Heat transport in rotating processes finds a wide range of application in which academic issues in the fluid mechanics and heat transfer areas are here reported. This paper discusses successive works from the seminal paper of Taylor (1923) to recent numerical results established from a broad range of methods such as DNS, LES, RANS or LB methods. Th...
The present work aims to propose the use of Peltier modules for the superficial heat flux measurement, as an alternative to conventional heat flux sensors. In this study, the function of Peltier modules (TEM) as heat flux sensors is compared to the Captec® heat flux sensors (FGT), based on the premise that conventional heat flux sensors such as Cap...
The rotary kiln is widely used for the thermal treatment of granular materials in various industries. A better understanding of the heat transfer phenomena, both inside and outside of the industrial rotary kiln, will lead to developing sustainable production techniques, such as materials recycling and heat waste recovery. The present paper summaris...
Moisture buffering can be defined as the effect on the atmosphere of the exchanges of water vapour between the surface layers of hygroscopic materials and the indoor environment. Since latent heat exchanges take place, the moisture buffering has a direct thermal effect on summer indoor temperatures. We propose here to investigate this thermal effec...

In the present work, the hygrothermal behavior of a wall structure made of a novel biobased material, i.e. date palm fiber reinforced concrete was investigated. In this context, a specific setup was developed which allows simulating a bi-climatic environment with separate outdoor and indoor environments. This device made it possible to apply variou...

During refrigerated transport and storage, cheese generates heat via respiration of the living microorganisms. Therefore, free/mixed convection phenomena are expected to occur within the pallet and to internet with forced convection around it. The resulting airflow should promote appropriate internal ventilation within the pallet to ensure the temp...
