in water. Methods: In...
متن کاملCooling water for
ions from rivers will decrease in the coming decades, unless there is widespread uptake of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). CCS may prove to be essential if the UK is to achieve its carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emission targets. ‘Decarbonisation’ strategies that rely on CCS are therefore potentially at risk of not having sufficient cooling water in periods of low river flows. In t...
متن کاملInvestigation of Radiative Cooling Using a Photonic Composite Material for Water Harvesting
The objective of this study is to design and analyse materials which are capable of harvesting water from thin air using condensation phenomenon which employs the radiative cooling approach. These passive cooling materials not only solve the water generating problems, but also employed in various cooling applications. The fundamental concept of radiative cooling is analysed and the performance ...
متن کاملCooling garments—A review
Thermal discomfort is one the major challenges during work in hot and/or humid environments like mines, foundries and arid/desert regions. Heat and moisture management is the key to prevent the workers from heat stress. Personnel protective garments alone are not sufficient to provide thermal neutrality. Auxiliary cooling garments are required to aid the process of human body cooling. This revi...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Heat Exchanger Scales in Cooling Water Systems
An experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. To collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulat...
