This study integrates photovoltaic (PV) system, building structure, and heat flow mechanism to propose the notion of ventilated Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) walls. The energy-saving potential of the ventilated BIPV walls was investigated via engineering considerations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results show that the heat removal rate and indoor heat gain ...

Contamination of water resources with petroleum products is a serious environmental problem. The current study was carried out to investigate the effect of using raw and heat activated red mud (RM) as adsorbent to remove insoluble fraction of gasoline from aqueous solution. Some parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial concentration were optimized in adsorption process to...

The aim of this research work is to evaluate the effects of coolant including nano- powder material for the cooling purpose in milling process and comparing the results with the conventional coolant. Generation heat and weak heat transfer reduces the tool life and also deteriorate surface roughness during milling operation. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to use coolant for cooling as...

.A lead-based reactor with employing heat pipes as passive residual removal system (PRHRS) for longterm decay was designed. Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT adopted to simulate the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of PRHRS under Station-Black-Out (SBO) accident condition. The results showed that in core could be removed smoothly by PRHRS, and temperature dif...

today laser has a lot of usage in medicine and dentistry. in the field of dentistry, laser is used in soft tissue surgery, sterilization of canals (in root canal therapy) and in restorative dentistry laser is used for cavity preparation, caries removal, sealing the grooves (in preventive dentistry), etching enamel and dentin, composite polymerization and removal of tooth sensitivity. the use of...

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...

The energy resources of nature are limited. According to the report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), there is 19% of the energy used for illumination. It's well known that LED is an excellent choice to instead the incandescent lamp for saving energy. But the other question comes out while the high power LED is applied. There is only about 20% of the input power converts to light ener...

Fuzzy set theory is applied to quantify the non-probabilistic uncertainty alternatively termed as epistemic uncertainty. An algorithm “Fuzzy Centered Radius” has been developed for quantification of epistemic uncertainty. Uncertainty analysis is also carried out using fuzzy vertex method. Analytical solution of one dimension heat conduction and numerical solution of heat removal from circular f...
