EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SOLAR HEATING BY NATURAL HEAT CONVECTION AND RADIATION SeifA. Ahmed Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Beni-Suef University, BeniSuef, Egypt   ABSTRACT Heat storage is a good energy saving option these days. Heat storage makes it possible to use thermal energy at the required time. Solar water heaters for construction purposes and industrial purposes are the best source to maintain traditional energy sources and thus can maintain high quality energy and liquid or steel fuel due to the highest rise in their prices. In recent years, using solar energy has become remarkably cheap and especially noteworthy. The efficiency of natural solar water heater system depends on collector and reservoir setting, design and environmental factors such as solar intensity, ambient temperature and wind conditions. Also, the relative height of the tank and collector separation mainly affects the volume of the Siphon thermal flow ra...

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF ACOUSTIC MATERIAL AS THERMAL INSULATOR Hardeep Singh1 , Sukhdeep S. Dhami1 , Chaman Chandel2 & Rahul Arora1 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research, Chandigarh, India 2 Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment, Chandigarh ABSTRACT Sound pollution is big problem now-a-days and it causes many health issues. Soundproofing can be used to mitigate the effect of sound pollution, but it adds to the building cost. However, acoustic materials have low thermal conductivity and they may result in saving due to reduced use of electrical energy for heating/cooling of buildings. In the present work, the effectiveness of a commercially available acoustic material, made of Compressed Wood Fiber Cement Composites with a backing of Anti vibration Pad, as a thermal insulator is experimentally investigated. A CAD model of anti-vibration pad material was developed by...
