In this paper, on the basis of Green Comprehensive Plan at Hakim Sabzevari University of Sabzevar, Iran, the application of active solar  systems for the dining hall is evaluated. The impact of solar systems and energy management designed for this hall on energy consumption and environment was investigated.This study measures the electricity and thermal energy consumption of the dining hall , p...

Active thermography is a relatively new NDE technique, in which either a pulse or sinusoidal thermal stimulus forms the basis for conventional Pulsed (PT) and Pulsed Phase (PPT), and Lock-in (LT) Thermography respectively. Recently a new approach to active thermography was proposed in which the thermal stimulus is frequency modulated. In Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging (FMTWI), a speci...

The purpose of the present study is to determine the limits of overhead radiation to which man in thermal neutrality can be exposed without feeling discomfort . Thermal neutrality for a person is defined as a condition in which he prefers neither a higher nor a lower ambient temperature level . Thermal neutrality is a necessary condition for a person to attain thermal comfort . However, this co...

A roadblock to the development of stand-alone microscale biomedical and chemical analysis systems is the relatively high heating power requirement of the microscale reactors, which typically exceeds the capability of low cost batteries. In this study, a microchannel thermal cycling reactor design using in-channel heating and passive cooling is proposed and a numerical model has been developed. ...

ESD is a major concern for IC chip quality both from building-in-reliability requirement and from long-term field operation requirement. The damage phenomena, either from human handling or machine contact, could appear as thermal damage and oxide rupture. In this paper, the IC damage phenomena due to ESD, the effects on the IC functionality, the proper methods to overcome these with on-chip pro...

due to the increasing development in various branches of the automotive industry, the need for a comfort climate in the cabin is more sensible. however, to achieve climate comfort, hvac system consumes a considerable amount of engine power. hence, improving hvac system performance leads to more energy saving of the vehicle which is a critical factor for nowadays automotive. besides, one crucial...

We compute the full contribution of flavor and (or) Lorentz anomalies to the thermodynamic partition function. Apart from the Wess-Zumino consistency condition the Euclidean generating function must satisfy an extra requirement which we refer to as ‘consistency with the Euclidean vacuum’. The latter requirement fixes all Chern-Simons terms that arise in a particular Kaluza-Klein reduction of th...

Sanliurfa limestone is becoming increasingly popular for both interior and exterior building applications in the local area in south east Turkey, being easy to cut and shape and suitable for many purposes. Although these limestones are low cost construction materials, they are not widely used elsewhere due to the lack of data regarding their chemical, physico-thermal and mechanical properties a...
