The objective of this study is to improve the design of hydronic radiant panel systems through the understanding of the thermal performance of panel systems. The scope of this study includes performing experiments using testing facilities and the radiant panel ceiling in the Energy Research House, and developing a theoretical model that can predict heat transfer from a radiant ceiling panel. In...

Rayleigh scattering temperature measurements were obtained in a turbulent reactive swirling coaxial jet discharged from a swirl-stabilized burner along the jet-flame centerline. They are reported up to 10 fuel nozzle diameters downstream of the burner exit at a Reynolds number of 29000. The effect of swirl numbers (S=0.3, 0.58, 1.07) on the temperature fields, the power spectral density of temp...

In the last five years, everolimus has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of different origins; its efficacy and safety were explored in the RADIANT trials, the last of which (RADIANT-4) has been recently published (December 2015). Overall, evidence collected from the RADIANT studies holds promise to change clinical practice for the treatment of NETs.In this ...

Porous media combustion (PMC) is an active field of research with a number potential advantages over free-flame combustors. A key contributor to these phenomena the interphase heat exchange and recirculation from products upstream reactants. In this paper, we present network model that captures conjugate transfer in pore-resolved 2D simulations PMC. series are presented varying solid conduction...

The energy performance of radiant slab cooling relative to conventional air systems to be clarified for climates from cold and dry to very hot and humid. EnergyPlus simulations were used to compare the energy performance of 1) radiant slab cooling combined with a dedicated outdoor air system and 2) a variable air volume system. Simulation results show that the radiant slab system provided 10% t...

The stabilization of a planar premixed flame front on lattice (porous) burner is considered. developed model captures all the important features phenomenon, while also admitting qualitative analytical investigation. It has been rigorously mathematically proven that there exist two different regimes: one with located nearby surface burner, and another inside lattice. These regimes result in qual...

In this paper, we present a transfer function representation of a general one-dimensional combustor. The input of the transfer function is a heat rate perturbation of a burner and the output is a flow velocity perturbation at the burner. This paper considers a general combustor model composed of multiple cans with different cross sectional areas, along with a non-zero flow rate. Keywords—Thermo...
