Effect of lining thermal inertia on small-scale compartment fire
… to examine principally the influence of thermal inertia of the lining material on ventilated enclosure fire The radiation error of the thermocouple reading was studied using radiation network models. Previous theoretical studies were implemented to provide improved models appropriate to …

Binary Star Systems with Asymmetrically Heated Disks: Thermal Phase Curves for the Disk in Epsilon Aurigae
… Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT), and thermal inertia-dependent methods are presented here in order to minimize the current parameter space. The first MCRT models including all of the epsilon Aurigae components (F-star, B-star, and disk) are included here.</p> <p>Additional parameter …

Thermal Evolution of Moon
… other experiments.</p> <p>We propose to use a thermal infrared camera mounted on a telescope to acquire time-series observations of lunar surface temperatures to get a novel insight into the thermal evolution of the Moon over a complete lunar cycle. Half a lunar cycle would account from morning …

Climate-responsive design for non-domestic buildings in warm climates : optimisation of thermal mass for indoor cooling
… investigation focuses on the study of the thermal inertia of buildings examining the extent to which the envelope and internal components can moderate their internal climate. Especial emphasis is given to the analysis of thermal mass effects in conditions of overheating in buildings with …

Thermal and Behavioral Ecology of the Mexican Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum)
… Small organisms have little or no appreciable thermal inertia, and thus, reach thermal equilibrium with their immediate surroundings relatively rapidly. In this investigation, we describe the behavioral and thermal ecology of the Mexican beaded lizard (<em>Heloderma horridum</em>), which …

Empirical and experimental studies of flashover in compartment fire
… between flashover indicators, the effects of thermal inertia of lining materials on temperature history and the development of enclosure fires when changing vent size. A fresh regression analysis was performed to update the MQH method to include modem compartment materials with a wider span of …

Remote Sensing and Terramechanics Study of Mars using Orbital and Rover Data Sets
… sands. Comparison of Mars Odyssey THEMIS-derived thermal inertia values with Mars Express OMEGA-derived spectral parameters shows that although the dust cover can be optically thick: 0.4 to 2.5 μm wavelength region) in some areas, it is not thick enough: ~1 cm) to mask the thermal inertia of …

Enhancing indoor air movement through roof design: a process of increasing thermal comfort in hot humid region housing
… diurnal variations make the reliance on thermal inertia to ameliorate the thermal discomfort in the hot humid region impossible. Natural ventilation, therefore, is not only important, but the velocity of air that gets into the living area is crucial. Various ways of creating negative …

The flow structure under mixed convection in a uniformly heated vertical pipe
… Since GFR cores have high power density and low thermal inertia, relative to the high temperature gas-cooled thermal reactor (HTGR), the decay heat removal (DHR) in depressurization accidents is a major challenge to be overcome. This is due to (1) a gas has inherently inferior heat transport …

Pluto's atmosphere from the May 22, 2011 stellar occultation
… models in which Pluto's surface has a low thermal inertia [Hansen and Paige, 1996; Elliot et al., 2007], but further constraints on frost migration model parameters such as substrate and frost albedo, frost emissivity, and the supply of N2 require additional observations. The New Horizons …

Radiant Auto-Ignition of Wood
… mass loss rate, critical heat flux, and thermal inertia are examined and compared with the piloted ignition. The ignition contributed by glowing ignition, and flaming ignition is also discussed.

Design and Field-test of Solar-passive Thermal Refugia for Overwintering Mozambique Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in Central Texas
… of Cancer. Thus, there is a need for appropriate thermal refuge technology, which still remains unfulfilled. An experimental, solar-passive thermal refuge was designed, produced, and tested in triplicate trials for each of two insulation treatments. The refuge design envisaged a floorless, …

Design and thermal analysis for a novel EMCCD camera payload in a 1U CubeSat form factor
… CubeSat form factor is challenging given the low thermal mass, volume, surface area, and power availability for heat storage, dissipation and control systems that would typically be available for larger form factor spacecraft. The goal of this project is to design and per- form thermal analysis …
