The main disadvantages of chromium–nickel austenitic SSs, which can limit their application, are the low surface micro-hardness, which leads to low wear resistance; relatively low strength, including fatigue strength; and their propensity to incur inter-crystalline corrosion in the temperature range ...
The geothermal sector has a strength point with respect to other renewable energy sources: the availability of a wide range of both thermal and power applications depending on the source temperature. Several researches have been focused on the possibilit
A microchannel radiator is advantageous due to its high efficiency and large boiling heat transfer coefficient of two-phase flow. Based on the research of uniform lattice structures, this study proposed a microchannel heat exchanger with a nonuniform lattice structure. The calculation, optimal formation...
Industrial development worldwide has generated a growing energy demand, bringing an energy crisis and damage to the environment, having fossil fuels as the principal sources [1]. It is estimated that world energy consumption will continue increasing in the coming decades due to the forecast projected...
The flow chart in Figure 9 explains the process of data logging. The process starts with powering up the data logger. Once the power cycle has been finished, the program will test if all the hardware is healthy and ready to be initialized; if the system is ok, the initializing stage is...
Figure 3. The flow chart of calculation for the heat exchanger (evaporator) model. 3.3. Economic Model Investment costs are one of the main issues concerned when the ORC system is applied to the waste heat recovery from the vehicle exhaust gas. It is necessary to evaluate the cost of the ...
The Surface Urban Heat Islands (SUHI) phenomenon has adverse environmental consequences on human activities, biophysical and ecological systems. In this study, Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellites is used to investigate t
Its unique thermal properties enable it to absorb and retain vast amounts of solar radiation. Consequently, the surface temperature of asphalt can skyrocket under direct sunlight, primarily due to its dark hue and low thermal conductivity [2]. As day transitions to night, this stored heat is ...
An 8-channel ADC; 16 bits; a conversion rate of 10 Hz; Dynamic range setting and calibration; Support for industrial interface RS-485 and addressing, which makes it possible to create a measuring network. The time of a single measuring cycle was set to 30 s. ...
