Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Effect of Microchannel Geometry on Nanoparticle Deposition in Nanofluid Flow

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study numerically analyzed nanoparticle deposition in microchannels with varying geometries. Deposition per unit area decreases significantly with increasing bend angle (28.612 to 8.941 between 30° and 120°) and bend radius (11.922 to 4.769 between 0.2 and 0.4 mm). Acute bends and small radii enhance centrifugal forces and flow separation, leading

A Krasznokvajdai mikrotérség lakosságának közlekedési szokásai

Tér és Társadalom, 2009
Hazánk periférikus térségeiben a rendszerváltozást megelőző évtizedekben – ha meglehetősen szerény mértékben is –, de elfogadhatóak voltak az életkörülmények, és nem voltak kirívóan nagy területi különbségek.

A proposal for individualized administration of energy and protein in the critically ill with obesity

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing prevalence of obesity has transformed intensive care and nutritional therapy of patients with obesity from a specialized problem to standard care. The dilemma in providing nutrition to critically ill patients with obesity is that current and historical nutritional guideline recommendations are based on expert opinion, are ...
