Mould growth in buildings affects indoor air quality. To prevent mould growth in building components, there is a need for design tools that take into account both microclimate and mould growth patterns. We propose a novel laboratory method to assess mould growth as a function of RH, temperature and substrate by measuring the thermal power produced by the fungal metabolism as a measure of growth...

In this study, results of the crystallization of iron-rich glasses are summarized. Thermogravimetry (TG)±di€erential thermal analysis (DTA) were utilized to explain the phase formations and the surface oxidation of FeO to yield Fe 2 O 3. The crystal phases fraction was evaluated utilizing X-ray di€raction analysis (XRD). Low angle XRD technique was used to investigate the distribution of the cr...

The scale up of an isothermal micro-trickle bed reactor operated under radio frequency (RF) heating has been performed. The effect of the reactor length, tube diameter and number of parallel tubes on the temperature non-uniformity parameter has been studied. The axial and radial temperature profiles were calculated using a 2D convection and conduction heat transfer problem with heat transfer pr...

The off-equilibrium dynamics of a monatomic Lennard-Jones glass is numerically investigated after sudden isothermal density jumps (crunch) from well equilibrated liquid configurations towards the glassy state. The generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation has been studied and the temperature dependence of the violation factor m is found in agreement with the one step replica symmetry breakin...

In this study, Copper oxide as a good and inexpensive adsorbent has been introduced and used for the removal of erythrosine and red carmoisine dyes from several water solutions successfully. The effect of various parameters such as pH, dye concentration, amount of adsorbent, contact time and temperature on removal processing was investigated. Adsorption isothermal data could be interpreted by t...

We consider non-isothermal torsional flow between two coaxial parallel plates with heat transfer at the upper rotating plate, constant temperature on the lower stationary plate, and no heat loss at the fluid-air interface. Viscous heating is modelled by a Nahme law with exponential dependence on temperature. Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the governing equations an exact solution is not ...
