General Regression Neural Network for Technical Use
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1995)The world energy consumption increases every year. With more countries becoming industrialized nations it is to be expected that the increase in energy consumption will become faster in future. This increase results ... -
Heat Transfer and Film Thickness Characteristics of Spray Cooling with Phase Change
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)Two test facilities were used to study the characteristics and method of spray cooling. Spray cooling is a process that delivers liquid droplets from an atomizer to a surface that is hotter than the saturation temperature ... -
High Performance in Low Flow Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1997)Low-flow solar hot water heating systems employ flow rates on the order of 1/5 to 1/10 of the conventional flow. Low-flow systems are of interest because the reduced flow rate allows smaller diameter tubing, which is ... -
High-Temperature Refrigerated Warehouse Operation under Real-Time Pricing of Electricity
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2003)Refrigerated warehouses play an important link in the storage of food products throughout the year under conditions specially suited to prevent their decay. In doing so, refrigerated warehouses serve as an indispensable ... -
Impact of distributed system
(1992) -
Impact on a Utility of an Ensemble of Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1994)The benefits to a utility and to the environment of the installation of a large number of solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems are identified and quantified. The environmental benefits of SDHW systems include reduced ... -
Improvement and Validation of a Model for Photovoltaic Array Performance
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)The use of photovoltaic cells has increased in the last few decades as their manufacturing cost has decreased and as people have become more concerned about energy use. Designers need a reliable tool to predict energy ... -
Indoor Air Quality Modeling
(1990) -
Investigation of Alternative Defrost Strategies
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004) -
IR Enchange Between a Solar Collector with Plastic Glazing and the Sky
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000)Two types of the absorption chillers, the single and half effect cycles, can operate using low temperature hot water. The advantage of the single effect over the half effect cycle is the higher COP but the single ... -
Life Cycle Performance Evaluation of an Air-Based Solar Thermal System
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000)Performance at the McKay center after 22 years of operation was characterized through experimental measurements of component parameters. Effects of the component parameters on systems level performance was evaluated ... -
Local Heating During Electron Beam Patterning of Lithography Masks
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1998)The semiconductor industry is constantly seeking to improve the performance of integrated circuits by drastically increasing the density and reducing the pattern feature size. Accurate patterning of advanced lithography ... -
Local Liquid Velocity Measurements in Horizontal, Annular Two-Phase Flow
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)Two-phase annular flow is commonly used in both commercial and industrial heat transfer; however, we do not yet possess a thorough understanding of the nature of the fluid. Most analytical annular two-phase models are ...
