In the present study, the conjugate turbulent free convection with the thermal surface radiation in a rectangular enclosure bounded by walls with different thermophysical characteristics in the presence of a local heater is numerically studied. The effects of surface emissivity and wall materials on the air flow and the heat transfer characteristics are the main focus of the present investigati...

Infrared thermography is the preferred choice in many industrial processes for thermal diagnostics, condition monitoring, and non-destructive testing. However, the inherent uncertainty of surface emissivity affects the accuracy of temperature measurement by infrared thermography. In this paper a comprehensive experimental investigation was conducted to assess the uncertainty of infrared thermog...

This article details microfabrication of two-dimensional tungsten photonic crystals (2D W PhCs) for high-temperature applications such as selective thermal emitters for thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. In particular, interference lithography and reactive ion etching are used to produce large area single crystal tungsten 2D PhCs. For this investigation, we fabricated a 2D W PhC sample consi...

Aluminum alloys, which serve as heat sink in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, are often inherent with a high thermal conductivity, but poor thermal total emissivity. Thus, high emissive coatings on the Al substrate can enhance the thermal dissipation efficiency of radiation. In this study, the ultrasonic mechanical coating and armoring (UMCA) technique was used to insert various ceramic com...

The LED light source with low power and high luminous efficiency has been used in the automotive industry. In this study, a 15W LED fog lamp with better visibility and low price was developed using the SMD type LED modules. To this end, the thermal performance of the fog lamp was optimized by adjusting the number of heat sink fins, heat pipes and the emissivity of the heatsink. As a result, the...

We have combined infrared data with HI , H2 and HII surveys in order to spatially decompose the observed dust emission into components associated with different phases of the gas. An inversion technique is applied. For the decomposition, we use the IRAS 60 and 100 µm bands, the DIRBE 140 and 240 µm bands, as well as Archeops 850 and 2096 µm wavelengths. In addition, we apply the decomposition t...

A remote sensing method utilizing multiband thermal ble to determine in detail these characteristics directly, they are in turn estimated from land surface classifications infrared (8–12 lm) imagery that discriminates between obtained from a combination of ground observations and senescent vegetation and bare soil is described. This disremote sensing data. crimination is achieved by computing t...

The purpose of this work is to express emissivity in Meteosat-8/SEVIRI channels by means of linear combinations of LSE values in the thermal bands of MODIS sensor. Then, the developed linear models are applied to MODIS11C3 monthly CMG LST product in order to obtain LSE estimations for SEVIRI channels within Meteosat-8 disk.
