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

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The spring atmospheric heat source(AHS)over the Tibetan Plateau(TP)has been suggested to affect the Asian summer monsoon and summer precipitation over South China.However,its influence on the summer precipitation in Northeast China(NEC)remains unknown.The connection between spring TP AHS and subsequent summer precipitation over NEC from 1961 to 2020 is analyzed in this study.Results illustrate that stronger spring TP AHS can enhance subsequent summer NEC precipitation,and higher soil moisture in the Yellow River Valley-North China region(YRVNC)acts as a bridge.During spring,the strong TP AHS could strengthen the transportation of water vapor to East China and lead to excessive rainfall in the YRVNC.Thus,soil moisture increases,which regulates local thermal conditions by decreasing local surface skin temperature and sensible heat.Owing to the memory of soil moisture,the lower spring sensible heat over the YRVNC can last until mid-summer,decrease the land–sea thermal contrast,and weaken the southerly winds over the East Asia–western Pacific region and convective activities over the South China Sea and tropical western Pacific.This modulates the East Asia–Pacific teleconnection pattern,which leads to a cyclonic anomaly and excessive summer precipitation over NEC.
文摘To enhance system stability,solar collectors have been integrated with air-source heat pumps.This integration facilitates the concurrent utilization of solar and air as energy sources for the system,leading to an improvement in the system’s heat generation coefficient,overall efficiency,and stability.In this study,we focus on a residential building located in Lhasa as the target for heating purposes.Initially,we simulate and analyze a solar-air source heat pump combined heating system.Subsequently,while ensuring the system meets user requirements,we examine the influence of solar collector installation angles and collector area on the performance of the solar-air source heat pump dual heating system.Through this analysis,we determine the optimal installation angle and collector area to optimize system performance.

文摘Convection driven by a spatially non-uniform internal heat source between two horizontal isothermal walls is studied by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation,in order to explore the bounds of the temperature and the vertical heat flux.Specifically,the rigorous lower bound of the weighted average temperature<QT>is derived analytically,by decomposing the temperature field into a background profile and a fluctuation part.This bound obtained for the first time to consider non-uniform heat sources is found to be compatible with the existing bound obtained in uniform internal heat convection.Of physical importance,an analytical relationship is derived as an inequality connecting<QT>and the average vertical heat flux<wT>,by employing the average heat flux on the bottom wall(qb)as an intermediary variable.It clarifies the intrinsic relation between the lower bound of<QT>and the upper bound of<wT>,namely,these two bounds are essentially equivalent providing an easy way to obtain one from another.Furthermore,the analytical bounds are extensively demonstrated through a comprehensive series of direct numerical simulations.
文摘This study examines the behavior of a micropolar nanofluidflowing over a sheet in the presence of a transverse magneticfield and thermal effects.In addition,chemical(first-order homogeneous)reactions are taken into account.A similarity transformation is used to reduce the system of governing coupled non-linear partial differ-ential equations(PDEs),which account for the transport of mass,momentum,angular momentum,energy and species,to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations(ODEs).The Runge-Kutta method along with shoot-ing method is used to solve them.The impact of several parameters is evaluated.It is shown that the micro-rota-tional velocity of thefluid rises with the micropolar factor.Moreover,the radiation parameter can have a remarkable influence on theflow and temperature profiles and on the angular momentum distribution.

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The present investigation centers on the impact of viscous dissipation and ohmic heating on the plume generated by a line heat source under the impact of an aligned magnetic field.In this study,the flow model is adapted to incorporate ohmic heating and viscous dissipation by including the respective terms in the energy equation.A mathematical model is formulated as a system of coupled partial differential equations to analyze the flow problem.Subsequently,a numerical solution is derived with stream function formulation for the system of coupled partial differential equations,which transmutes it into ordinary differential equations.To achieve this,the numerical properties of the problem are established through the utilization of the Shooting method in tandem with the MATLAB tool bvp4c.The graphical representations of both missing and specified boundary conditions depict the effects of the magnetic parameter,viscous dissipation variable,magnetic force parameter,Prandtl number,and magnetic Prandtl number.These are accompanied by a discussion of their respective physical implications.The observed results claimed that the velocity,current density,and temperature distribution decrease for enhancing magnetic parameters.Meanwhile,the skin friction and magnetic flux drop while the heat transfer rate increases with an increment in magnetic parameters.These fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics were observed to decrease for increasing viscous dissipation.The current work is novel in incorporating ohmic heating viscous dissipation in energy equations coupled with Max-well and magnetic induction equations.

文摘In order to analyze the influence of the distance between heat sources(D_(LA))on the welding process,the effects of D_(LA)on the droplet transfer behavior,weld formation characteristics and weld formation mechanism of AH36 in laser and cable-type welding wire gas metal arc welding arc hybrid welding were studied.Real-time photography was conducted using a high-speed camera to determine the droplet transfer and arc behaviors;the surface morphology and macroscopic cross-section of the weld obtained from the experiment were observed and analyzed.The arc height decreases with the increase in the DLA,the arc width shows the opposite change,and the welding current decreases.The allure of the laser to the arc increases with the increase in the D_(LA).The frequency of droplet transfer increases with the increase in the D_(LA),but the growth rate decreases.The continuous increase in the D_(LA)leads to the tendency of the droplet size to decrease first and then increase,and the minimum value is obtained when the D_(LA)is 4 mm.The D_(LA)has obvious influence on the weld formation.The weld penetration and reinforcement change similarly,increasing first and then decreasing as the D_(LA)increases,and the laser area of the weld also increases first and then decreases.

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In order to investigate the alternate operation characteristics of a solar-ground source heat pump system（SGSHPS）,various alternate operation modes are put forward and defined.A two-dimensional mathematical model with freezing/melting phase changes is developed for the heat transfer analysis of the soil.Based on the numerical solution of the model,the variation trends of underground soil temperature of the SGSHPS operated in various alternate operation modes are discussed.The results indicate that,for the day-night and short-time interval alternate operation modes without solar energy,the operation time fraction of a solar heat source should be confined to from 50% to 58% when operated in an alternate period of 24 h.Meanwhile,the disadvantages of a natural resumption of soil temperature can be overcome effectively by solar energy filling,and an optimal operation effect can be achieved by integrating the mode of solar energy filling with other alternate modes.In addition,the accuracy of the presented model is verified by the experimental data of borehole wall temperatures.The conclusions can provide a reference for the optimization operation of the SGSHPS.
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.
