Entropy generation in a rectangular slab with a non-uniform internal heat generation is investigated. A non-dimensional analysis of the local and total entropy generation during steady state heat conduction through the slab is presented. The external surfaces of the slab are subjected to asymmetric convection cooling by the surrounding medium. Analytical temperature distribution within the slab ...

The authors have grown self-assembled InP quantum dot lasers on GaAs substrate by MOVPE with 750°C growth temperature. The operating temperature has a distinctive effect on the threshold current density. The authors have measured the threshold current density between 190-350K. At low temperatures, the threshold current increases with temperature, reaches a local maximum and then decreases for ...

Abstract In 1967, the steel industry realized bottom blowing process after the shrouded injector had been invented by Canadian Guy Savard and Robert G.H.Lee. While in the nonferrous metallurgical industry, top blowing] process was industrial applied in Australia in 1987. And side blowing Noranda process went into industrial production in Canada in 1973. Then in 1991 the pilot test of bottom ...

Vertical stratification occurs in many thermal energy storages, and is often promoted to increase efficiency. Six temperature-distribution models for vertically stratified Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are described and applied for determining their energy and exergy efficiencies. The models are Linear, Stepped, Continuous-linear, Basic Three-zone, General Three-zone and General-linear. ...

The paper uses a two-dimensional heat conduction model to obtain the thermal performance and entropy generation in an orthotropic pin fin used in advanced light weight heat sinks. The analytical expressions for the distribution and heat transfer rates are used to generate the thermal performance graphs that are of general applicability unlike the results for specific cases reported so far. The ...

A worker in a foundry, especially near the furnace, is affected by several heat-related adverse health outcomes arising from non-ionising radiation emitted by molten metal. Such workers are likely to be affected by heat cramps, exhaustion, stroke, etc. Hence, the design of a proper furnace environment is an important issue to avoid these health hazards. In this study, the furnace environment is ...

The atmospheric temperature distribution is typically described by its mean and variance, while higher order moments, such as skewness, have received less attention. Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry between the positive and negative tails of the distribution, which has implications for extremes. It was recently shown that near-surface temperature in the southern hemisphere is positively ...

An analytical approach, as a reduced form of the more general multi-flux and discrete ordinates method for radiative transfer, is proposed in this article with clarified theoretical basis. The main assumption inherent in the proposed method is that the radiation intensities along positive and negative paths are isotropic and have constant values in each direction. A realistic nonisothermal ...

This paper presents an entropy generation analysis for steady conduction in a hollow sphere with temperature dependent internal heat generation and asymmetric convective cooling. An exact analytical solution for the temperature distribution is used to compute dimensionless local and total entropy generation rates in the hollow sphere. The total entropy generation rate depends on reference heat ...

Four full-scale tests are conducted in a real road tunnel, with ceiling jet temperature distributions measured 200 m upstream and downstream from the fire. Two sizes of pool fires, 1.8 and 3.2 MW, with two different fire surface heights, 0.2 and 1.7 m from the floor level, are considered. Longitudinal ventilation velocities are also varied. The experimental data obtained in these four tunnel fire ...

Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with fiber-optic cables is a powerful tool to detect illicit connections in storm sewer systems. High-frequency temperature measurements along the in-sewer cable create a detailed representation of temperature anomalies due to illicit discharges. The detection limits of the monitoring equipment itself are well-known, but there is little information available ...

The effect of a separate–heater structure for crystallisation to enable multilevel storage for phase–change memory (PCM) device was investigated. This separate–heater is characterised by a constant resistant Rh. Existing power from the heater layer (TiSi3) can be well controlled, enabling crystallisation process for multilevel storage. ...

Exergy is proposed in a companion paper as a standard for the properties and potential impacts of pollutants from smokestacks, and a method was developed for exergy distributions of such pollutants. Here, the method is applied to an illustrative example. The results include spatial distributions of temperature, pollutant concentration and exergy parameters. Exergy is seen to provide an assessment ...

In this study, the effects of urban parks on temperature were investigated in the case of three urban parks (Altınpark, Gençlik Park and Kurtuluş Park) of different sizes and supporting different plant densities and distributions in urban areas of Ankara City, Turkey. Local microscale temperature changes caused by green areas within park boundaries and park vicinities exhibited differences ...

To assist student understanding of heat transfer through woody stems, we developed an instructional package that included an Excel-based, one-dimensional simulation model and a companion instructional worksheet. Guiding undergraduate botany students to applying principles of thermodynamics to plants in nature is fraught with two main obstacles: (1) students have a limited knowledge of heat ...

The problem of two–dimensional heat flow in the stator of induction motor is solved by use of a finite element formulation and arch–shaped elements in the r–θ plane of the cylindrical coordinate system. The shape functions and exact solution matrices are derived algebraically for utmost economy in computation. The temperature distribution has been determined considering convection from the stator ...

The application of forced aeration, namely in the upflow (blowing) or downflow (suction) mode has been increasing in modern composting processes. These aeration modes often create a sharp temperature gradient in the composting mass. Examples of widely varying temperatures at different layers of controlled and non-controlled aerated piles have been reported frequently (Fernandes et al., 1994; ...

The thermal behavior of a commercially widespread gypsum board (810 kg/m 3) under fire condition has been investigated. For this purpose two 12 mm thick gypsum boards are subjected to the standard fire ISO 834 and the temperature distribution within them is measured by means of thermocouples placed at different depths in the samples. The results hereof are used to validate a numerical model based ...
