Residential Building Energy Conservation in Mediterranean Climate Zone by Integrating Passive Solar and Energy Efficiency Design Strategies

Buildings, 2023
Residential buildings have a list of functions, and one of the top priories is the thermal comfort of its occupants. Thermal comfort can be one of the measurements of successful building performance, and it can be addressed in various ways to provide a ...

Coupling of thermal and mass diffusion in regular binary thermal lattice-gases [PDF]

, 2001
We have constructed a regular binary thermal lattice-gas in which the thermal diffusion and mass diffusion are coupled and form two nonpropagating diffusive modes.

Investigating the Influence of Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Storage of Lightweight Concrete Panels on the Energy and Thermal Comfort in Residential Buildings

Buildings, 2023
Phase change materials (PCM) are integrated into lightweight concrete (LWC) panels to increase their thermal mass. However, the integration of PCM into LWC also increases the thermal conductivity of the panels, which may have a negative impact.

Impact of Material Solutions and a Passive Sports Hall’s Use on Thermal Comfort

Energies, 2023
High outdoor temperatures and thermal gains due to solar radiation, which penetrates the interior of buildings as the climate warms up, pose a major challenge to maintaining thermal comfort in passive sports facilities.

Radio emission from the massive stars in the Galactic Super Star Cluster Westerlund 1 [PDF]

, 2009
Current mass-loss rate estimates imply that main sequence winds are not sufficient to strip away the H-rich envelope to yield Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. The rich transitional population of Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) provides an ideal laboratory to observe mass-loss

Particle production in time-dependent gravitational fields: the expanding mass shell [PDF]

, 2002
We compute the production of particles from the gravitational field of an expanding mass shell. Contrary to the situation of Hawking radiation and the production of cosmological perturbations during cosmological inflation, the example of an expanding ...

Oscillatory secular modes: The thermal micropulses [PDF]

, 2007
Stars in the narrow mass range of about 2.5 and 3.5 solar masses can develop a thermally unstable He-burning shell during its ignition phase. We study, from the point of view secular stability theory, these so called thermal micropulses and we ...
