Optimization of the design of a polymer flat plate solar collector A.C. Mintsa Do Ango ⇑, M. Medale, C. Abid Aix-Marseille Universite´, CNRS, IUSTI UMR 7343, 13453 Marseille, France This work presents numerical simulations aimed at optimizing the design of polymer flat plate solar collectors. Solar collectors’ absorbers are usually made of copper or aluminum and, although they offer good performance, they are consequently expensive. In com-parison, using polymer can improve solar collectors economic competitiveness. In this paper, we propose a numerical study of a new design for a solar collector to assess the influence of the design parameters (air gap thickness, collector’s length) and of the operating conditions (mass flow rate, incident solar radiation, inlet temperature) on efficiency.

  • Protecting Against Vapor Explosions with Water Mist
    PROTECTING AGAINST VAPOR EXPLOSIONS WITH WATER MIST J. R. Mawhinney and R. Darwin Hughes Associates, Inc. INTRODUCTION This paper examines a number of practical questions about the possibility of using water mist to mitigate explosion hazards in some industrial applications. Water mist systems have been installed to replace Halon 1301 in gas compressor modules on Alaska’s North Slope oil fields. The hazard in the compressor modules includes fire in lubrication oil lines for the gas turbines that drive the compressors. The hazard also involves the potential for a methane gas leak, ignition, and explosion, although the probabilities of occurrence for the explosion hazard are not the same as the lube oil fire. The performance objective for the original halon systems was to inert the compartment, thus addressing both fire and explosion concerns. The design concentra- tions for the compressor modules were closer to 1.5% than to S%, indicating they were intended to provide an inerting effect. As part of the global move to eliminate ozone-depleting fire sup- pression agents, companies are replacing Halon 1301 systems with water mist systems. The water mist systems were developed and tested for control of liquid fuel or lubricating oil spray or pool fires associated with the turbines that drive the gas compressors. The water mist systems address the most likely hazard, the lube oil fire, hut the inerting benefit provided by Halon I301 has been lost. This has left the question of what to do if there is a methane gas leak unanswered. The question has been asked by the operators of these modules as to whether water mist can provide any benefit for mitigating the gas-air explosion hazard.

  • Indoor Air Quality Assessment
    INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT Barnstable United Elementary School 730 Osterville W. Barnstable Road Marstons Mills, Massachusetts Prepared by: Massachusetts Department of Public Health Bureau of Environmental Health Indoor Air Quality Program October 2019 BACKGROUND Building: Barnstable United Elementary School (BUES) formally the Horace Mann Charter School Address: 730 Osterville W. Barnstable Road Marstons Mills, Massachusetts Assessment Requested by: Barnstable Board of Health coordinated via Barnstable Public Schools (BPS) Reason for Request: Mold concerns prompted this recent request; however, over the past year the MDPH has been involved with a collaborative effort to perform general indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments throughout the Barnstable School District. Date of Assessment: September 12 and September 17, 2019 Massachusetts Department of Public Mike Feeney, Director and Cory Health/Bureau of Environmental Health Holmes, Environmental Analyst, (MDPH/BEH) Staff Conducting Assessment: MDPH/IAQ Program Building Description: The BUES is a two-story brick building completed in 1994. The building contains a centralized courtyard, general classrooms, science classrooms, art rooms, music rooms, kitchen, cafeteria, gymnasium, faculty workrooms and office space. Windows: Openable METHODS Please refer to the IAQ Manual and appendices for methods, sampling procedures, and interpretation of results (MDPH, 2015). Note that this building has been visited by the MDPH IAQ Program in June 2012 at the request of the BPS. The report from that visit can be found at: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/indoor-air-quality-reports-cities-and-towns-b (listed as Horace Mann). It is also important to note that the BPS has reportedly created IAQ committees in their school buildings, each with an IAQ liaison/teacher representative that conducts regular walk-throughs to identify on-going and/or potential environmental issues.

The first solution includes the use of Diffusion Pumps (DP’s) for the volume upstream of the Downstream Magnetic Spectrometer (DMS) regions. The second solution uses Turbo Molecular Pumps (TMP’s) for the upstream volume. In each solution, TMP’s are used for each of the four DMS regions. Cryogenic Vacuum Pumping is also considered to supplement the upstream portion of the VVS. The capacity of the Roughing System is reviewed as well. The distribution of the system outgassing is first examined. 2.0 VVS Outgassing Distribution There are several sources of outgassing in the VVS vacuum vessel. These sources are discussed in a previous note [1]. The distribution of the outgassing within the VVS is now considered. The VVS detector total outgassing rate was determined to be 1.0E-2 Torr-L/sec. The upstream portion accounts for 54% of this rate while the downstream side is 46% of the rate.
