Abstract: The effective temperature, a linear combination of a building’s enclosure temperature, mean radiant temperature, and the ambient temperature, is a measure of the thermal comfort inside a building. ...

Abstract: A solar pond can be used as a thermal energy source provided that convective instabilities do not occur. This paper experimentally examines the stability of a fluid layer with nonlinear salinity ...

Abstract: Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film photovoltaic devices fabricated in a-line process developed at Colorado State University (CSU) have shown stability during long-term (over a 5 year period) ...
