Large quantities of low grade waste heat are discharged into the environment, mostly via water evaporation, during industrial processes. Putting this industrial waste heat to productive use can reduce fossil fuel usage as well as CO2 emissions and water dissipation. The purpose of this paper is...

A temperature and humidity independent control (THIC) system is a way to regulate indoor temperature and humidity separately through different approaches. Because of this distinction, THIC air-conditioning systems can satisfy the adjustment requirements of indoor temperature and humidity better...

The main task of HVAC systems in the cooling condition is to remove heat from indoor environment to outdoor environment. HVAC systems are complex networks of various processes, e.g., heat transfer, heat–work conversion, heat–humidity conversion, etc. These processes correspond to equipment...

Accurate daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) forecasting is necessary for real-time irrigation forecasting. We proposed a method for short-term forecasting of ET0 using the locally calibrated Hargreaves–Samani model and temperature forecasts. Daily meteorological data from four stations...

Connected through single crystalline junctions, low dimensional materials such as nanowires and nanorods form complex nanostructures. These new materials exhibit mechanical strengths and electrical conductivities superior to their constituents while maintaining comparable surface areas, an...
