Abstract: A building energy simulation study is carried out to analyze the performance of a triple-hybrid single-effect vapor absorption cooling system (VACS) operated by solar, natural gas, and auxiliary electricity-based cogeneration. ...

Abstract: In air-conditioning, strategy of decoupling cooling and ventilation tasks has stimulated considerable interest in radiant cooling systems with dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS). In view of this, current paper presents a ...

Abstract: The analysis of thermoelastic wave propagation in continuum solids at micro/nanoseconds is especially significant for ultrafast heating technologies, where strain relaxation effects will increase significantly. In most ...

Abstract: In the present work, an atomistic scale investigation is done on crystalline silicon to understand the effect of crack depth from the loading (pulling) boundary on the critical near-tip state of stress. For various depths ...

Abstract: The analysis of thermoelastic wave propagation in continuum solids at micro/nano-seconds is especially significant for ultra-fast heating technologies, where strain relaxation effects will increase significantly. In most ...

Abstract: This work proposes a novel strategy to render mixed boundary conditions on circular linear elastic homogeneous domain to displacement-based condition all along the surface. With Michell solution as the starting point, the ...

Abstract: Modular active cell robots (MACROs) are a design paradigm for modular robotic hardware that uses only two components, namely actuators and passive compliant joints. Under the MACRO approach, a large number of actuators and ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new small-scale lithium bromide (LiBr)-water absorption system consisting water-cooled absorber and air-cooled condenser is experimentally studied. For compactness, the heat exchangers for evaporator, ...

Abstract: Air conditioning in composite weather is relatively more challenging and also carries importance as it resembles conditions of hot-dry, cold, and warm-humid climates. Bifurcation of cooling and ventilation tasks happens ...

Abstract: Modular active cell robots (MACROs) is a design approach in which a large number of linear actuators and passive compliant joints are assembled to create an active structure with a repeating unit cell. Such a mesh-like ...
