“…Even though DOE tool are not new techniques but its application has expended rapidly over the scientific areas including product/process quality improvement [11], product optimization [12] and services in the past two decades. Trainings and recent user-friendly commercial and non-commercial statistical software packages contributed significantly to DOE expansion in the research in this period.…”

Design of Experiments (DOE) is statistical tool deployed in various types of system, process and product design, development and optimization. It is multipurpose tool that can be used in various situations such as design for comparisons, variable screening, transfer function identification, optimization and robust design. This paper explores historical aspects of DOE and provides state of the art of its application, guides researchers how to conceptualize, plan and conduct experiments, and how to analyze and interpret data including examples. In addition, this paper reveals that in past 20 years application of DOE have been growing rapidly in manufacturing as well as nonmanufacturing industries. It was most popular tool in scientific areas of medicine, engineering, biochemistry, physics, computer science and counts about 50% of its applications compared to all other scientific areas.

“…So far, the literature has presented different experimental studies on the integration of PCM in glazing units [13,23,24,30,[32][33][34]41,43,44].

“…The surface temperatures, transmitted irradiances, heat fluxes and comfort performance of both the PCM glazing and the reference fenestration were measured during extensive experimental campaigns, in order to assess the energy performance of the technology under different boundary conditions. Starting from experimental results, the effects of thermo-physical parameters on the dynamic heat transfer performance of PCM were also investigated by means of numerical simulation softwares [13,23,30,[43][44][45]. The semi-transparent property of a glazing roof containing PCM and the effect of zenith angle on the thermal performance were only analysed numerically by Liu et al [46,47].…”

Phase Change Materials in Transparent Building Envelopes: A Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis

et al. 2018

Abstract:Building envelopes can play a crucial role in building improvement efficiency, and the adoption of Phase Change Materials (PCMs), coupled with transparent elements, may: (i) allow a better control of the heat flows from/to the outdoor environment, (ii) increase the exploitation of solar energy at a building scale and (iii) modulate light transmission in order to prevent glare effects. Starting from a literature review, focused on experimental works, this research identifies the main possible integrations of PCMs in transparent/translucent building envelope components (in glazing, in shutters and in multilayer façade system) in order to draw a global picture of the potential and limitations of these technologies. Transparent envelopes with PCMs have been classified from the simplest "zero" technology, which integrates the PCM in a double glass unit (DGU), to more complex solutions-with a different number of glass cavities (triple glazed unit TGU), different positions of the PCM layer (internal/external shutter), and in combination with other materials (TIM, aerogel, prismatic solar reflector, PCM curtain controlled by an electric pump). The results of the analysis have been summarised in a Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis table to underline the strengths and weaknesses of transparent building envelope components with PCMs, and to indicate opportunities and threats for future research and building applications.

Summary The application of an inorganic phase change material (PCM) on instrument panel for temperature control is reviewed here through numerical simulation. A constant heat flux is provided on one face of the panel, and the inhibited temperature build‐up is studied for different modes of PCM placement. The distribution of microencapsulated PCM over the surface of the panel as embedded in the paint layer reduces the temperature gradient that is unavoidable for lumped placement at one location on the panel, which also affects the average temperature. The effect of the size of microcapsules, ranging from mm to μm scale on characteristics of temperature build‐up, is reported here under two different exposure conditions of upper surface of the paint layer, that is, natural convection and fully insulated condition. The cooling characteristics of the panel in the absence of heat flux are presented.
