For thinner MWCNTs, the curvature determines the limiting value of the conductance and leads to an interesting non-monotonic character, while the number of walls dominates the contact conductance for large diameter MWCNTs.
Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for phonon energy transfer, we predict that MWCNTs' curvature and their number of walls emerge as two critical factors, with each of them determining the limiting value of the thermal conductance across MWCNT contacts in different diameter regimes.
The chapter introduces a methodology, which enables to determine the limit values of building envelope, overall heat transfer coefficient in accordance with the ratio of A/V and other design parameters affecting thermal comfort.
A series of experiments were conducted in a flume tank modified to accurately determine the limit values of hydraulic gradients at the various stages of the dam failure process.
The proposed methodology enables to determine the limit values of the building envelope heat transfer coefficients on the basis of A/V ratios and other design parameters affecting indoor thermal comfort and energy conservation such as orientation, window type, optical and thermophysical properties of the building envelope.
Consequently, even a drastic reduction of the directly emitted NO2 and the NO2/NOX emission ratio, respectively, for example through improved emission control systems[18] would not reduce NO2 concentrations below the limiting value, since it is determined to a larger extend by secondary NO2 formation.
The limiting value for the ellipticity of the fully folded conformation was determined by the peptide signal at 55% (w/w) MeOH.
The limiting values of the operational parameters are determined.
These values are compared with those obtained by theoretical model equations, and the difference between the current effective ionic conductivity and the physical limiting value is determined.
As efficacy can not be reliably determined in the absence of a control group, a case series observation determining 'efficacy' has limited value.
