The article contains an analysis of selected systems for thermorenovation of vertical partitions in protected buildings. Historical buildings often require thermo-renovation, but in practice their "insulation" can be applied only internally on partitions without decorations. Internal thermorenovation methods can be classified according to heat exchange and moisture transport. For the purpose of this paper, the methods were analysed in terms of diffusion-open and diffusion-closed systems, and compared in a multi-variant aspect. The calculations were made assuming a wall with the moisture content up to 3%, a wall with the very high moisture content up to 11%, and for a wet wall with a constant inflow of water due to capillary action. They attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of various thermo-modernisation treatments in building partitions in the aspect of protection against permanent moisture growth, mould development and improvement of their overall heat protection, considering the 8-year time interval. Several different sets of materials were included in a multivariate analysis, as well as various scenarios of the possible effects of their use. The paper is summarised with conclusions regarding the effectiveness and risk related to the application of different internal methods of thermo-renovation of partitions.

Aim of this study is to analyse the percentage of weight loss in dragon fruit by keeping at different physical condition. We need to store fruits and vegetable at particular optimum physical condition because it is highly Vanishable. Vanishable means they can spoil very easily, because of high moisture content transpiration rate is also very high and since they are living commodity they undergo respiration. In this experiment a case study is conducted at different temperature of 12℃,8℃and 4℃. As the weight is decreased the firmness of fruit also decreases.
