The cooling performance of a building integrated evaporative cooling system driven by solar energy
TL;DR: In this paper, a dew-point evaporative cooler was integrated with the ceiling of a building, and the air flow induced by the solar chimney was predicted by simulation and the cooling effect of the dew point evaporative cooling was also analyzed by heat and mass transfer simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural convection in a cross-fin heat sink
TL;DR: In this article, a novel cross-fin heat sink consisting of a series of long fins and perpendicularly arranged short fins was proposed to enhance natural convective heat transfer, which is based on overcoming internal thermal fluid-flow defects in a conventional plate-fin Heat Sink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground source heat pumps as high efficient solutions for building space conditioning and for integration in smart grids
Anabela Carvalho,Anabela Carvalho,Pedro Moura,Gilberto C. Vaz,Gilberto C. Vaz,Anibal T. de Almeida +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that ground source heat pumps are a very high efficiency technology for buildings space conditioning, and present a high potential for electric load management as a flexible load, when combined with the thermal storage capacity of the building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced design of periodical architectures in bulk metals by means of Laser Interference Metallurgy
TL;DR: In this paper, commercial stainless steel, copper and aluminum substrates were irradiated using single pulses of a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser with two and three laser-beam configurations operating at 355nm of wavelength.

Experimental review of the homogeneous temperature assumption in post-flashover compartment fires
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the accuracy and range of validity of this assumption using the previously conducted fire tests of Cardington (1999) and Dalmarnock (2006) and showed that the homogeneous temperature assumption does not hold well in post-flashover compartment fires.
