In recent years, extensive attention has been paid on the application of solar cooling for buildings. Amongst cooling technologies, low-temperature solar-driven adsorption cooling systems are emerging viable alternatives to electricity-driven vapour compression systems. They seem to have ...

In Mexico there is a decline in the production of oil deposits due to the lack of effective treatment of oil emulsions, which generate a problem in the reinjection of emulsified water, transport of oil with high water content and corrosion in the oil refineries. Through the simulation ... Read More
This paper presents the use of COMSOL's Conjugate Heat Transfer capabilities to model the coupled conduction, convection and surface-to-surface radiation heat transfer in a combustion chamber, firetube heat exchanger device. The paper details the geometry, mesh, governing equations and ... Read More
A new nonvolatile memory device based on its resistance state has emerged known as resistive random access memory (RRAM). It operates by switching between the high resistance and low resistance states which can be interpreted as logical 0 and 1 variables. Understanding the resistive ... Read More
The process of cold drawing a fiber over rollers is analyzed in this work to predict the temperature rise due to the heat generated during plastic deformation of the fiber. Experimental measurements on prototypes indicated an unacceptable temperature rise of greater than 100 F requiring ... Read More
Concrete hydration is a highly exothermic process which, in large concrete structures, produces highly elevated temperatures. While this phenomenon has long been understood to be a negative side effect which can cause thermal stress cracking in concrete structures, a relatively new and ... Read More
Composite systems are becoming more and more widespread across industries and the capability to finding and tracking internal defects before they have grown to major deterioration is of paramount importance in regard to safety, economy and maintenance. We are exploring a novel method of ... Read More
Increasing demand for new technology, products and processes to provide improved performance, achieve proof of concept quicker, offer higher quality and meet demands for on-time and on-budget delivery have put increasing pressure on scientist and engineers to predict performance before ...

Necrosis of human tissue can typically be obtained by exposure to temperatures below 40°C or above +50°C. However, inherent variability in tissue properties, the complexity of tissue response and dissipation of thermal energy by local perfusion or blood flow can make the development of ... Read More
Most technical systems become smart over time, therefore those systems will have improved safety and comfort functions. An example is a new development by Westfalia-Automotive. A new generation of smart tow bars, equipped with a sensor system, including distance sensors, is able to ... Read More
