introduction air pollution is one of the critical challenges in metropolitans around the world. according to world health organization (who), three millions people die from air pollution annually. in some studies mortality costs by air pollution was estimated. social cost of air pollution was estimated 28990 billions rials in tehran city. the mortality cost by air pollution was estimated about ...

Patient warming significantly decreases the risk of surgical site infection. Recently there have been concerns that forced air warming may interfere with unidirectional airflow, potentially posing an increased risk of infection. Our null hypothesis was that forced air and radiant warming devices do not increase the temperature and the number of particles over the surgical site when compared wit...

Exercise I. Optimization of a heater. We want to optimize the temperature T of a room Ω by the mean of a heater ω whose heat flux v ∈ L(ω) is controlled. An air stream of velocity u fills the room. We assume that the air is incompressible, that is u is assumed to be divergence free. Moreover, u is also assumed to be regular. The temperature on the boundary of the room is equal to the external t...

Exercise I. Optimization of a heater. We want to optimize the temperature T of a room Ω by the mean of a heater ! whose heat flux v ∈ L(!) is controlled. An air stream of velocity u fills the room. We assume that the air is incompressible, that is u is assumed to be divergence free. Moreover, u is also assumed to be regular. The temperature on the boundary of the room is equal to the external t...

In this work, a Co-Fe-Ni catalyst was prepared and the effect of a range of operational variables such as gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), calcination temperature, calcination time and agent on its catalytic performance for green-fuels production was investigated. By application of different characterization techniques such as XRD, BET, TGA/DSC, and SEM, it was found that these parameters have...

This paper examines the performance of five different air terminal devices for personalized ventilation in relation to the quality of air inhaled by a breathing thermal manikin in a climate chamber. The personalized air was supplied either isothermally or non-isothermally (6°C cooler than the room air) at flow rates ranging from less that 5 L/s up to 23 L/s. The air quality assessment was based...

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at the pressure of 10-6 mbar by thermal resistor evaporation technique. The effects of annealing on the structural, optical properties of ZnS films were studied. Crystalline ZnS films have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Only cubic phase with the preferred (111) plane was found in ZnS films. Optical characteristics were studie...

The air-side economizers have been developed as a major class of energy-saving equipment to enhance the energy efficiency of central air-conditioning systems by taking advantage of outdoor air during cool or cold weather. In current practice, the outdoor air damper is controlled to maintain either the maximum or minimum opening by comparing the outdoor air temperature/enthalpy with the setpoint...

this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the heat transfer performance and the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. the bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (th) while the top wall of the channel is maintained at a relatively low temperature (tc). air wi...
