However, temperature is always different even at the same depth in the upper crust due to different heat sources. This paper summarizes the heat sources and classifies them into two types and five sub-types: crustorigin(partial melting, non-magma-generated tectonic events and radiogenic heat production), and mantle-origin(magma and heat conducted from the mantle). A review of global EGS sites is presented related to the five sub-types of heat sources. According to our new catalog, 71% of EGS sites host mantle-origin heat sources. The temperature logging curves indicate that EGS sites which host mantle-origin magma heat sources have the highest temperature. Therefore, high heat flow(>100 m W/m^(2)) regions with mantle-origin magma heat sources should be highlighted for the future exploration of EGS. The principle to identify the heat source is elucidated by applying geophysical and geochemical methods including noble gas isotope geochemistry and lithospheric thermal structure analysis. This analytical work will be helpful for the future exploration and assessment of HDR geothermal resources.展开更多

This country is suffering from severe electricity shortage problems which are expected to increase with time. In this research, an attempt is made to minimize this problem by combining the borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) with a heat pump, the indoor temperature of a residential building or other facility may be increased or reduced beyond the temperature interval of the heat carrier fluid. Due to the relatively high ground temperature in Middle Eastern countries, the seasonal thermal energy storages (STES) and ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have a remarkable potential, partly because the reduced thermal losses from the underground storage and the expected high COP (ratio of thermal energy gain to required driving energy (electricity)) of a heat pump, partly because of the potential for using STES directly for heating and cooling. In this research, groundwater conditions of Babylon city in Iraq were investigated to evaluate the possibility of using GSHP to reduce energy consumption. It is believed that such system will reduce consumed energy by about 60%.展开更多

Similar to the fluid flow, a new set of dimensionless numbers, namely quasi-Peclet numbers Pe 1, Pe 2 and Biot number Bi composed of angular velocity ω , thermophysical parameter, and geometry size are proposed, and applied to the dimensionless equations. Simulation result shows that it plays a decisive role in the process of the heat transfer. However, more important is that the numerical simulation depicts the difference between microcosmic and macroscopic structures of the temperature distribution, and reveals the influence of the relative relation of the dimensionless criterion numbers upon heat transfer characteristics.展开更多

The analysis of data also indicates that the direct borehole air-conditioning saved some power consumption obviously in the early stage of summer and energy saving of the GSHP system depended remarkably on its operation and management level. Besides the observation points of ground temperature are laid for a large-scale GSHP system, and the hydraulic balance of the pipes group needs to be concerned specially in safeguarding better reliability.

文摘For heating systems based on electricity storage coupled with solar energy and an air source heat pump(ECSA),choosing the appropriate combination of heat sources according to local conditions is the key to improving economic efficiency.In this paper,four cities in three climatic regions in China were selected,namely Nanjing in the hot summer and cold winter region,Tianjin in the cold region,Shenyang and Harbin in the severe cold winter region.The levelized cost of heat(LCOH)was used as the economic evaluation index,and the energy consumption and emissions of different pollutants were analyzed.TRNSYS software was used to simulate and analyze the system performance.The Hooke-Jeeves optimization algorithm and GenOpt software were used to optimize the system parameters.The results showed that ECSA systemhad an excellent operation effect in cold region and hot summer and cold winter region.Compared with ECS system,the systemenergy consumption,and the emission of different pollutants of ECSA system can be reduced by a maximum of 1.37 times.In cold region,the initial investment in an air source heat pump is higher due to the lower ambient temperature,resulting in an increase in the LOCH value of ECSA system.After the LOCH value of ECSA system in each region was optimized,the heating cost of the system was reduced,but also resulted in an increase in energy consumption and the emission of different pollutant gases.

文摘In this paper there are established the global existence and finite time blow-up results of nonnegative solution for the following parabolic system ut = △u ＋ v^P（x0, t） - au^τ, x ∈ Ω, t 〉 0, △u ＋ v^P（x0, t） - bu^τ, x ∈ Ω, t 〉 0 subject to homogeneous Dirichlet conditions and nonnegative initial data, where x0 ∈ Ω is a fixed point, p, q, r, s ≥ 1 and a, b 〉 0 are constants. In the situation when nonnegative solution （u, v） of the above problem blows up in finite time, it is showed that the blow-up is global and this differs from the local sources case. Moreover, for the special case r = s = 1, lim t→T＊（T＊-t）^p＋1/pq-1u（x,t）=（p＋1）^1/pq-1（q＋1）^p/pq-1（pq-1）^-p＋1/pq-1, lim t→T＊（T＊-t）^q＋1/pq-1u（x,t）=（p＋1）^1/pq-1（q＋1）^p/pq-1（pq-1）^-p＋1/pq-1 are obtained uniformly on compact subsets of/2, where T＊ is the blow-up time.

文摘An innovative and accurate method for controlling the interfacial structure of Mg-alloy/steel direct lap joints using a hybrid laser-gas tungsten arc(GTA)flexible control heat source was proposed.The study investigated the impact of spatial regulation of a flexible hybrid heat source on the thermal gradient distribution across the joint geometry and the resulting stress states in the joints,revealing the respective bonding and strengthening mechanisms.The findings indicate that the malposition alters the thermal gradient distribution within the joint,influencing the metallurgical bonding area,interfacial structure,fracture mode,and fracture path.Furthermore,the results showed that varying the laser pulse frequency affected the frequency of the laser-induced arc and the number of keyholes generated per unit length of the joint,which effectively altered the joint geometry and interfacial stress state,and could be used to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the joints.The joint's maximum load was measured to be 325.2 N/mm,which is approximately 88%of the Mg-alloy matrix and the highest reported strength for Mg alloy-steel dissimilar lap joints.A composite interfacial layer structure was achieved,consisting of Al_(11)(Mn,Fe)_(4)and a small amount of Mg_(2)Al_(3)intermetallic compounds(IMCs)at the weld front,along with Al_(11)(Mn,Fe)_(4)and Fe3Al IMCs in the weld middle.The key factors to achieving a high bonding strength of Mg-alloy/steel lap joints have been summarized.This study provides a technical and theoretical reference for the precise collaborative control of joint geometry,interfacial structure,and mechanical properties of dissimilar material lap joints.
文摘An inverse analysis is presented to estimate line heat source in two-dimensional steady-state and transient heat transfer problems.A constant heat source is considered in the steady-state heat transfer problem(a parameter estimation problem)and a time-varying heat source is considered in the transient heat transfer problem(a function estimation problem).Since a general irregular 2D heat conducting body is considered,a body-fitted grid generation is used to mesh the domain.Then governing equations and associated boundary and initial conditions are transformed from the physical domain to the computational domain and finite difference method is used to solve the governing equations to obtain the temperature distribution in the body.Using an efficient,accurate,and very easy to implement sensitivity analysis incorporated in a gradient based minimization method(here,steepest descentmethod),the unknown heat source is estimated accurately.In the function estimation part,it is assumed that there is no prior information on the functional form of the heat source and the estimation process can be performed with a reasonable initial guess for the heat source.The main advantage of the proposed inverse analysis is that the sensitivity matrix(and hence,the objective function gradient with respect to the unknown variables)can be computed during the direct heat transfer solution through newyet simple explicit expressions with no need to solve extra equations such as the sensitivity and adjoint problems and impose additional computational costs comparable to the direct problem solution ones.Some test cases are presented to investigate the accuracy,efficiency,and effect of measurement error on the estimated parameter and function for the line heat source.

文摘This paper discussed the experimental results of the performance of an organic Rankine cycle(ORC)system with an ultra-low temperature heat source.The low boiling point working medium R134a was adopted in the system.The simulated heat source temperature(SHST)in this work was set from 39.51°C to 48.60°C by the simulated heat source module.The influence of load percentage of simulated heat source(LPSHS)between 50%and 70%,the rotary valve opening(RVO)between 20%and 100%,the resistive load between 36Ωand 180Ωor the no-load of the generator,as well as the autumn and winter ambient temperature on the system performance were studied.The results showed that the stability of the system was promoted when the generator had a resistive load.The power generation(PG)and generator speed(GS)of the system in autumn were better than in winter,but the expander pressure ratio(EPR)was lower than in winter.Keep RVO unchanged,the SHST,the mass flow rate(MFR)of the working medium,GS,and the PG of the system increased with the increasing of LPSHS for different generator resistance load values.When the RVO was 60%,LPSHS was 70%,the SHST was 44.15°C and the resistive load was 72Ω,the highest PG reached 15.11 W.Finally,a simulation formula was obtained for LPSHS,resistance load,and PG,and its correlation coefficient was between 0.9818 and 0.9901.The formula can accurately predict the PG.The experimental results showed that the standard deviation between the experimental and simulated values was below 0.0792,and the relative error was within±5%.

文摘This study introduces a novel artificial heating technique aimed at addressing frost heave issues in embankments on frozen ground,offering a sustainable solution.Initial evaluations assessed various heating systems,including boilers,heat pumps,solar heaters,and electric heaters,focusing on their thermal performance and applicability.The study subsequently designed and implemented a direct-expansion ground source heat pump(DX-GSHP)system as the primary heat source for embankment warming.Rigorous testing confirmed the DX-GSHP system's ability to maintain a heat-supply temperature above 40℃ and a heat-absorption temperature below -3.5℃,effectively extracting geothermal energy for transfer to the topsoil layers.With a demonstrated coefficient of performance(COP)of 3.49,the DX-GSHP system not only proves its energy efficiency but also suggests a potential role in reducing the strain on electricity supply systems.Installation of DX-GSHPs,with heating capacities ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 kW and spaced at intervals of 2.0-4.0 m,provides a rapid thermal response to frost heave in singletrack railway embankments,thereby potentially mitigating frost-induced damage in cold climate regions.

文摘Iraq is located in the Middle East with an area that reaches 437,072 km2 and a population of about 36 million. This country is suffering from severe electricity shortage problems which are expected to increase with time. In this research, an attempt is made to minimize this problem by combining the borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) with a heat pump, the indoor temperature of a residential building or other facility may be increased or reduced beyond the temperature interval of the heat carrier fluid. Due to the relatively high ground temperature in Middle Eastern countries, the seasonal thermal energy storages (STES) and ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have a remarkable potential, partly because the reduced thermal losses from the underground storage and the expected high COP (ratio of thermal energy gain to required driving energy (electricity)) of a heat pump, partly because of the potential for using STES directly for heating and cooling. In this research, groundwater conditions of Babylon city in Iraq were investigated to evaluate the possibility of using GSHP to reduce energy consumption. It is believed that such system will reduce consumed energy by about 60%.
文摘The knowledge representation mode and inference control strategy were analyzed according to the specialties of air-conditioning cooling/heating sources selection. The constructing idea and working procedure for knowledge base and inference engine were proposed while the realization technique of the C language was discussed. An intelligent decision support system (IDSS) model based on such knowledge representation and inference mechanism was developed by domain engineers. The model was verified to have a small kernel and powerful capability in list processing and data driving, which was successfully used in the design of a cooling/heating sources system for a large-sized office building.
文摘By reduction to one dimensional, periodic as well as rotating pulse heat sources, investigation on heat transfer characteristics with rotating body is carried out. Similar to the fluid flow, a new set of dimensionless numbers, namely quasi-Peclet numbers Pe 1, Pe 2 and Biot number Bi composed of angular velocity ω , thermophysical parameter, and geometry size are proposed, and applied to the dimensionless equations. Simulation result shows that it plays a decisive role in the process of the heat transfer. However, more important is that the numerical simulation depicts the difference between microcosmic and macroscopic structures of the temperature distribution, and reveals the influence of the relative relation of the dimensionless criterion numbers upon heat transfer characteristics.
