Passive Solar Technique Using Trombe Wall - A Sustainable Approach

Heat Transfer in Buildings: Application to Solar Air Collector and Trombe Wall Design

The aim of this paper is to briefly recall heat transfer modes and explain their integration within a software dedicated to building simulation (CODYRUN). Detailed elements of the validation of this software are presented and two applications are finally discussed. One concerns the modeling of a flat plate air collector and the second focuses on the modeling of Trombe solar walls. In each case,...

Passive Solar Lighting Using Fiber Optics

Treatment of solar prolapse using the heart bar shoe and dorsal hoof wall resection technique.

This paper describes the treatment of 10 horses suffering from acute laminitis using the heart bar shoe and a dorsal hoof wall resection technique. All cases had progressed to prolapse of the tip of the pedal bone covered by solar corium through the horny sole; in one case the exposed tip of the distal phalanx became visible. Nine cases of distal phalangeal rotation and one case of distal displ...

Improvement of thermal performance of a solar chimney based on a passive solar heating system with phase-change materials

Passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. Therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. Phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the...

Copy- Move Forgery Detection Using Passive Technique

An extensive growth in digital technology has resulted in tampering of image. Image plays an important role in today’s digital world. Powerful image editing tools has made it difficult to determine whether the image is authentic or forged. The main objective of this paper is to detect the forgery in which a part of the image is copied and pasted on to same image without the information of the o...
