The model is validated with experimental results available in the open literature. The contemporary solution of both convection and conduction allows highlighting the impact of conduction along the tubes and the supporting end plates and provides satisfactory matching with experimental results: total heating power is forecast within 2.5%, while the maximum temperature deviation between the simulated and experimental heat exchanger curves temperature is 3.8, when the CO2 temperature is as high as 108 °C. This thermal CFD model allows to evaluate the 3D effects of the air maldistribution in terms of temperature, heat transfer coefficients, and cooling power, thus opening the way to the simulation and optimisation of complete finned coil and fan gas cooling systems.

New design procedures of operating theaters can benefit from the results obtained by properly validated Computational Fluid Dynamic models. In fact, CFD models allow to obtain local information inside the room, without carrying out complex experiments, with consequent reduction of the costs required for testing ventilation systems. In this work, a novel procedure for validation of numerical simulations of airflow distribution in actual operating theaters is presented. The authors designed and carried out an experimental campaign in a new operating theater, to measure airflow distribution near the surgical site, and validate a novel numerical model with specific reference to the inlet flow conditions. The results prove that the present approach is essential to reproduce the actual flow conditions

Energy assessment of possible solutions is nowadays performed with different computational tools and comparison between alternative solutions is often difficult. In this paper, a methodology following the European Standards EN 14825 and EN 13215 is proposed for discussion. Sensitivity analysis with respect to climatic categorisation of European and Mediterranean Countries is presented. The accuracy of the Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) estimations in comparison to traditional hourly based calculation is discussed using both absolute and relative energy figures. The reliability and usefulness of the presented method as a tool for a fair and accurate comparison between different systems is presented. Finally, next steps needed for the method full development are identified and possible further steps meeting the technology trend in commercial refrigeration are highlighted.

The project pursues the removal of nontechnological barriers to efficient heating & cooling in the European food retail sector and supports the introduction of a new EU Ecolabel for food retail stores. Non-technological barriers have been mapped and categorized by preliminary interviewing food retail sector stakeholders. While highlighting a general positive attitude towards energy efficiency of the sector stakeholders, the results of the survey reveal the need for specific actions focused on improving the knowledge level of technical staff, from the planning and design stage down to servicing and maintenance. Raising awareness about available technology and financial support is also required. In general terms, barriers are always perceived as stronger when moving North to South, and West to East in Europe, thus emphasizing the need for homogenization of virtuous practices and attitudes throughout Europe.

The main advantage of such a technique is its capability to inspect large surfaces in a short time. A simple formula for corrosion evaluation was proposed in 1996. It is based on the assumption of one-dimensional heat diffusion and was successfully applied to estimate the material loss for large defects. In this paper the case of small sized defects is analysed. When the 3D heat diffusion effects are strong, the formula yields underestimated values. Results of numerical simulations are used to devise a method which makes the estimate of the material loss more accurate.

The different functions (heating, cooling, hot water) are managed water side. The analysis of the R744 chiller/heat pump is based on an original simplified method, which is able to predict the energy performance of the unit based only on its performance data at the nominal rating conditions. The method was validated against experimental data. A comparison with a state-of-the-art R410A unit is presented. The monthly analysis shows that the CO2 unit is very efficient in hot water production, but penalised in heating and cooling service. The adoption of an ejector in place of the expansion valve makes the CO2 system reach the same energy consumption as the R410A unit, despite the presence of the water loop only in the R744 layout .

This procedure includes vignetting correction and gray level conversion into temperature. A noise analysis is also presented in the context of pulsed infrared thermography applied to NDT. In this analysis, the authors introduce a new parameter, the noise equivalent material loss (NEML). The NEML is a global figure of merit which allows the comparison of different experimental set-ups for infrared pulsed thermography. Theory, experimental validation of the proposed concepts, and comparison with a few infrared scanning thermal imagers are presented as well.

Research paper thumbnail of <title>Novel front-surface thermal-diffusivity measurement method based on phase analysis</title>

A... more ABSTRACT The technique described in this paper is for one-side thermal diffusivity measurement. A single stripe-shaped pulse provided by a flash lamp is used to heat the front surface of a specimen slab. Classical methods for estimating a parameter out of a distribution involve fitting the temperature distribution with its theoretical model. With the technique described in this paper the evolution of the temperature distribution along a line perpendicular to the heated stripe is analyzed in the frequency domain. An estimate of the thermal diffusivity is then obtained from comparison of the phase component behavior with an abacus similarly built from the theoretical model. This technique is valid for any shape of flash lamp pulse (i.e. laser spot), and can be used also for estimating the thermal diffusivity of anisotropic materials. The choice of the stripe shape is due to the limitations of the simulation environment used.

It employs application of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to thermal images obtained following flash heating of the front surface of a specimen. The computed phasegrams are excellent for defect visualization in a wide range of materials. This is in part due to their low sensitivity to uneven heating. This work is an attempt to analyze advantages and limitations of PPT. Results of application of the DFT to simulated temperature decays are presented. The temperature evolution on a surface has been simulated based on an analytical solution of the one-dimensional heat diffusion problem. A more sophisticated study has been done for different sizes of defects using numerical solution of the three-dimensional mathematical model. Capabilities of PPT for in-depth scanning and for monitoring of the material loss are discussed. The recommendations for the practical application of the PPT are presented. Experimental results obtained following these recommendations are reported.

If used in electronic device testing, this method enables the localization of very weak local heat sources below the surface. This contribution reviews the basics and application of LIT for local efficiency analysis of solar cells and for failure analysis in other electronic components like bare and encapsulated integrated circuits. In both application fields LIT has established as a reliable and easy-to-use standard method for failure analysis.
