An exploration of the technical, economic, and energy-saving aspects of the design, modeling, and operation of non-conventional cooling and heating systems Cooling and heating can collectively constitute one of the largest sources of energy consumption in a modern building, with attendant costs and sustainability concerns. As the global climate changes and temperature extremes produce demand for even greater energy consumption, energy-efficient methods for cooling interior spaces have become more important than ever. Our sustainable future demands non-conventional methods for cooling and thermal storage which can meet the demands of a changing climate and an efficient, renewable power grid. ...
This three volume book contains the Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Advanced Computing, Networking and Informatics (ICACNI 2017). The book focuses on the recent advancement of the broad areas of advanced computing, networking and informatics. It also includes novel approaches devised by researchers from across the globe. This book brings together academic scientists, professors, research scholars and students to share and disseminate information on knowledge and scientific research works related to computing, networking, and informatics to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The book also promotes translation of basic research into applied investigation and convert applied investigation into practice.
INTRODUCTION In the pursuit of developing new comforts and luxuries the greedy modern man is unintentionally got entangled into several environmental problems. Once the solar energy arrives on the earth, the earth’s surface heats up and begins to emit terrestrial radiation back into the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) and some other minor gases are nearly opaque, they obstruct or trap the outgoing terrestrial radiation or heat and makes the globe warmer than it be otherwise [John Houghton, 1997].
Second International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Applications was the annual research conference aimed to bring together researchers around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of Intelligent Computing and Applications. The main objective of the second edition of the conference for the scientists, scholars, engineers and students from the academia and the industry is to present ongoing research activities and hence to foster research relations between the Universities and the Industry. The theme of the conference unified the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research concepts with applications. The conference covered vital issues ranging from intelligent computing, soft computing, and communication to machine learning, industrial automation, process technology and robotics. This conference also provided variety of opportunities for the delegates to exchange ideas, applications and experiences, to establish research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 is considered to have been one of the worst natural disasters in history, affecting twelve countries, from Indonesia to Somalia. 175,000 people are believed to have lost their lives, almost 50,000 were registered as missing and 1.7 million people were displaced. As well as this horrendous toll on human life
Project Management process is mainly intended to serve as a general information guide for the young and fresh engineers who enter into the project management consultancy environment. The organizations may provide a broad outline of the project management in general during the induction program at entry level. But it is still desirable to have a complete idea and total understanding of the project management functions on a day to day basis. This aspect of project management is highlighted in the Part – A of this book. Part – A provides a bird’s eye view of the very beginning of development of engineering as a profession, with a holistic view of traditional project management and the pro...
