Reduction of energy consumption and rise of cooling is a major concern in the air conditioning system especially in the area with very hot weather conditions. In hot weather conditions, the air conditioner takes more electrical power consumption to bring the comfort in specified area. In many Middle East countries, the atmospheric temperature approaches 40°C to 50°C or sometimes higher. During ...

BACKGROUND Periods of unusually hot weather, especially in temperate climates, carry with them a burden of morbidity and mortality, particularly in urban areas. With lessening debate on its origins, and signs of global warming already apparent, it is becoming imperative for public health practitioners to recognize and predict the risks of "heat waves", and to develop protective community respon...

despite the similar performance of bazaar1 in different cities of iran, there are some the skeletal differences between markets in different climates. the bazaar roof protects customers against natural events in any climate. the ceiling height and the sitting down of the bazaar`s floor are determined based on the need for air circulation and movement in various climates. hence, combination of a...

In this paper comprehensive studies have been carried out for the design optimization of a waste heat recovery system for effectively utilizing the domestic air conditioner heat energy for Keywords—Air-conditioning system, Energy conversion system, Hot water production from waste heat, Waste heat recovery system.

Drying of green peas in a Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particle, heated by combined sources of hot air and InfraRed (IR) radiation, has been experimentally and theoretically studied. For this purpose, an experimental set up was constructed. This setup was composed of a cylindrical bed dryer containing some inert particles which are fluidized by hot air. Some infrar...

In this paper,&#10 the application of evaporative cooling for refrigeration cycle to reduce power consumption in hot climates is emphasized. Experimental and analytical investigations were performed in order to specify the effect of evaporative cooling condenser instead of the commonly used air cooling condenser in window-air-conditioners. Evaporative condenser can reject more heat, thereby pre...

This report evaluates residential ventilation systems for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) ENERGY STAR ® Homes program and recommends mechanical ventilation strategies for new, low-infiltration, energy-efficient, single-family, ENERGY STAR production (site-built tract) homes in four climates: cold, mixed (cold and hot), hot humid, and hot arid. Our group in the Energy Analysis...

OBJECTIVES Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are a major irritant to children and their parents around the world. Each year millions of children are infested with head lice, a condition known as pediculosis, which is responsible for tens of millions of lost school days. Head lice have evolved resistance to many of the currently used pediculicides; therefore, an effective new treatment for h...
