Glazed Transitional Space as a Passive Heating System (Case Study: Glazed Loggias in Semi-Arid climate)
The environmental concern, ensuring comfort for occupants, pushed us to search for the impact of glazed loggia on thermal comfort of adjacent space in Cons tantine climate, having s trong climatic cons traints. An experimental s tudy is undertaken and described in this paper. Analysis of the in situ results is also discussed. This work shows that in winter glazed loggia benefit largely from sol...
متن کاملAlpine glacier-fed turbid lakes are discontinuous cold polymictic rather than dimictic
Glacier retreat as a consequence of climate change influences freshwater ecosystems in manifold ways, yet the physical and chemical bases of these effects are poorly studied. Here, we characterize how water temperature differs between alpine lakes with and without direct glacier influence on seasonal and diurnal timescales. Using high temporal resolution monitoring of temperature in 4 lakes loc...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Study on a Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System and its Feasible Applications in Greenhouses
Abstract Energy crisis is a major challenge in the current world. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are known as equipment with promising performance by which thermal energy can be recovered. In the present study a comprehensive theoretical and experimental investigation is performed on a LHTES system containing PEG1000 as phase change material (PCM). Discussed topics can be ca...
متن کاملIntroduction of meta-harzburgites using thermal originated antigorites in the Gishaki Ophiolitic area, as a part of Iranian Alpine type Ophiolites
In this paper, we investigated two originated metamorphosed harzburgites of the metaperidotite complex from the northern part of the Gishaki area. Harzburgite rocks, as main ultramafic complexes of the studied area, were exposed in the scattered location of the area. Despite intensive alterations, harzburgitic units were discriminated using petrography and Raman spectroscopy studies of relict m...
متن کاملInvestigation of changes in surface urban heat-island (SUHI) in day and night using multi-temporal MODIS sensor data products (Case Study: Tehran metropolitan)
The term urban heat island (UHI), described the phenomenon of climate change in urban areas compared with surrounding rural areas. UHI effects include: increasing in energy and water consumption, air pollution expansion and interfering in thermal comfort. Surface urban heat island (SUHI) contains patterns of land surface temperature (LST) in urban areas that has interaction with UHI in urban ca...
