A Vegetable Oil as Heat Transfer Fluid for Parabolic Trough Collector: Dynamic Performance Analysis under Ouagadougou Climate Conditions †
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(...)

Wendlassida Joelle Stéphanie Tiendrebeogo/Zabsonre1* , Denlewende Sylvain Zabsonre , Fulgence Kabore , Abdoulaye Sanou, Yakouba Haro, Inoussa Zoungrana, Dieu-Donné Ouedraogo
Background Common severe back pain due to disc herniation is rare in the paediatric population which involves
children under eighteen years of age. Paediatric lumbar disc herniation (LDH) cannot be considered the same disease
as in adults, as it has potentially different natural and clinical backgrounds. The treatment of pediatric LDH is the(...)
