Abstract: A new technique for the measurement of temperature and concentration for a simultaneous heat and mass transfer analysis is described. The technique employs a one wavelength Mach-Zehnder interferometer ...

Abstract: The heat transfer associated with various radiation shield designs has been investigated. Mathematical models were used to characterize the thermal performance of a vertical heated plate, with ...

Abstract: Thermal performance characteristics of the “Solaris” water-trickle collector have been experimentally determined using the University of Virginia Solar Energy Research Facility. A theoretical model ...
