Dew computing is an emerging new research area and has great potentials in applications. In this paper, we propose a revised definition of dew computing. The new definition is: Dew computing is an on-premises computer software-hardware organization paradigm in the cloud computing environment where the on-premises computer provides functionality that is independent of cloud services and is also ...

In order to understand how nocturnal net radiative loss affects dew formation, a shielding experiment was carried out in a rice field at the International Rice Research Institute during 16 nights in February, March, and April 1994. Four plots (with an area of 4×5 m for each) in the field were used to measure the dew amount and duration in the rice crops. During each night, two of the four plots...

Heat exchangers are commonly used in industrial fields such as air conditioning, petrochemical and agriculture-food industries. The design and utilization of a heat exchanger should fulfill some conditions of performance, economy and space requirement. The most widely operated heat exchangers make use of fin-and-tube configuration in association with the application of heating, ventilating, air...
