Go to Editorial ManagerSublime is considered one of the significant concepts in the recent architectural thought; it has emerged clearly as a mean of creating the highest levels of continuity in architecture, especially in contemporary architectural movements. The importance of sublime especially has emerged. Many architectural studies dealt with concept of sublime in architecture is different and various ways according to the trend of each study; this shows the importance of studying the concept of sublime in the architectural field in general. This study tries to focus on the utilization of the sublime as heritage continuity system in Islamic Architecture because it’s important in the generation of sublimity of architectural models. The paper discusses the importance of this concept and its utilization in the designs, in order to explore the particular problem which has been represented as (The absence of a specific imagination of methods and strategies for achieving sublimation).Thus the objectives of the paper has been formed by building a theoretical framework consisting of two main items of detailed theoretical field which specifies sublime as a concept ,Firstly, Then the application of the important Islamic Architectural products in Mashhad Architecture as a model, Secondly, Finally, concluding utilization of sublime as dogmatically system in Mashhad Architecture, Thirdly, after discussing the results to formulate the conclusions in the end.
The problem that still exists nowadays with the petrol station is the method of operation because the petrol station is currently operated manually. As it is a time-consuming process that increases manpower, other problems are related to accuracy, gasoline smuggling, fluctuations in global oil prices, sales, database management, environmental pollution and others. Traditional methods of monitoring fuel in petrol station by humans on site are unable to meet the expectations for efficiency, accuracy and cost. Therefore, this paper designs an intelligent system of three filling stations, where the three stations are simultaneously displayed on a single web application, and this IoT-based system is implemented to address all the problems. Therefore, this paper presents the design and implementation of three petrol stations in which we are going to measure the level of fuel and show it to central server. internet of things (IoT) based petrol station monitoring system is a good approach to improve monitoring efficiency and to improve management efficiency in stations remotely. simulation results presented in LabVIEW software showed the ability of the system to monitor levels of petrol, detect fire, evaporation and etc.
A wind tunnel is a piece of equipment specifically designed for studying the influence of air passing over solid matters in aerodynamic research. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to conduct methodical research into the design and modeling of flow characteristic in a closed-loop wind tunnel. The necessary intake fan velocity was established using an analytical velocity model, and the test section's inlet conditions were produced by applying the Reynolds number equation, assuming that the Reynolds number was 500,000. Instead than using the traditional method, a full-scale CFD model of the complete wind tunnel was taken into consideration. This made it possible to improve the flow quality over the entire circuit as well as only in the test area. The test section flow quality was more impacted by upstream flow circumstances than downstream conditions, according to analysis of the guide vane designs. Therefore, careful consideration has to be done while constructing the vanes at upstream curves, especially corners that are parallel to the test section. The simulation results showed that, in the case of a fully configured wind tunnel, flow uniformity in the test section is successfully attained.
The electronic equipment industry has developed rapidly in recent years. The amount of heat emitted from such equipment is seriously increased. Increasing the temperature of the electronic devices degrades their performance and as a final result their failure. Therefore, the requirements for an effective cooling system have become more important than ever. One of the most important methods of heat dissipation that the researchers focused on is the use of piezoelectric fans (PE). The current study reviews most of the developments that have taken place since its discovery nearly 40 years ago and focused on reducing power consumption. Most of the improvements and developments have been focused on obtaining optimal designs for these piezoelectric fans, which are used in different applications. This review clarifies the foundations and concepts of designing piezoelectric fans by comparing the data presented in previous studies. Furthermore, in the last ten years, numerical simulation has entered as an effective tool in predicting the optimal design of piezoelectric fans. The design of piezoelectric fans is in two forms, either single or multiple. The single fan system is used within a limited range of applications, as large cooling systems cannot be replaced by it. Therefore, the cooling system consisting of multiple piezoelectric fans is promising as a unique solution to effectively dissipate heat in electronic devices. The percentage of experimental studies is about 32 % while the studies of CFD is about 21 %, and the combined one is about 47 %.
Evaporative cooling is a widely used energy-saving and environmentally friendly cooling technology. Evaporative cooling can be defined as a mass and heat transfer process in which the air is cooled by the evaporation of water and as a result a large amount of heat is transferred from the air to the water and thus the air temperature decreases. Evaporative cooling is mainly used in many cooling technologies used in buildings, factories, agricultural in addition to it is used industrially in cooling towers, evaporative condensers, humidification, and humidity control applications. Evaporative cooling is divided into direct evaporative cooling and indirect evaporative cooling, as well as water evaporative cooling and air evaporative cooling. This paper reviews the most important developments and technologies in evaporative cooling that lead to lower energy consumption and provide suitable cooling comfort.
This work uses different shapes of intake manifold for study the effect on a single cylinder four stroke gasoline engine. A numerical simulation of the flow achieved through five intake manifold designs, using 3D Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software package FLUINT (6.3.). Accordingly, the three-dimensional resolution of Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the standard k-ε turbulence model is undertaken to provide knowledge of the air movement nature and examining the intake manifold optimal geometry. Five cases of intake manifold are examined experimentally in order to produce a comprehensive and realistic data set. These data are in the form of engine performance, exhaust gas products and relative AFR for each case separately under different engine speeds. Exhaust gas analyzer type (Infragas-209) is used in the present work to measure exhaust gas concentrations and relative air/fuel ratio ( ). The results were obtained in this investigation showed that a Simulate numerically and experimentally is capable to select the optimized intake system geometry with reliability. Velocity is highest near the outer wall at increased the curvature ratio and pressure is highest near the inner wall at increased the curvature ratio. The secondary flow increases when the engine speeds and curvature ratio increase because of increasing the pressure difference between the inner wall and the outer wall. The effect of these parameters explained on the swirl air movement and tumble inside the cylinder are increasing by increase the engine speed and γ respectively. The increasing in the engine speed and the optimum selection of the manifold which designed enhanced the mixing of the fuel with air. The results showed that the optimized manifold 135º- NE (case 5) due to enhance AFR, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are improved.
