this study focuses on achieving high stiffness/strength and good fr characteristic of nylon 66/mca/nc nanocomposites, prepared via melt compounding by twin screw extruder. a synergistic effect of flame retardant systems based on melamine cyanurate and zinc borate on the flammability and mechanical behaviours of crysnanoclay reinforced nylon 66 nanocomposites have been reported. mechanical test ...

Temperature is a dominant factor in the performance, reliability, and leakage power consumption of modern microprocessors. With the advance of technology, thermal problems in microprocessor design get more crucial due to power density of microprocessors. As a result, more researchers have investigated thermal-aware techniques considering many factors such as ambient temperature 1

A numerical study is performed to investigate unsteady, two-dimensional, incompressible laminar flow over both sides of a slot-perforated flat surface, which is placed in a narrow channel. Emphasis is placed on the effect of the blockage factor, that is, the ratio of plate thickness to channel widthW on the heat-transfer performance and the velocity and thermal fields. It is found from the stud...

thermal resistance of the external walls of buildings is highly important for reducing and optimizing the energy consumption needed for heating and cooling the buildings. identifying and evaluation of the thermal performance of common external wall systems can be very effective in improving the heat resistance. the hollow clay- block system extremely are in use in the iran construction system, ...

Simple-to-fabricate woven mesh structures, consisting of bonded laminates of two-dimensional plain-weave conductive screens, or three-dimensional orthogonal weaves are described. Geometric equations show that these porous matrices can be fabricated to have a wide range of porosity and a highly anisotropic thermal conductivity vector. A mathematical model of the thermal performance of such a mes...

A simple-to-fabricate woven mesh, consisting of bonded laminates of two-dimensional plain-weave conductive screens is described. Geometric equations show that these porous matrices can be fabricated to have a wide range of porosity and a highly anisotropic thermal conductivity vector. A mathematical model of the thermal performance of such a mesh, deployed as a heat exchange surface, is develop...

in recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. the synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. a particular evolutionary algorithm (ea) is differential evolution (de). as for any ea, de algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. in this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of de ...

Industrialization and increasing demand for the consumption of fossil fuels cause that energy becomes a strategic factor. Energy crisis and the emergence of modern architecture led designers to pay more attention to the important task of building's envelope. Building skins play an important role in building thermal behavior and reduce energy consumption. If Double Skin Facades properly designed...
