The increasing need for energy efficiency and sustainability as made reducing consumption in buildings a top priority. Information communication technologies (ICT) have been proven to be an effective tool achieving this goal. However, many legacy appliances commercial residential are energy-intensive not connected, making their replacement with new, more efficient models significant upfront cost. In paper, solution is presented that integrates equipment such heating, ventilation, air...

Emulsions stabilized by environmentally friendly surfactants have been at the center of research attention over recent decades. Non-ionic with good biodegradability, while being non-toxic and non-irritating, dominated in this area. For a chosen system, main goal is to engineer its properties for smaller droplet sizes better stability, process which mainly derived from emulsification method. In present study, Ethylan 1005 1008 were used as stabilizers, both alone combined different ratios,...

The building sector is responsible for a significant amount of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thus, the monitoring, control optimization in buildings will play critical role coming years improving efficiency reducing However, while there are number studies on how to make smarter manage through smart devices, need more research integrating with legacy equipment systems. It therefore vital define mechanisms improve use existing buildings. This study proposes new...

Gasoline vehicles have generally relied upon a combination of palladium and rhodium for more than 25 years to facilitate the required oxidative reductive reactions carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx). Recently, steady increases in price relative platinum fuelled demand reincorporate into three-way catalysts (TWCs). However, fundamental properties platinum, including susceptibility toward sintering inhibition under typical gasoline operating conditions, present...

Apatite silicates are attracting significant interest as potential SOFC electrolyte materials. They non-conventional oxide ion conductors in the sense that interstitials, rather than vacancies, key defects. In this work we compare structures of La9.6Si6O26.4 and La8Sr2Si6O26, both before after hydration order to gather information about location interstitial site. Neutron diffraction structural studies suggest as-prepared La8Sr2Si6O26 hydrated sites close apatite channel centre. For...

It is well known that the use of different methods for measuring particle size distributions may lead to very results. This completely understood in case solid particles which differ several other aspects beyond their (e.g. shape). However, explanation more difficult small emulsion droplets where shape all spherical. Here, idea error distribution with respect droplet origin results from method, proposed. Each method relies on a physical principle and so relatively uniformly distributed...
