This research demonstrates the feasibility of a roof insulation method for prefabricated offices that uses vinyl packed timber chips to reduce air conditioning loads (hereinafter referred to as AC loads) and which also improves indoor thermal comfort. The advantages of the new roof insulation method were revealed through comparing the impacts of four roof types on prefabricated offices. The AC ...

The component piston in an internal combustion engine plays an important role in transforming the thermal energy developed during the combustion in to mechanical energy. During this process, the piston is subject to heat, and pressures developed in the combustion as well as variations in pressures during various strokes of the engine. Hence, there is a need to study the behavior of the piston t...

This paper presents low cycle fatigue (LCF) life prediction of a coated and uncoated exhaust manifolds. First Solidworks software was used to model the exhaust manifolds. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the tubes c of the exhaust manifolds, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat ...

This paper presents the energy and exergy analysis of thermal power plant Tuzla in Tuzla, Bosnia Herzegovina. The main aim this is to analyze components a 200 MW steam unit order identify quantify sites with highest losses calculate efficiency values all when operating at nominal load. influence change ambient temperature block load on value was taken into analysis. further includes impact oper...
