Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThermodynamic Modeling and Heat-Moisture Transfer Characteristic Analysis of in Situ Thermal Desorption System for Polluted SoilHuijuan Xu, Yanjun Bi, Lijun Gao, Dongxiao MaIn Situ Gas Thermal Desorption (ISGTD) is one of the effective approaches for organic contaminated soil. To investigate the heat-moisture transfer characteristics of soil during the heating process, a radially layered coupled heat-moisture model of the ISGTD system is established. The temperature and moisture distribution along the radial direction of the heat source, as well as the synergistic action of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2024 · 4,035 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDouble Diffusive Convection Heat and Moisture Transfer Inside a Planted Roof Building Under Hot-Humid Climate: Case of Lomé City in West AfricaHodo-Abalo Samah, Magolmèèna Banna, Belkacem ZeghmatiPlanted roofs have been investigated as a passive cooling technology for energy efficiency purposes in buildings. More quantitative data on this topic are required to solve a lack of information for many specific regions. This study is focused on a numerical investigation of the thermal comfort inside a green roof rectangular ventilated cavity in a hot and humid climate like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2022 · 6,993 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Clothing Insulation for Thermal Comfort: A Numerical Study using Bio-Heat Transfer ModelKabita Luitel, Dil Bahadur Gurung, Harihar Khanal, Kedar Nath UpretyClothing plays a major role in protecting the human body from cold and hot environment by working as an insulator. The physical factors such as conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation and the physiological factors such as blood flow and metabolism within the body together with clothing system help to maintain human thermal comfort and the human thermoregulatory system. On the other … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2020 · 8,032 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Thermo-Physical Properties of Soil Using Solarisation TechnologyAhmed Abed Gatea Al-Shammary, Abbas Kouzani, Akif Kaynak et al.Soil Thermo-Physical Properties (TPP) depend on heat transfer in the soil. This paper presents a study on different soil solarisation technologies influenced by soil TPP. This study evaluates three factors: The tillage depth for soil at three levels (15, 25 and 45 cm), the number of plastic film at three levels (single, double and without plastic film) and three cases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2017 · 7,957 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnchovy Drying Using Infrared RadiationWatcharin Dongbang, Anirut MatthujakThe present study investigated the drying of anchovy using infrared radiation experimentally; in addition, the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient in terms of Nusselt’s number was also investigated. The anchovy was dried from 78±1%wb down to 20±1%wb. The drying conditions were infrared power range 400-800 W, hot air temperatures range 50-70°C and hot air velocity range 0.5-1.5 ms-1. The lowest drying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 14 Apr 2013 · 6,815 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Temperature Convective Drying of a Packed Bed with Humid Air at Different HumiditiesJ. Sghaier, S. Messai, D. Lecomte, A. BelghithProblem statement: Drying a packed bed of porous particle at high temperature with varying humidity of hot air is an attractive process. Many researches on experimental and simulation on a fixed bed drying at low and average temperature are proposed. Few studies showed drying at high temperature with humid air or using superheated steam. The latest is compared to dry … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,023 accessesView PDF Cite
