Abstract: A conduction model is developed to describe the phase change between the plates of a thermal storage system. The diffusion equation and the associated boundary, initial, and interface conditions are approximated numerically ...

Abstract: This investigation is focused on assessing the thermal performance of a ventilated double-glass reversible window with reflective film for building applications. The window is composed of two glass sheets separated by a ...

Abstract: The present study is focused on investigating experimentally and numerically the four versions of a concentric double tube solar collector with and without vacuum, and with and without a reflective solar film. The conservation ...

Abstract: The high cost and poor performance of small wind turbines make them not widely used. In an attempt to meliorate this situation, the authors propose to investigate alternative airfoils with different chord and pitch angle ...
