Temperature and velocity conditions of air flow in vertical channel of hinged ventilated facade of a multistory building.

This article considers the influence of the building's tallness and the presence of mounting grooved lines on the parameters of heat transfer in the gap of a hinged ventilated facade. A numerical description of the processes occurring in a heat-gravitational flow is given. The average velocity and temperature of the heat-gravitational flow of a structure with open and sealed rusts are determined with unchanged geometric parameters of the gap. The dependence of the parameters influencing the thermomechanical characteristics of the enclosing structure is derived depending on the internal parameters of the system. Physical modeling of real multistory structures is performed by projecting actual parameters onto a reduced laboratory model (scaling)

Experimental Assessment of Moisture Transfer in the Vertical Ventilated Channel

This article considers the moisture transfer phenomenon in the vertical ventilated channel. Also the article considers innovative structures for the vertical ventilated channel.The negative factors connected with moisture accumulation and excessive moistening of a heat insulation are given. Optimum design parameters for definition of the most intensive moisture transfer are discovered: systems with and without grooved lines. Influence that existence of technological gaps (grooved lines) has on the speed of air flows in a gap is investigated. Dependence of speed on width of the ventilated gap for a design with the opened and closed grooved lines is established empirically. The dehumidification properties of the vertical ventilated channel are described, as well as dependence of mass evaporation rate on time is established. Processes of drying-out in various conditions are compared

Functionality of Ventilated Facades: Protection of Insulation

This article discusses about methods of construction of the ventilated facades. The ventilated facade is not only the element of facing, it is the supporting structure. Their main objective - creation of air ventilating space between a facade and an external wall of the building. Moving of air in this gap protects a heater from destruction, interfering with a moisture congestion. In addition, the ventilated facade protect the building from aggressive influence of external environment, have a sound and thermal insulation properties. There are several problems of systems of the ventilated facades connected with an application of a heater. For more effective using it is necessary to minimize contact of a heater with environment

Moisture Transfer in Ventilated Facade Structures

This article discusses the phenomenon of moisture transfer in the designs of ventilated facades (VF). The main ways of moisture transfer are defined. The negative factors connected with moisture accumulation and excessive moistening of insulation are given. The physical processes occurring in the gap of the building envelope due to saturation of air with water vapor are described. The dependence of the intensity of the mass transfer on the air velocity in the layer is considered. Much attention is paid to the selection of the optimum design of the facade, namely a system with or without grooved lines. The dependence of velocity and temperature on the width of the ventilated gap is established empirically for the constructions with open and closed grooves. Expediency of a design without grooves to effectively remove moisture is determined

Tribology properties of hybrid graphene oxide materials as lubricant additives

Graphene oxide was synthesized by the modified Hammers method. With managed hydrolysis in isopropanol solution obtained hybrid material “graphene oxide - copper oxide nanoparticles”. The phase composition of the hybrid material was studied by X-ray phase analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy. By ultrasonic processing dispersions of synthesized materials in glycerol were produced. The concentration of lubricating additives in the lube oil was 0.05 wt. %. The tribological properties of dispersions were investigated using a pin-on-disc friction machine. Tests showed that in the presence of graphene oxide, the friction coefficient was ~0.02, while with the addition of a hybrid material, the coefficient of friction was ~0.035. This is due to various mechanisms of lubrication. Reduction of the coefficient of friction in the presence of graphene oxide is associated with the formation of tribocarbon on the porosity of frictional contacts. While the addition of a hybrid material containing the CuO nanoparticles leads to the formation of a third body
