Heat Transfer: Current Applications of Air Conditioning deals with problems and applications of air conditioning. The discussions are organized around non-stationary heat transfer through walls; study of confined rooms or enclosures; calculation of cooling loads; heat transfer with two-phase refrigerants; measurement of thermal conductivity and water vapour permeability of insulating materials; and tests on air handling equipment (room air-conditioners, induction or fan coil air-conditioners). This book is comprised of 60 chapters and begins with an assessment of the unit-system controversy in the United States and the quest for an ultimate resolution. The following chapters explore the resolution of conductive heat transfer problems using the finite element method; thermal behavior of composite walls under transient conditions; thermal and electrical models for solving problems of non-stationary heat transfer through walls; and use of a radiometer to measure the average temperature of a wall. Experimental results for mixed air convection along a vertical surface are also presented. This monograph will be a valuable resource for electronics engineers.

Bibliographic Guide to Refrigeration 1965-1968 is a bibliographic guide to all the documents abstracted in the International Institute of Refrigeration Bulletin during the period 1965-1968. The references include nearly 7,000 reports, articles, and communications, classified according to subjects, and followed by a listing of books. This book is divided into 10 parts and begins with a listing of references on thermodynamics, heat transfer, and other basic physical phenomena relating to refrigeration, including desiccation and measurements of temperature, humidity, and pressure. The next sections are devoted to the physics of low temperatures and cryogenics; production and distribution of cold; refrigerating plants (mainly in the food domain); and refrigerated transport and packaging. Other references deal with air conditioning and heat pumps; and industrial, biological, medical, and agricultural applications of refrigeration. The final section focuses on standards and regulations, economics and statistics, and education and trade activities in the refrigeration industry. This guide is intended to assist researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and operators who are in either constant or occasional contact with the refrigeration domain.

The English-French volume of the International Dictionary of Refrigeration contains approximately 4400 terms with their definitions in the 2 official languages of the International Institute of Refrigeration, English and French. Approximately 200 experts, who are members of the IIR network and are from about 30 countries on all the continents, took part in the development of the Dictionary. The terms are allocated to 11 chapters: Fundamentals - Refrigeration and Production - Refrigerating Equipment - Cooling Methods - Storage, Transport, Distribution - Refrigeration of Perishable Products - Air Conditioning - Heat Pumps - Cryology - Other Applications of Refrigeration - Refrigeration and the Environment. The terms are classified in alphabetical order within 110 sections. An alphabetical index in English and another one in French make it easy to perform searches for terms and their synonyms. 9 volumes will be published containing the terms alone in 9 languages, with the corrresponding English and French equivalents: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian and Spanish.(Now published) Le volume anglais-francais du Dictionnaire International du Froid comporte environ 4400 termes avec leurs definitions dans les deux langues officielles de l'Institut International du Froid (IIF). Pres de 200 experts, membres du reseau de l'IIF, appartenant a une trentaine de pays de tous les continents, ont participe a l'elaboration du Dictionnaire. Les termes sont regroupes dans 11 chapitres: Principes de base - Production de froid - Installations frigorifiques - Methodes de refroidissement - Entreposage, transport, distribution - Application du froid aux produits perissables - Conditionnement d'air - Pompes a chaleur - Cryologie - Autres applications du froid - Froid et environnement. Les termes sont classes par ordre alphabetique en anglais dans 110 sous-chapitres. Deux index alphabetiques, en anglais et en francais, permettent de trouver rapidement les termes cherches et leurs synonymes. Neuf fascicules vont etre publies avec uniquement les termes en neuf langues, en correspondance avec les termes anglais et francais : allemand, arabe, chinois, espagnol, italien, japonais, neerlandais, norvegien et russe (publies).
