Determining Off-Normal Solar Optical Properties of Insect Screens
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2009)
Shading attachments may have a strong influence on solar gain. The determination of off-normal solar optical properties of individual layers of glazing/shading systems is required in order to estimate this solar gain, which ...
Computer Simulation of Window Condensation Potential
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998-12)
Condensation on windows creates obscured view, can cause building damage, and may lead to mold growth and poor indoor air quality. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed new procedures to evaluate window ...
Heat Transfer Analysis Of Windows With Venetian Blinds: A Comparative Study
(2007-06)
The potential to reduce building load and annual energy consumption is widely recognized in the use of shading devices to control solar gain. Consequently, the ability to include and model shading layers in complex glazing ...
A Detailed Model to Determine the Effective Solar Optical Properties of Draperies
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2009)
Drapes have the potential to reduce peak cooling load and annual energy consumption because they can be used to control solar gain. Thus, the need to model a drapes in a glazing system analysis is important. A detailed ...
Heat Transfer Analysis of a Between-Panes Venetian Blind Using Effective Longwave Radiative Properties
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2004)
Center-glass thermal analysis programs based on one-dimensional models have proved to be exceptionally useful. Recently efforts have been made to extend the analysis to include venetian blinds. It is convenient to model ...
Overview of a Project to Determine the Surface Temperatures of Insulated Glazing Units: Thermographic Measurement and Two-Dimensional Simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)
A collaborative research project was undertaken to generate surface temperature profiles for the indoor side of seven different double and triple-glazed insulated glazing units exposed to the ASHRAE winter design condition. ...
A Study Of Pane Spacing In Glazing Systems
(Solar Energy Society of Canada, 1989-06)
The selection of optimum pane spacing for glazing systems has been a topic of ongoing debate in the window manufacturing industry. Arguments are often based on speculation, intuition and results from tests not specifically ...
Glassy States in Asymmetric Mixtures of Soft and Hard Colloids
(APS Physics, 2013-11-14)
By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ...
Calculating Window Solar Heat Gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-07)
Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases. The large number of design options necessitates the use of computer simulation for development ...
Design and simulation of a lithium-ion battery at large C-rates and varying boundary conditions through heat flux distributions
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
In this paper, the heat flux distributions on a prismatic lithium-ion battery at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C discharge rates under various operating temperatures and boundary conditions (BCs) of 22 °C for air cooling and 5 °C, 15 ...
