A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
( DEStech Publications Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ... -
Application of Fatty Acid Based Phase-Change Material to Reduce Energy Consumption from Roofs of Buildings
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2016 , Article)Buildings account for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in the U.S., especially the energy-inefficient commercial building sector. As part of the future path toward realizing net zero energy buildings, ... -
Assessment strategies of different molten salts for heat transfer in tri-generation systems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Book chapter)Tri-Generation Systems (TGS) are designed for combined cooling, heating, and power production within a single process. In this paper, the integration of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) together with TGS is studied. The ... -
