This paper presents the LT-Portugal software, which is an energy design tool that can quickly assess the energy use (lighting, cooling, ventilation and heating) and thermal comfort implications of design options – both in existing projects and also to inform design decisions.
The surface properties of building façades have implications for thermal performance of buildings and might also influence outdoor thermal comfort conditions for pedestrians.
Food processing, especially thermal treatment, may have implications on mycotoxins in products available for consumers.
These results have important implications for thermal insulation of hypersonic engine surfaces, controlling mixing at high Mach number and influencing shock structure in shock-wave boundary layer interactions.
Considering the important role of electrical rectifiers (diodes) in electronics, thermal rectifiers have substantial implications for diverse thermal management problems, ranging from nanoscale calorimeters to microelectronic processors to macroscopic refrigerators and energy-saving buildings.
Issues regarding the thermal expansion modeling, and implications of the present findings to damage initiation in plastic encapsulation materials are discussed.
The proposed design strategy should translate well to other material systems and has important implications for thermal management of nanostructured permanent magnets.
This phenomenon, spatial thermal filtering, has clear implications for thermal management: depending on the size of dissipators, either design-time strategies, such as dividing and distributing functionality spatially, or runtime strategies, such as isolating functionality temporally (duty cycling), may be the most effective way to control peak temperature.
Together, these insights into the thermal variability have broad implications for conservation and management of alpine river systems because water temperature is a key variable influencing aquatic ecosystems, and because anthropogenic pressures on alpine environments are expected to grow in the future.
Nevertheless, high-intensity rf-emf can cause thermal effects with serious implications for human health (Conway 2001).
