Moisture Accumulation and Its Impact on the Thermal Performance of Pipe Insulation for Chilled Water Pipes in High Performance Buildings [PDF]

, 2012
Mechanical pipe insulation systems are commonly applied to cold piping surfaces in most industrial and commercial buildings in order to limit the heat losses and prevent water vapor condensation on the pipe exterior surfaces.

Anticorrosive Performance of Smart Epoxy Coatings With Poly(urea‐formaldehyde) Microcapsules Filled With 5‐Ethylidene‐2‐norbornene

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
PUF/ENB microcapsules were synthesized based on a sequential factorial design and incorporated into an epoxy matrix. Their anticorrosive action, associated with the self‐healing mechanism, demonstrated that the addition of microcapsules to the coating improved anticorrosive performance compared to pure epoxy coatings, particularly when the encapsulate ...

Evaluation of European Land Data Assimilation System (ELDAS) products using in site observations [PDF]

, 2008
Three land-surface models with land-data assimilation scheme (DA) were evaluated for one growing season using in situ observations obtained across Europe. To avoid drifts in the land-surface state in the models, soil moisture corrections are derived from

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effect of moisture content, temperature, and absolute expansion ratio on the effective moisture diffusivity of swell-dried carrots and apples

Discover Food
Abstract In this study, the swell-drying process of apples and carrots, which involves combining the Instant Controlled Pressure Drop (DIC) operation with airflow drying, was carried out at an airflow velocity of 5 m·s⁻¹ and at temperatures of 40, 50, and 60 °C. Under these conditions, the effective moisture diffusivity of the product

A toy model of tropical convection with a moisture storage closure

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017
A time‐dependent, zero‐dimensional toy model is constructed to study the large‐scale variability in association with tropical moist convection. Case studies from sounding‐array observations are analyzed as a benchmark to test the model performance.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...
