To reflect the essence of the heat transfer process, based on the analogy between heat conduction and electrical conduction processes, Guo et al. [16,17] proposed a new physical quantity called "entransy" and the entransy dissipation extremum principle (EDEP). Entransy is a...
The subject of segregation is an important factor for the heat treater, as it can influence the heat treatment result and have an effect on the component properties. Nevertheless, segregations are not significantly changed during soft annealing or hardening, nor can they be characterised on the un...
As a cool season turfgrass, tall fescue is relatively susceptible to high temperature. At 6 and 12 h after 42 °C heat treatments, only 51 and 25% plants were survival, respectively. The growth of tall fescue was severely inhibited even after very short term of heat treatment at 42 °C ...
When considering the assumption of incompressibility, there is a simple analytical solution to the problem, and this solution has been examined using various methods [28]. Most MD simulations documented in the literature focus on flows induced by an accelerating body force rather than flows induced ...
Received: 29 January 2018; Accepted: 1 March 2018; Published: 6 March 2018 Abstract: Evidence exists to suggest that melatonin (MT) is important to abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Here, we investigated whether exogenous MT reduces heat damage on biological parameters and gene expression in ...
The type of thermal storage system depends on the operation modes and thermal storage materials. The operation modes are categorized into full thermal storage and partial thermal storage. In the former, all the heat required in daytime is stored at night, as opposed to about 40–50% in the ...
Effect of Flow Rate The first parameter that affects the performance of a membrane-based heat exchanger is the flow rate of the air streams on both sides of the membrane. This parameter was studied by varying the air flow rate on both sides between 1 and 5 L·min−1 when the flow ...
It is worth noting that when the annealing temperature reached 300 ◦C, coercivity (Hc) increased, and the real and imaginary parts of the permeability decreased, which means that the silicon dioxide layer began to lose its effectiveness. On the contrary, the significant decrease in microwave ...

Reusing this heat makes buildings more energy-efficient and this source is considered as a third-generation renewable energy technology, both factors conforming to energy policies throughout the world. Based on several theoretical and experimental studies, the potential to harness non-industrial waste ...
