Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace Quality of Two Indonesian Mosques: Architectural Style, Development Process and Environmental ConditionMohhamad Kusyanto, Imam Adlin Sinaga, Sugeng Triyadi et al.Mosque buildings in Indonesia show the influence of architectural styles from the Middle East and other parts of the world. Today, information technology and the development of architectural schools play important roles in mosque styles in Indonesia. This study compared two Indonesian mosques (the Cabean and Eco Pesantren mosques in Central and West Java, respectively) in different architectural styles and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2019 · 9,094 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Combined Natural Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer Using a Similarity SolutionMehdi Zeyghami, Muhammad M. RahmanA similarity solution for laminar boundary layer in a buoyancy induced flow over an isothermal, vertical wall in the presence of radiation is developed. Radiation heat transfer is taken into account by application of the Rosseland approximation in the energy conservation equation. The family of similarity solutions to the governing equations is presented. The computed results show that thermal and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 16 Oct 2015 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDURABILITY OF MIXED MORTAR LINING CONTAINING DREGS-GRITSB. P. Zanella, E. B. Sá, N. O. Acorinti et al.The improper disposal of industrial waste and exploitation of natural resources has resulted in the scarcity of river sand and environmental degradation, such as river erosions and pollution. This study aimed to assess the durability of mixed mortar lining walls and ceilings, containing 0 (default), 10 and 20% of dregs-grits compounds-waste of the pulp industry-in substitution with river sand. This … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Nuclear Blast Overpressure on Buildings and other infrastructures using Geospatial TechnologyC. Vijayaraghavan, D. Thirumalaivasan, R. VenkatesanAn Improvised Nuclear Device or nuclear bomb of yield 10 kiloton to 20 kiloton explodes in any major city due to terrorism or any other reason can cause catastrophic damages on the building's and other infrastructures and also shutting down of critical life-safety systems.. The explosion may produce blast overpressure, thermal radiation and harmful instant and delayed nuclear radiations. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2012 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Experimental Investigation of PCM Capsules Integrated in Solar Air HeaterMahmud M. Alkilani, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif MatProblem statement: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) process can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and energy demand. Organic latent heat materials are suitable to use as storage medium, however, the low thermal conductivity of these materials slow the thermal response during charging and discharging processes. Approach: A solar air heater integrated with (PCM) has been designed, fabricated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical and Experimental Studies on the Thermal Efficiency of the Double-Pass Solar Air Collector with Finned AbsorberAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: The design of suitable air collectors is one of the most important factors controlling the economics of the solar drying. Air type collectors have two inherent disadvantages: Low thermal capacity of air and low absorber to air heat transfer coefficient. Different modifications are suggested and applied to improve the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
