Data are related to the numerical simulation performed in the study entitled "CFD modeling to evaluate the thermal performances of window frames in accordance with the ISO 10077" (Malvoni et al., 2016) [1]. The paper focuses on the results from a two-dimensional numerical analysis for ten frame sections suggested by the ISO 10077-2 and performed using GAMBIT 2.2 and ANSYS FLUENT 14.5 CFD code. ...

Existing space-filling designs are based on the assumption that the experimental region is rectangular, while in practice this assumption can be violated. Motivated by a data center thermal management study, a class of probability-based Latin hypercube designs is proposed to accommodate a specific type of irregular regions. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to efficiently search for optimal des...

Abstract—The article presents an application of Fractional Model Predictive Control (FMPC) to a fractional order thermal system using Controlled Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (CARIMA) model obtained by discretization of a continuous fractional differential equation. Moreover, the output deviation approach is exploited to design the K -step ahead output predictor, and the correspondi...

To obtain a higher heat transfer in the low Reynolds number flows, wavy channels are often employed in myriad engineering applications. In this study, the geometry of grooves shapes is parameterized by means of four angles. By changing these parameters new geometries are generated and numerical simulations are carried out for internal fully developed flow and heat transfer. Results are compared...

How fluctuating temperatures influence reptilian embryos and hatchlings has attracted increasing scientific attention, but is poorly known. We conducted an incubation experiment with a factorial design of two mean temperatures (24 vs. 28 degrees C) and three diel thermal fluctuations (0, +/-3, +/-6 degrees C) to determine the effects of diel thermal fluctuations and mean temperature on incubati...

In this work, a novel detailed dynamic model for latent cold thermal storage unit containing water as phase change material (PCM) is presented. The proposed based on transient energy balances both PCM capsules and heat transfer fluid (HTF). apparent capacity approach used to transition processes in PCM, where the given temperature-dependent function. This method can be simply integrated into va...

Thermal analysis of continuous and patterned multilayer films in the presence of a nanoscale hot spot" (2016). Thermal responses of multilayer films play essential roles in state-of-the-art electronic systems, such as photo/micro-electronic devices, data storage systems, and silicon-on-insulator transistors. In this paper, we focus on the thermal aspects of multilayer films in the presence of a...

In previous laboratory study, we have shown the thermal behavior of Keke Ya light crude oil Tarim oilfield, branch of CNPC for high-pressure air injection HPAI application potential study. To clarify the influences of thermal effects on oil production, in this paper, we derived a mathematical model for calculating oil flow rate, which is based on the heat conduction property in porous media fro...
