Bagré, B.; Kam, S.Z.; Gounkaou, Y.W.; Boukar, M.; Muritala, I.K.; Nomao, H.S.D.; Armand, K.; Beré, A.; Daho, T. A
In this study, the thermal performance of the parabolic trough collector (PTC) has been
addressed under Ouagadougou climate conditions. Thus, after developing a model, the effect of mass
flow on PTC performance showed that the Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) temperature difference increases
when the mass flow rate (m. ) decreases while the therma(...)

Computational Model of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Green Insulating Fibrous Media. Materials
Sankara, H.; Baillis, D.; Coulibaly, O.; Coquard, R.; Naouar, N.; Saghrouni, Z
Modelling effective thermal properties is crucial for optimizing the thermal performance of
materials such as new green insulating fibrous media. In this study, a numerical model is proposed
to calculate the effective thermal conductivity of these materials. The fibers are considered to be
non-overlapping and randomly oriented in space. The(...)
