Positioning And Design Recommendations For Materials Of Efficient Thermal Storage Mass In Passive Buildings

The role of mass in energy storage has long been a subject of interest in passive buildings. Thermal mass is used to diminish temperature variations for interior spaces in desert or semi- desert climates. Energy from solar and internal gains during the day in winter is often greater than daytime heating requirements. This energy can be stored in materials within the building, and released at night to offset building heat loss. In a similar manner, building mass may allow the interior to remain cooler during the daytime in summer and reduce air conditioning requirements. In this paper, the geometric and energetic positioning of thermal mass has been studied in order to determine most convenient locations. It is found that floors receive direct solar energy for a high percentage of time, usually 70%-90% of the radiation transmitted through the window during the day (9 am to 3 pm solar time). The materials related to the technical efficiency of thermal mass are reviewed specifying the thickness most suitable for storing solar heat in the winter or keeping the interior cool in summer.Fil: Esteves, Alfredo.

The relation between aggressive behavior and engagement in violence

Exposure to community violence is positively correlated with aggression towards other people (Allwood & Bell, 2008). Researchers in this area have classified aggression into two broad categories, proactive and reactive aggression. Proactive aggression refers to aggression that is used as an instrument to achieve a goal, whereas reactive aggression refers to aggression that is used as a response to a real or perceived treat (Chaux, Arboleda, & Rincon, 2012). Exposure to community violence impacts both reactive and proactive aggression, but mechanisms explaining this relationship are still unclear. One potential mediator of this relationship is religiosity. Previous research suggests that individuals turn to religion as a coping mechanism when encountering stressful situations, but the efficacy of this coping mechanism has generated mixed results (Ano & Vasconcelles, 2005). Considering that exposure to violence and aggressive behavior lead to stress, it is plausible that religiosity is a mediator of this relationship. One hundred twenty three currently enrolled Eastern Michigan University undergraduate students completed self-report measures assessing exposure to community violence, religiosity and both reactive and proactive aggression. It was hypothesized that higher levels of exposure to violence are positively correlated with both types of aggression and religious coping would moderate that relationship. This hypothesis was not supported. However, there was a direct effect between experiences with \u27safety\u27 (the mirror image of violence exposure) and lower levels of proactive aggression

Polyether Product Recovery: Salt-Induced Water-Polymer Separation

Evonik Industries currently loses approximately 50 tons of polyether product to wastewater washes annually. Evonik has requested an industrially viable solution to maximize the recovery of the lost product in the current process. It was required that the solution have a one year payback period, and be in compliance with current regulatory policies. Literature sources showed that salt is a commonly used agent to force the separation of polyether-water mixtures. Using this information, a method was developed using a salt already present in the process to induce a phase separation and to recover the polyether. An empirical multilinear refractive index model was developed to determine the polyether content in treated samples, while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the salt content. A series of preliminary tests followed trends observed in academia, which claimed that salt composition and temperature had an effect on the amount of polyether recovered. A design of experiment (DoE) was performed on three classes of Evonik’s polyether to determine the optimum conditions for product recovery on a bench scale. Using the optimal recovery region from the DoE, a scale up was performed, and two other tests were performed to examine the effect of reducing the water used in the washes. In both cases, 88-99% of the polymer could be recovered, although the reduced-water trials required an order of magnitude less salt than the full-wash trials. From these results, it is expected approximately $130,000 of product could be recovered annually with an initial investment of$46,500.https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/capstone/1089/thumbnail.jp

Energy conservation and solar energy use for cooking impact of its massive adoption in the arid zone of Argentina

The use of solar energy is essential in transforming today's human environments into tomorrow's sustainable human habitats. This paper presents the positive impacts produced by the adoption of energy-efficient cooking equipment-using heat retention box cookers and the solar drum ovens-in the arid zone of Argentine. These solar cooking technologies improve the quality of life for local populations and, at the same time, save energy, time and effort in trying to obtain firewood. They minimize serious health problems associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions control. The study documental in this paper demonstrates that usage of these technologies results in the saving of 65.7% of Liquefied Petroleum Gas and 63.8% of Firewood utilized in Argentina's rural and arid zone. These results indicate that, if 50% of the arid zone population were to adopt these technologies, a reduction of 3.09KgCO2e of greenhouse gases per capita from 2015 to 2050 is possible.Fil: Esteves Miramont, Alfredo.
