[ 1 ] - Experimental and numerical study of natural ventilation in four-sided wind tower traps

In the past, wind towers were applied as the main architectural part of building construction in the desert areas of Iran. These almost high structures were used as cooling load suppliers at residential buildings. In the present study, the effect of symmetric four-sided wind tower in flow induction to the bottom space has been analysed by using a wind tunnel and numerical simulations. In the nu...

[ 2 ] - بررسی تأثیر سیستم هوشمند هشدار برخورد از جلو طراحی شده بر عملکرد رانندگی در شرایط وجود فعالیت ثانویه: مطالعه میدانی

Background and aims: Occurrence of crashes and forward collisions, one of the most frequent types of roads and highways incidents, is mostly resulted by drivers’ distraction. Forward collision warning systems (FCWS) are of the technologies which may improve driver’s situational awareness, and consequently driving performance. The present study has aimed to design an intelligent forw...

[ 3 ] - بررسی تأثیر توجه تقسیم شده حاصل از درگیری شناختی بر عملکرد رانندگان افراد بالای 65 سال

Introduction: Driving is a complex task engaging high level of cognitive and motor processes. Adding to this complexity, engagement in cognitive secondary tasks such as talking with other passengers, speaking on the cell phone or listening to radio may effect driving performance. In addition, age-related cognitive limitations may adversely challenge driving performance. As the number of elderly...

[ 4 ] - Study of flow and heat transfer characteristics in a periodic zigzag channel for cooling of polymer electrolyte fuel cells

In this study, a periodic zigzag channel with rectangular cross-section has been used in order to obtain a high-efficiency system for cooling a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. An appropriate function of fuel cells and enhancement of their lifetime require uniform temperature conditions of around 80°C. On the other hand, due to volume and weight constraints, a low-density compact heat exchanger i...
