induction heating is widely used in metal industry for melting or heating thin slabs in a continuous casting plant. the wide application is based on good efficiency, high production rate and non-polluting conditions. for designing a parallel resonant induction heating system, calculating the capacitance for the resonant circuit is important, because its value affects resonance frequency, output...

In design of a parallel resonant induction heating system, choosing a proper capacitancefor the resonant circuit is quite important. The capacitance affects the resonant frequency, outputpower, Q-factor, heating efficiency and power factor. In this paper, the role of equivalent seriesresistance (ESR) in the choice of capacitance is significantly recognized. Optimal value of resonancecapacitor i...

In this paper a multi-agent model for a domestic heating task is introduced and analysed. The model includes two alternative heating agents (for gas-based heating and for heatpump-based heating), and a third allocation agent which determines the most economic allocation of the heating task to these heating agents over the days in a year. For allocation decisions it is analysed how the performan...

The aim of the work is to chose the best heating system for a museum building. The paper presents the criteria describing this problem. The three technically acceptable heating systems have been identified. The method allowing for the multi-criterion analysis has been selected with the assumption that the final result will be a final ranking of all alternatives. The ELECTRE III method has been ...

the limitation of energy resources and its considerable consumption growth in iran has doubled the necessity of optimization and conservation of energy in the country compared to the average consumption rate of energy in the world and also because of high consumption rate's adverse effects in the environment. heating systems are among the main consumers of energy and using a high efficienc...

background and objective: lack of sleep (insomnia) is a common problem involving society members and inpa-tients causing different physiological effects. treatment includes a variety of several pharmacologic or other techniques. one of the non-pharmacologic methods is local heating of terminal organs (passive body heating). manipulation of body temperature is a potential therapeutic interventio...
