The ultrasonic velocity, density and refractive indices have been measured for systems at 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15 and 323.15 K. From the experimental data adiabatic compressibility (βs), intermolecular free length (L f ), internal pressure (π), acoustic impedance (Z), molar refraction (Rm), Polarisability, (αp), thermal expansion coefficient (α), Rao’s molar sound function (R), solvation...

The aim of this research is to explore the potentialities and limits integration remote sensing biophysical data (land surface temperature) in outdoor thermal comfort studies. Accordingly, by examining correlations between land temperature air temperature, using respectively satellite MODIS different weather stations archives alongside questionnaire surveys. Currently, parameters indices are us...

This work on outdoor thermal comfort tends to highlight and affirm the contribution of vegetation in a climatically hostile environment by being very hot dry, this effect creating more forgiving microclimate terms atmosphere was highlighted simulations situ measurements, semi-open public space with set mature ficus retusa trees that we cut later, way, it gives us an unexpected important opportu...

In the past, numerous simple thermal indices have been developed in order to describe the complex conditions of heat exchange between the human body and its thermal environment. For cold conditions the approaches consider combinations of temperature and wind velocity, focusing on the turbulent flux of sensible heat with the windchill equivalent temperature as the best example. Heat load conditi...

Air pre-cooling equipment is normally being employed in air-conditioning systems for pre-cooling the ambient outdoor air to enhance the air-conditioning systems performance. In this study, the potential of a passive water-to-air heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHEX) for air pre-cooling purpose in air-conditioning systems for the high cooling load demanding regions of Iran was investigated. To ...

Exposure to extreme heat is a significant public health problem and the primary cause of weather-related mortality, which can be anticipated by accurately predicting outdoor thermal sensation. Empirical models have shown better accuracy in sensation than most frequently used theoretical indices, ignored adaptability local climate resulted underestimating or overestimating neutral levels residen...
