11. Effect of Diamond Nanolubricant on R134a Pool Boiling Heat Transfer
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 5/21/2012
Author: Mark A Kedzierski
Abstract: This paper quantifies the influence of diamond nanoparticles on the boiling performance of R134a/polyolester mixtures on a roughened, horizontal, flat surface. Nanofluids are liquids that contain dispersed nano-size particles. A lubricant based nan ...

12. EFFECT OF AL2O3 NANOLUBRICANT ON A TURBO-BII R134A POOL BOILING SURFACE
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 3/3/2012
Author: Mark A Kedzierski
Abstract: This paper quantifies the influence of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the pool boiling performance of R134a/polyolester mixtures on a Turbo-BII-HP boiling surface. An Al2O3 nanolubricant (a lubricant containing dispersed nano-size particles) was made by sus ...

16. Ventilation Measurements in IAQ Studies: Problems and Opportunities
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 8/30/2011
Authors: Andrew Keith Persily, Hal Levin
Abstract: Building and space ventilation rates are primary determinants of indoor pollutant levels and occupant exposures, and the impacts of ventilation on health and comfort have long been recognized in ventilation standards and regulations. Despite the im ...

17. Alternative Cooling Technology Options
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 8/21/2011
Authors: J S Brown, Piotr A Domanski
Abstract: This paper considers the alternative cooling technologies studied by Fisher et al. (1994) and assesses their current potential to compete with or to replace vapor compression refrigeration technology for space cooling and near-room temperature refrig ...

18. IMPACT OF CLASSICAL ASSUMPTIONS IN MODELLING A MICROCHANNEL GAS COOLER
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 7/5/2011
Authors: Santiago Martinez-Ballester, Jose M. Corberan, Jose Gonzalvez-Macia, Piotr A Domanski
Abstract: Most of the current air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger models use the classic ε-NTU approach. These models do not account for 2D longitudinal heat conduction in the tube and the longitudinal heat conduction in the fin. These models, also do not ...

19. A Computational and Experimental Investigation of Thermal Desorption and Vapor Sampling in an Explosive Trace Detector
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 6/30/2011
Authors: Matthew E Staymates, Wayne Smith, Eric S Windsor
Abstract: Swipe-based explosive trace detectors rely on thermal desorption to vaporize explosive particles collected on a swipe. The vaporized material is carried by air flows from the desorption unit to the inlet of the chemical analyzer, typically an ion mo ...

20. Characterization of Approach Air Distribution for a Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger
Topic: High Performance Buildings
Published: 2/18/2011
Authors: David A Yashar, Piotr A Domanski, Hong H. Cho
Abstract: The distribution of air flow approaching a finned-tube heat exchanger is one of the predominant factors influencing the heat exchanger’s performance. This paper describes a method for measuring and predicting the inlet air flow distribution using Par ...
