This study aims to reduce heat gain and minimise cooling energy through building envelope material as a passive design intervention strategy achieve thermal comfort. Integrated Learning Building in the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia, is used case due its air conditioning setting. First, characteristic calculated using Overall Thermal Transmission Value (OTTV) calculation determin...

Humidity is an indoor environmental factor that can affect thermal comfort inside a building. Sustainable construction techniques to create and maintain healthy indoor condition, based on ecological principles and through an efficient use of resources are the requirement nowadays. Common cause of moisture during the hot season is excessive indoor humidity, caused by an improper balance between ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin premix withdrawal from diets containing different energy levels on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broilers subjected to heat stress in a completely randomized design with 2×3 factorial arrangement containing, 2 levels of energy (low and high energy) and 3 levels of vitamin premix withdrawal (28, 35 and 42 days). ...

We analyze the high-temperature continuous-wave performance of 1.3m AlGaInAs/InP laser diodes grown by digital alloy molecular-beam epitaxy. Commercial laser software is utilized that self-consistently combines quantum-well bandstructure and gain calculations with two-dimensional simulations of carrier transport, wave guiding, and heat flow. Excellent agreement between simulation and measuremen...

This paper deals with sensor and process fault detection , isolation (FDI) and identification of an intensified heat-exchanger/reactor. Extended high gain observers are adopted for identifying sensor faults and guaranteeing accurate dynamics since they can simultaneously estimate both states and uncertain parameters. Uncertain parameters involve overall heat transfer coefficient in this paper. ...

Three levels of lysine (90, 100 and 110% of Ross requirement) and of pyridoxine (3, 6 and 9 mg kg-1) were used in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment to investigate the growth and blood antioxidant ability of broilers under high ambient temperature. None of the dietary supplements affected the weight gain during the starter and grower periods. Although no significant differences were detect...

this study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of organic (sel-plex® selenium yeast) and inorganic (sodium selenite) selenium and vitamin e (d1-α-tocopheryl acetate) on performance and carcass characteristics in broiler chickens. the effect of two types of house temperature and six treatments of feed additives were investigated in a 2×6 factorial experiment at 56 days period with 960 commer...
