Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Windows
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998)Building envelope performance is strongly influenced by solar gain and heat transfer through windows. The majority of this energy gain or loss passes through the center-glass area of the glazing system. Various methods ... -
Executable Model Synthesis and Property Validation for Message Sequence Chart Specifications
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Message sequence charts (MSC’s) are a formal language for the specification of scenarios in concurrent real-time systems. The thesis addresses the synthesis of executable object-oriented design-time models from MSC ... -
In-Situ Ethylene Polymerization with Organoclay-Supported Metallocenes for the Preparation of Polyethylene-Clay Nanocomposites
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)In-situ polymerization is one of the most efficient methods for production of polymer clay nanocomposites. In-situ polymerization of olefins using coordination catalysts is a type of heterogeneous polymerization. In order ... -
A method for determining the effective longwave radiative properties of pleated draperies
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-10-01)Draperies, attached to fenestration, offer a cost-effective strategy in controlling solar gain since draperies have the potential to reduce building peak load and annual energy consumption. The performance of a drapery is ... -
Methods for Calculating the Effective Longwave Radiative Properties of a Venetian Blind Layer
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2004)Window solar gain can strongly influence building energy consumption, peak loads, and comfort. Shading devices are routinely used to control solar gain. The use of venetian blinds is particularly common. There is a strong ... -
Methods for Calculating the Effective Solar-Optical Properties of a Venetian Blind Layer
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2005)Window solar gain can strongly influence building energy consumption, peak loads, and comfort. Shading devices are routinely used to control solar gain. The use of venetian blinds is particularly common. There is a strong ... -
Modeling and Control of the Hybrid Power Flow Controller for Steady-state and Dynamic Studies and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-19)Flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers offer new opportunities to better control power systems, and can address some of the critical challenges faced by the grid, especially in the context of smart grids. ... -
Solar Absorption by Each Element in a Glazing/Shading Layer Array
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2006)Window solar gain can strongly influence building energy consumption and peak cooling load. Shading devices such as venetian blinds, roller blinds, and drapes are routinely used to control solar gain. There is a strong ... -
A survey of mathematics-based equivalent-circuit and electrochemical battery models for hybrid and electric vehicle simulation
(Elsevier, 2014-06)In this paper, we survey two kinds of mathematics-based battery models intended for use in hybrid and electric vehicle simulation. The first is circuit-based, which is founded upon the electrical behaviour of the battery, ... -
Synthesis, Characterization and Modeling of Porous Copolymer Particles
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-11)Hydrogels are polymeric materials that have three-dimensional polymeric networks, which are able to absorb and retain a large amount of water within their structures without being dissolved. Among the synthetic hydrogel, ...
