Abstract:

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 solar gains. In summer, it is a thermal regulating space, delaying diurnal peak of temperature towards the end of the day. Overheating can be avoided with natural ventilation and a good use of the relation glazed loggia-adjacent space. This result leads to the possibility of retrofitting glazed loggias in hard climates, such as in Constantine (Algeria). To define criteria being able to return this addition, favourable and adapted to the winter and the aestival thermal comfort of adjacent space, a simulation is carried.  But the only inves tigation is discussed in this paper.

Visual Simulation of Glazed Frost Considering the Supercooled State

We propose a method for simulating glazed frost by computing heat transfers between water droplets and the surrounding air. Motions of air and water droplets are computed based on a FLIP (Fluid-Implicit-Particle)based fluid solver. Glazed frost is a crystal clear ice and formed from supercooled raindrops that freeze when they hit object surfaces. We propose a method to create an animation of gl...

Radioactivity Measurements on Glazed Ceramic Surfaces

A variety of commonly available household and industrial ceramic items and some specialty glass materials were assayed by alpha pulse counting and ion chamber voltage measurements for radioactivity concentrations. Identification of radionuclides in some of the items was performed by gamma spectroscopy. The samples included tableware, construction tiles and decorative tiles, figurines, and other...

Orthodontic bracket bonding to glazed full-contour zirconia

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effects of different surface conditioning methods on the bond strength of orthodontic brackets to glazed full-zirconia surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS Glazed zirconia (except for the control, Zirkonzahn Prettau) disc surfaces were pre-treated: PO (control), polishing; BR, bur roughening; PP, cleaning with a prophy cup and pumice; HF, hydrofluoric acid etchi...
