A new model for cooling flows in X-ray clusters, capable of naturally explaining salient features observed, is proposed. The only requirement is that a significant relativistic component, in the form of cosmic rays (CR), be present in the intra-cluster medium and significantly frozen to the thermal gas. Such an addition qualitatively alters the conventional isobaric thermal instability criterio...

2.2 Heating and cooling systems The power of the global heating/cooling system has been voluntarily oversize in order to generate an artificial climate whatever the season in the large room. The mains components are: a reversible air-to-water heat pump: 40 kW a second heat pump (only chilled water) : 24 kW an electric coil (24 kW) two regulated fans (supplied & exhausted air) : 0-6000 m3/h a ru...

Occurrence of Hysteresis like behavior of resistance of Sb 2 Te 3 film in heating-cooling cycle. Abstract Experimental observations of a peculiar behavior observed on heating and cooling Sb 2 Te 3 films at different heating and cooling rate are detailed. The film regained its original resistance, forming a closed loop, on the completion of the heating-cooling cycle which was reproducible for id...

Standard office building control systems operate the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning on a fixed schedule, based upon anticipated occupancy and use of the building. This study introduces and illustrates a method for integrated building heating, cooling and ventilation control to reduce energy consumption and maintain indoor temperature set points, based on the prediction of occupant b...

We simulate the effects of viscous dissipation of waves that are generated by AGN activity in clusters of galaxies. We demonstrate that the amount of viscous heating associated with the dissipation of these waves can offset radiative cooling rates in cooling flow clusters of galaxies. This heating mechanism leads to spatially distributed and approximately symmetrical dissipation. The heating wa...

Fast pulsed magnets with ferrite yokes are used in CERN’s SPS accelerator for beam injection, extraction and excitation for tune measurements. The impedance of the ferrite structures can provoke significant beam induced heating, especially for beams with high peak currents as for LHC operation, even beyond the Curie temperature. The expected heating in the different kicker systems for various o...

Solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems are currently attracting attention, especially in times of increasing energy prices supply crises. In lower prices, absorption SHC were not competitive to compression supported by photovoltaic (PV) modules due the high investment costs total efficiency. This paper aims discuss current changes terms feasibility application a small system mild Mediterranean...
