Heat damage to seed can occur as a result of the cumulative effects of respiration and fungal heating, and by the accumulation and retention of radiant heat within the seed mass following harvest both situations being collectively referred to as ‘field heating’. Another type of heating damage occurs in heated air drying systems. Excessive drying air temperature can have deleterious effects on s...

Design of a thermally comfortable indoor environment requires detailed information about distribution of air velocity, air temperature, relative humidity, and mean radiant temperature and about heating/cooling load in a space. This research has developed a coupled airflow-and-energy simulation program to calculate simultaneously the distributions of indoor airflow and thermal comfort and heatin...

A. A. Minea, Technical University Gheorghe Asachi from IASI, Romania In this paper an experimental and empirical methods are proposed to estimate the heat transfer enhancement in industrial heating processes in oval furnaces. An investigation was conducted to study the suitability of inserting radiant panels of diff erent positions and radiation surface. Two case studies were considered. The ma...

This paper describes results of a field measurement in which the feasibility low temperature heating and performance improvement by means convection enhancement around radiators were examined radiant with plastic multi-tubular an existing reinforced concrete house without thermal insulation. Radiant can make both room air temperatures MRTs 22〜25℃ PMVs 0 〜± 0.5 supply being 30〜36℃. Convection sm...

The paper investigates the effects of radiant heat transfer on the viscous reactive flows. The nonlinear governing equations are transformed into nondimensionalised form using some nondimensional variables. Approximate solutions are constructed first, for the governing non-linear boundary value problem before using approximate analytical solution (Adomian Decomposition Method) and the results w...

Sauna therapy has been used for hundreds of years in the Scandinavian region as a standard health activity. Studies document the effectiveness of sauna therapy for persons with hypertension, congestive heart failure, and for post-myocardial infarction care. Some individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic fatigue, chronic pain, or addictions also find benefit. Existin...
