this paper classifies green envelopes as green roofs and green walls according to effective factors, which were derived from literature to compare the green envelopes’ thermal and energy performance in a more effective way. for this purpose, an extensive literature review was carried out by searching keywords in databases and studying related journal papers and articles. the research method for...

in this paper, wavelet collocation method has been used to solve nonlinear fin problem with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. thermal conductivity of fin materials varies any type so that we consider thermal conductivity as the general function of temperature.  here we consider three particular cases, where we assume that thermal conductivity is constant,...

heat stress effects on physical and mental health of workers and decreases human function. asphalt workers are both exposed to the heat of their working process and to the sun heat. this study aimed at evaluating thermal stress and its following function fall and the effect of asphalt work on the degree of heat stress and asphalt workers’ physiological parameters. the present study was done at ...

The intention of this study is the analysis of thermal behavior of functionally graded beam (FGB). The distribution of material properties is imitated exponential function. For thermal loading the steady state of heat conduction with exponentially and hyperbolic variations through the thickness of FGB, is considered. With comparing of thermal behavior of both isotropic beam and FGB, it is appea...

a new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-friend and modified enskog theory. it is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density and te...

this paper presents a simplifiedlagrangian multiplier based algorithm to solve the fixed head hydrothermalscheduling problem. in fixed head hydrothermal scheduling problem, waterdischarge rate is modeled as quadratic function of hydropower generation andfuel cost is modeled as quadratic function of thermal power generation. thepower output of each hydro unit varies with the rate of water discha...

In the current research, thermal conductivity of magnetite (Fe3O4) has been calculated using molecular dynamic simulation. The rNEMD Molecular Dynamics Method provided in the LMMPS package is used for the simulation of the thermal conductivity. The effects of magnetite layer size and temperature on the thermal conductivity have been investigated. The numerical results have...
