Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper presents investigation of optimum insulation thickness, energy savings and payback periods for gas pipeline and liquid pipeline under the heating and cooling modes of a split air conditioning system using R-407C as refrigerant. Analyses are performed for four different insulation materials indicated as extruded polystyrene, foamboard, rockwool and expanded polystyrene. In consequence of the calculations, the optimum insulation thickness of gas pipeline vary from 45 to 50 mm, the energy saving vary between 78 and 83%; and the payback period vary from 0.025 to 0.468 years, whereas, the optimum insulation thickness of liquid pipeline vary from 28 to 45 mm, the energy saving vary between 40 and 79%; and the payback period vary from 0.044 to 0.289 years. Finally, for both gas and liquid pipeline, the expanded polystyrene is a better choice when the optimum insulation thickness is an important consideration.
