i. Thermo-physiological comfort: achieving a comfortable thermal and humid condition in which the thermo-regulating capacity, the thermal insulation and the moisture-regulating capacity of the garment are considered as a function of environmental conditions (climate) and the working conditions (level of effort). Thermo-physiological comfort is strongly affected by the fabric, the style and the ...

A new calculus of nuclear liquid-gas phase transition in the standard thermostatistics is applied to the generalized thermo-statistics. Because the phase equilibrium is de…ned in terms of intensive temperature and conjugate extensive entropy, we have to solve higher-order simultaneous nonlinear equations than those in the standard thermo-statistics. The features of phase transition are essentia...

• A novel radiant-convective cooling system is proposed. The thermal comfort, energy and economic performance are experimentally studied. proposed has better indoor comfort than split air-conditioners. higher efficiency ratio Split air-conditioners have limitations in terms of local comfortability. Radiant systems (RCSs) cannot be used most residential buildings, due to its lack space for a cen...

To save and better deploy waste heat, the use of a mobilized heat storage system (MHSS) with phase change enhancement means is developed. In this paper, three kinds gradient structures (positive gradient, negative non-gradient) are designed in MHSS system. The uniform porosity 94% non-gradient structure, porosities 86%, 93%, 98% respectively. Numerical models developed to explore contribution g...

A cold room assisted vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is dynamically modeled in a year and optimized. Total annual cost (TACO) and coefficient of performance (COP) are selected as two objective functions. Both cold room and refrigeration cycle parameters are considered as design variables. Moreover, three working fluids included R22, R134a and R407c are examined. The optimum Pareto front r...
