Waste heat water pumping model with direct contact cooling
Kittiwoot Sutthivirode,Naris Pratinthong,Pichai Namprakai,Natthaphon Roonprasang,Taveewat Suparos +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a 10-liter steam-air-powered water pumping model with direct contact cooling was evaluated, and it was found that the pump with 50% air volume is sufficient for pumping water to a desired level.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
