Day-and-night radiative sky cooling has emerged as a potential alternative to conventional technologies such refrigeration-based air conditioning and evaporative wet cooling. Both can passively achieve sub-ambient without consuming electricity. Although both techniques are subject impacts from various weather conditions, the extents of under same conditions not well understood. In this work, we...

The performance of proton-exchange membrane fuel cell cooling system using coolant flow channels enhanced with baffles was numerically investigated. To do this, the maximum temperature of the cooling plate, temperature uniformity and also pressure drop along the flow channels were compared for different cases associated with number of baffles and their dimensions inside the channels. The govern...

Abstract This work is a continuation of previous effort (Panaitescu) to study the cooling relativistic electrons through radiation (synchrotron and self-Compton) emission adiabatic losses, with application spectra light curves synchrotron gamma-ray burst (GRB) produced by such electrons. Here, we derive low-energy slope β LE GRB pulse- integrated spectrum quantify implications measured distribu...

Numerical simulations of a three-dimensional model of impingement and film cooling on a flat plate are presented and validated with the available experimental data. Four different turbulence models were utilized for simulation, in which SST  had the highest precision, resulting in less than 4% maximum error in temperature estimation. A simplified geometry with periodic boundary conditions is de...

Although pre-cooling is known to enhance exercise performance, the optimal cooling intensity is unknown. We hypothesized that mild cooling opposed to strong cooling circumvents skin vasoconstriction and thermogenesis, and thus improves cooling efficiency reflected in improved time to exhaustion. Eight males undertook three randomized trials, consisting of a pre-cooling and an exercise session. ...

In this research multiple-regression analysis with stepwise selection method was employed for investigating the effectof vertical building envelopes solar radiation (Evr) on cooling energy consumption (E cooling) in residential sector.The high capacity of solar energy in semi-arid climate (Shiraz) can provide a part of buildings required energy. Dependson house orientations in two directions of...
