The automotive domain is a very good candidate for energy management, particularly due to the huge amounts of lost by heat through exhaust and water-cooling systems. This makes optimization vehicle cooling modules directly related consumption carbon dioxide emission. In this context, contemporary designs that employ diffusers between forward-facing an automobile its exchanger subjected airflow ...

This paper discusses the possibility of increasing the energy performance of thermal brick through integration with two different technologies: the first is based on the insertion of phase change material (PCM) inside the enclosures of the bricks, while the second involves covering the internal surface of the enclosures with low emissivity coating. PCM was employed to increase the thermal mass ...

Zigzag ZnS thin films prepared by thermal evaporation method using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. ZnS films with zigzag structure were produced at deposition angles of 0˚, 60˚ and 80˚ at room temperature on glass substrates. Surface morphology of the films w:as char:acterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The optical properties of the specimens were i...

Abstract Simulation of welding residual stresses and distortions has been applied mostly for small‐scale components, smaller than those in civil engineering structures, due to the high requirements computational capacities. In present study, work hypotheses, which can reduce load simulations an accepted sacrifice accuracy, are discussed. A series thermal analyses is carried out, order check val...

An attempt is made to analyse the effect of variation in thermal properties in Fibre Metal Laminate with an implanted delamination. This work focuses to explore the variations in thermal contrast for the increase in values of thermal properties of delamination, Aluminium layers and glass reinforced epoxy layers. The paper projects the numerical investigations towards the thermal analysis of fib...
