In recent years, storage of thermal energy has become a very important topic in many engineering applications and has been the subject of a great deal of research activity.
In recent years the use of thermal energy storage with phase change materials has become a topic with a lot of interest within the research community, but also within architects and engineers.
Over the past 30 years, the field of thermal analysis of organic peroxides has become an important issue in chemical engineering departments, safety departments, and in companies working with polymerization, petrifaction process, and so on.
In the last years, the resolution of thermal imaging systems has increased and its weight decreased, fostering their implementation on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for civil and agricultural engineering purposes.
As more efficient and reliable torches for thermal plasma generation have become available in recent years, the use of thermal plasma as an energy source for pyrolysis/gasification has attracted much interest, and special attention has been paid to waste treatment for resource and energy recovery.
As part of an integrated energy design the paper will present a concept to carry out a whole year performance evaluation of thermal comfort on an hourly basis, inspired by ISO EN 7730 (thermal environment) and EN 15251 (thermal, indoor air quality, light).
Over the past fifty years, a diverse set of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing data has been acquired from the orbits of Earth and Mars, which both have ubiquitous volcanic landforms.
The COP (Coefficient of Performance) of the ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system decreased gradually year after year mainly caused by imbalance of thermal energy inputting, especially in heating-dominated climate zones.
Since the wind power converter is to maintain "a long life" of 20 years, the thermal performance and the reliability of products are of the utmost importance.
During recent years, due to the development of thermal energy storage (TES) market, they have also received much attention gradually as the excellent TES materials because of the high energy density, low cost, and good reversibility.
