Convective heat transfer inside the gap of double glazed windows is studied numerically using a commercial CFD code (Fluent v6.3), for different Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratios. A reference window with empty gap is compared with windows where the

The development of fire safety research in road tunnels during the past 20 years is reviewed, with particular reference to the activity of the Flame Research Group at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Simulations of fire accidents in tun- nels are descr

A generalized Semenov model is proposed to describe the dynamics of compartment fires. It is shown that the transitions to flashover or to extinction can be described in the context of the catastrophe theory (or the theory of dynamical systems) by in

We discuss the principle of minimum entropy production as proposed by Prigogine, providing two examples (heat conduction in a fluid at rest and the combined shear flow and heat conduction in an incompressible fluid) for which the principle produces f

The established theory of linear diffusion phenomena is reformulated in the framework of the non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems theory (Liouville's approach), through the introduction of a suitable characteristic velocity for the processes under consi

This note introduces a mathematical derivation of the heat conduction model that incorporates boundary conditions. In particular, in the present approach boundary conditions are derived in parallel to the heat equation, while in the standard approach

The thermal response of a closed thermodynamic system perturbed by random fluctuations of the heat transfer rate through its boundary is studied by means of stochastic differential equations, in analogy with the mesoscopic thermodynamics approach. It

The analytical approach to the solution of a steady-state convection problem for Hagen-Poiseuille flow in tubes of arbitrary cross section was analyzed. The problem was studied in the view of isoperimetric inequalities, that is of inequalities holdin
