analyses and thermal infrared channels 4 and 5 noaa- avhrr images. this research was carried out in lut desert located in center of sub-tropical divergence dominant in' iranian plateau. the physical and thermal properties of the various desert surfaces have been determined using correlation relationships between the desert variables including: dark sand, normal sand, marl, saline soil, soil dep...

In this study, we discussed the effects on the thermal comfort of super high-rise residences that how effected by the high thermal capacity structural components. We considered different building orientations, structures, and insulation methods. We used the dynamic simulation software THERB (simulation of the thermal environment of residential buildings). It can estimate the temperature, humidi...

using hartree–fock (hf) and ِِdensity functional theory (dft) calculations the thermodynamic properties such as thermal energy , , thermal enthalpy , , thermal entropy , , thermal gibbs free energy , , heat capacity ,cv, and molecular structures of several species involving in keto↔enol tautomerism related to acetaldehyde (a), 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone) and  acetylacetone (aa) h...

The object of the present paper is to study temperature distribution and thermal stresses of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with temperature dependent material properties. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio are assumed to be dependent on temperature. The nonlinear heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity is reduced t...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) is used in computational heat transfer to determine the thermal response of nanostructures. Finding basis in classical statistical mechanics, MD relates the thermal energy of the atom to its momentum by the equipartition theorem. Momenta of atoms in an ensemble are determined by solving Newton’s equations with inter-atomic forces derived from Lennard-Jones potentials. St...

novel collagen-based hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized by graft copolymerization of acrylamide and maleic anhydrid in the presence of different amounts of montmorillonite, using methylenebisacrylamide (mba)and ammonium persulfate (aps) as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. the optimum amount of clay on the swelling properties of the samples was studied. it was found that the hydrog...

In this study, polyaniline-graphene composites with different nano-structures are synthesized and the behaviour of the obtained composites serving as electrode materials in electrochemical capacitors is studied. The morphology, crystal structure, and thermal stability of the composites are examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermal gravimetric analys...

The present paper discusses the development of a performance model of power generation system of a thermal plant for performance evaluation using Markov technique and probabilistic approach. The study covers two areas: development of a predictive model and evaluation of performance with the help of developed model. The present system of thermal plant under study consists of four subsystems with...
