Thermal conductivity measurements of four thermal insulation reference materials are presented. The measurements were obtained from an international collaborative test program of guarded-hot-plate laboratories from Canada, France, Japan, United Kingdom
Spherically-symmetric droplet combustion experiments were performed in an effort to better understand the mechanism leading to sootshell formation. The experiments were performed at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) 2.2 s droptower in Cleveland, OH
X-ray absorption techniques have become more common and more accepted in the study of moisture contents and transport in building materials like cement pastes, mortars, and wood. To be able to properly interpret the data gathered by the machine, it is

This paper reports progress in the development of a practical probabilistic model for the estimation of expected annual damage induced by hurricane winds in residential structures. The estimation of the damage is accomplished in several steps. First, basic
A distribution of particle sizes or particle size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental characteristic of cement powder. Accurate PSDs are required in computational efforts to model the hydration process and it is an important practical issue for the cement
Since its initial recognition in 1928 and commercialization in 1936, R-22 has been applied in systems ranging from the smallest window air conditioners to the largest chillers and heat pumps, including those for district cooling and heating. Individual
