One of the reasons concrete cracks is due to “thermal cracking” and this relates to the temperature development as concrete hydrates as well as temperature differences within a slab.
Ultra-high temperatures above 1200°C can be achieved using concentrated sunlight. Such heating can be used to drive thermal dissociation/cracking type chemical reactions where intermediate products ...
Don't let your windows let the cold air in—or the warm air out. Here's how to detect, fix, and prevent drafty windows.
An international research team has proposed a novel photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module design that purportedly reduces the risks of cracking in the panel's PV unit. “A critical issue for PVT ...
Adding pallet systems brought Mach Machine success and additional productivity. The shop has since furthered its automation goals while adding new capabilities.
The anlysis showed that, when the PV panels are exposed to thermal radiation, the glass cracks are commonly initiated at the edge of the maximum temperature difference on the fire-exposed surface.
