Development of a simple light pipe from a Fresnel lens [PDF]
This research developed a simple light pipe from using a Fresnel lens as a light source to supply natural light to a light pipe made of a zinc sheet. The objectives of the study were to (1) find the best focal length or focal distance of the Fresnel lens

Effect Of EPS Protection On The Buried Pipe Under Stratum Settlement
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is a light and deformable geosynthetic that can reduce the pressure on the pipe by surrounding soil. The protective effect of geofoam bocks protection on the buried pipe under stratum settlement was investigated.

A multi-zone model for simulating the high energy variability of TeV blazars [PDF]
We present a time-dependent multi-zone code for simulating the variability of Synchrotron-Self Compton (SSC) sources. The code adopts a multi-zone pipe geometry for the emission region, appropriate for simulating emission from a standing or propagating ...

CLIMA 2019-Modelling study on pipe-encapsulated PCM wall system for building insulation and active heat removal [PDF]
Phase change material (PCM) can be used in building envelope for heat insulation and energy-saving. However, the energy-saving effect of the PCM wall system is limited in summer since the PCM storing heat in the daytime will become a secondary heat ...

Light Pipe Comparative Measurement [PDF]
The illuminance measurement method for a comparative evaluation of two light pipes is described in the paper. Two commercially available light pipes of similar dimensions were evaluated for light transmittance. Measurement and data processing methodology was completed for the comparison of the light pipe efficiency.
