The mobilized thermal energy storage system (M-TES) has been demonstrated as a promising technology to supply heat using waste heat in industries to distributed users, where heat discharging determines whether M-TES system can satisfy the required heating rate. The objective of this work is to investigate the solidification mechanism of phase change materials (PCM) for heat discharging in a dir...

Phase change memory (PCM) has been considered an attractive alternative to flash memory and DRAM. It has promising features, including non-volatile storage, byte addressability, fast read and write operations, and supports random accesses. However, there are challenges in designing algorithms for PCM-based memory systems, such as longer write latency and higher energy consumption compared to DR...

The combination of the coupled cluster (CC) method with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) of solvation requires a much larger computational effort than gas phase CC calculations, since the PCM contribution depends nonlinearly on the CC reduced density: perturbation theory energy and density (PTED) scheme. An approximation can be introduced that neglects the "correlation" PCM contribution an...

conclusions pcm has not been reported in iran until now, but it should be considered as a differential diagnosis when risk factors or symptoms of pcm are detected. case presentation a 72-year-old man had a four-year history of dyspnea, dry cough, and weakness and a recent weight loss of more than 10 kg. first, he was treated with glucocorticoid, but he did not continue this treatment. core need...

In the continuous quest for improving TD-DFT methodologies as a tool to predict the photophysical features of solvated chromophores, we investigate two model regioisomers based on the 1,2,3-triazole moiety. Starting from their experimental absorption and emission spectra, key energy differences highlighting the main trends between the two isomers are extracted and used to gauge the accuracy of ...

many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (asf) of such systems. in this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (pcm) in sdhw systems is modelled and optimized numer...

Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) enable geographically dispersed users to interact with each other in a virtual environment. A key factor to the success of a DIA is the maintenance of a consistent view of the shared virtual world for all the participants. However, maintaining consistent states in DIAs is difficult under real networks. State changes communicated by messages over such ...

In the present paper, an experimental assessment was performed on the transient thermal performance of a heat sink filled by a phase change material (PCM) and PCM embedded with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and titania (TiO2) nanoparticles as nanostructured materials. In order to enhance the thermal conductivity of PCM, CNFs and TiO2 nanoparticles at different loadings (0.5wt. % and 2 wt.% of CNFs a...
