Abstract: The development of a mathematical model of the soldering process of actual pastes as used in surface mount technology (SMT) lines is described in this paper. The coupled heat transfer processes ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the technical feasibility of innovative solar collectors. The proposed collectors have a phase change material (PCM) integrated into them as the storage mechanism. The ...

Abstract: An analysis of 1970–2005 observed summer daily maximum and minimum temperatures in two California air basins showed concurrent daytime coastal cooling and inland warming. To study the impacts ...

Abstract: The addition of latent heat storage systems in solar thermal applications has several benefits including volume reduction in storage tanks and maintaining the temperature range of the thermal ...

Abstract: Assessment of renewable energy resources such as surface solar radiation and wind current has great relevance in the development of local and regional energy policies. This paper examines the ...

Abstract: Background: This paper presents a reduced mathematical model using a practical numerical formulation of the thermal behavior of an integrated power electronics module (IPEM). This model is based ...
