Isobaric and adiabatic mixing (p=const, rt=const) 5 /26 ISOBARIC COOLING 6 /26 If vertical movement in the atmosphere is insignificant and a departure from the initial state is small, processes can be seen as isobaric processes. If there is no condensation, the First Law of thermodynamics is: δq = dh = cpdT cp takes a value for the moist air cp=cpd(1+0.87rv), but can also be approximated by its dry air cpd. If the air is cooled, the relative humidity (f) will increase: e r f = ≅ v es (T ) rvs ( p,T ) rv does not change; temperature is decreasing therefore the saturated water vapor pressure (es) decreases and because the process is isobaric (p=const) the same is true for rs. Cooling leads to the saturation (f=1) and then condensation starts. 7 /26 DEW POINT TEMPERATURE - TD The dew point Td is defined as that temperature to which the system must be cooled isobarically to achieve saturation The dew point temperature is unchanged during the isobaric process without condensation. o If saturation occurs below 0 C, that temperature is the frost point Tf . 8 /26 The dew point temperature is defined as: e=es(Td) lub rv=rs(Td), where e is the actual pressure of water vapor in the air at temperature T, rv=const is the actual mixing ratio. ⎛ L ⎛ 1 1 ⎞ ⎞ e e exp lv Td can be calculated from equation: = s,tr ⎜ ⎜ − ⎟ ⎟ ⎝ Rv ⎝ Ttr Td ⎠ ⎠ The frost point temperature: ⎛ ⎛ ⎞ ⎞ Liv 1 1 e = es,tr exp⎜ − ⎟ R ⎜ T T ⎟ Tf : e=esi(Tf) lub rv=rsi(Tf) ⎝ v ⎝ tr f ⎠ ⎠ TODO 1 (lecture 8) For given T and rv calculate Td and Tf Show that for negative temperatures Td<Tf Fig. 6.1 C&W 9 /26 The dew point temperature unit is Kelvin. The dew point temperature is not a measure of temperature, but a es(T) measure of humidity in the air (relative humidity, f) . We will integrate the Clousius-Clapeyron equation between temperatures T and Td ( at temperature T the saturated water vapor e=es(Td) pressure is es(T), at temperature Td the saturated wapor pressure is equal to the actual pressure of water vapor in the air e=es(Td)): Td T TODO 2 (lecture 8) dp Llv p d ln p Llv ⎛ d ln p Llv ⎞ = 2 ⇒ = 2 ⎜ = 2 ⎟ dT RvT dT RvT ⎝ dTd RvTd ⎠ Plot f(T-Td) for different T e d L temperatures. dln p = lv dT ∫ ∫ R T 2 Fig. 6.2 C&W es T v L ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ e ⎞ lv 1 1 ln = ln f = − We assume Llv=const .

First Law of thermodynamics : dh = dq + vdp Enthalpy for two-component system: dh = cpdT + Llvdrv For isobabaric process dp=0: dh = dq dq = cpdT + Llvdrv Let’s assume that condensation occurs always at saturation state (f=1) , therefore § the mixing ratio is equal to its value at saturation state (rv=rs), § rt=rs+rl. In a closed system rt does not change, i.e. drt=0 , and drl=-drs . Let’s calculate the amount of water drl , that condenses during isobaric cooling: es rs = ε ε ε L e ε 2 L e p dr = −dr = − de = − lv s dT = − lv s dT l s s 2 2 de L e p p RvT pRdT s lv s = 2 dT RvT Rd Rv = ε 12 /26 In the First Law equation for an isobaric process dq = cpdT + Llvdrv 2 ε Llves § we express drv as a function of dT (see previous slide): drv = −drl = 2 dT pRdT to find how the temperature changes if heat dq is added: ! 2 2 $ ε Llves δq = #cp + 2 &dT " pRdT % Before condensation occurs dq =cpdT. After condensation starts the temperature decreases slower in response to isobaric cooling. It is due to the release of latent heat of condensation. δq dT = 2 2 ε Llves cp + 2 pRdT 13 /26 In the First Law of thermodynamics for isobaric process dq = cpdT + Llvdrv § we express dT as a function of drv (see previous slide): 2 pRdT dT = − 2 drl ε Llves to find how much heat should be taken out of the system to condense a given amount of water drl. 2 pRdT δq = −cp 2 drl − Llvdrl ε Llves " ε 2L e % dr lv s q l = −$ 2 2 2 'δ # cp pRdT +ε Llves & The relation must be integrated numerically, because es depends on temperature. 14 /26 Once condensation begins, the dew-point temperature descreases, since the water vapor mixing ratio is decreasing as the water is condensed. Relative humidity remains constant, at f=1. Isobaric cooling is a primary formation mechanism for certain types of fog and stratus clouds. The equations derived are equally applicable for isobaric heatnig. In this instance, an existing cloud or fog can be dissipated by evaporation that ensues from isobaric heating (e.g. solar radiation). 15 /26 ADIABATIC AND ISOBARIC COOLING AND MOISTENING BY WATER EVAPORATION 16 /26 WET-BULB TEMPERATURE, TW Consider a system composed of unsaturated moist air plus rain falling through the air. Because the air is undersaturated, the rain will evaporate. If there is no external heat sources (Dq=0), and the evaporation occurs isobarically (dp=0), the enthalpy is conserved (dh=0): the water vapor content (dr ) chenges by dh = 0 = c dT + L dr = c dT - L dr v p lv v p lv l evaporation of liquid water (-drl) cp=cpd(1+0.87rv) or can be approximated as the dry-air value cpd If we allow just enough liquid water from the rain to evaporate so that the air becomes (rv=rs), we can integrate the : § from the state where there is rl of liquid water at temperature T § to the state where all liquid water evaporates (rl=0) and the temperature decreased to Tw: Tw 0 c dT = L dr p ò ò lv l T rl rl is the amount of water that must be evaporated to bring the air to saturation at temperature Tw. 17 /26 During the evaporation process, latent heat is drown from the atmosphere, and the final temperature, referred to as the wet-bulb temperature, Tw , is cooler than the original temperature. The wet bulb temperature – temperature to which air may be cooled by evaporating water into it at constant pressure, until saturation is reached. Tw 0 c dT = L dr p ∫ ∫ lv l T rl c T T L r , r r (T ) r p ( w − ) = − lv l l = s w − v L T T lv r (T ) r w = − ⎣⎡ s w − v ⎦⎤ cp Temperature dependence of L(T) has been neglected. Given rv and T, this expression is implicit for Tw and must be solved numerically. However, if T and T are given, then r is easily determined. w v TODO 3 (lecture 8) Calculate Tw for given T and rv or f (relative humidity). 18 /26 The wet bulb temperature Tw is measured with the wet bulb thermometer. It consists of two thermometers one of which is surrounded by a wet cloth and is ventilated. Assman’s psychrometer 19 /26 The wet-bulb temperature in the atmosphere is conservative with respect to evaporation of falling rain. Calculations for given values of T and rv show that Td<Tw<T. e This can be shown graphically. Since e increases while T decreasing during the approach to Tw, the Clausius-Clapeyron diagram looks like: Tw Td T If ice is the evaporating phase, the ice-bulb temperature Ti can be T analogousely determined: L T T iv r (T ) r i = − ⎣⎡ s i − v ⎦⎤ cp It is easily shown that Ti > Tw 20 /26 EQUIVALENT TEMPERATURE TE Equivalent temperature (Te) is defined as the temperature a sample of moist air would attain if all the moisture were condensed out at constant pressure without any heat transfer from/to the environment.

  • 3-1 Adiabatic Compression
    Solution Physics 213 Problem 1 Week 3 Adiabatic Compression a) Last week, we considered the problem of isothermal compression: 1.5 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature 35oC were compressed isothermally from a volume of 0.015 m3 to a volume of 0.0015 m3. The pV-diagram for the isothermal process is shown below. Now we consider an adiabatic process, with the same starting conditions and the same final volume. Is the final temperature higher, lower, or the same as the in isothermal case? Sketch the adiabatic processes on the p-V diagram below and compute the final temperature. (Ignore vibrations of the molecules.) α α For an adiabatic process ViTi = VfTf , where α = 5/2 for the diatomic gas. In this case Ti = 273 o 1/α 2/5 K + 35 C = 308 K. We find Tf = Ti (Vi/Vf) = (308 K) (10) = 774 K. b) According to your diagram, is the final pressure greater, lesser, or the same as in the isothermal case? Explain why (i.e., what is the energy flow in each case?). Calculate the final pressure. We argued above that the final temperature is greater for the adiabatic process. Recall that p = nRT/ V for an ideal gas. We are given that the final volume is the same for the two processes. Since the final temperature is greater for the adiabatic process, the final pressure is also greater. We can do the problem numerically if we assume an idea gas with constant α. γ In an adiabatic processes, pV = constant, where γ = (α + 1) / α.

  • Physiological Equivalent Temperature Index Applied
    The seventh International Conference on Urban Climate, 29 June - 3 July 2009, Yokohama, Japan PHYSIOLOGICAL EQUIVALENT TEMPERATURE INDEX APPLIED TO WIND TUNNEL EROSION TECHNIQUE PICTURES FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF PEDESTRIAN THERMAL COMFORT Alessandra Rodrigues Prata-Shimomura; Leonardo Marques Monteiro; Anésia Barros Frota * *Laboratório de Conforto Ambiental e Eficiência Energética, Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Universidade de São Paulo - LABAUT/FAUUSP, São Paulo, Brazil Abstract The goal of this research was to verify the influence of the effect of the wind on the pedestrians and the applicability of an index of environmental comfort for external spaces, according to data of wind tunnel simulations. The simulations were performed for the case study of Moema, an upper middle class verticalized residential neighbourhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The index used was the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), established specifically for the evaluation of subtropical climates such as the one from the study area. Figures obtained from wind tunnel simulations, using erosion techniques, were used to visualize the field of speed in the level of pedestrian, describing the areas affected by the action of different wind speeds The index was applied on the erosion technique pictures, defining the areas of greater and lesser influence in terms of the effect of wind on the climatic conditions of the site. As a result, one may verify the assessment of the area under study, observing the conditions of comfort and discomfort in light of changes in the values of wind speed. Key words: thermal comfort indices, urban external spaces, wind tunnel simulation 1. INTRODUCTION The metropolitan region of São Paulo has 20 million inhabitants, 11 million of which live within the capital’s boundaries, making it the largest urban agglomeration of South America (Brandão, 2007).

Various indicators can be found in the literature assessing the level of heat stress in pigs, but none of them is specific to assess the sows’ thermal condition. Moreover, previous thermal indices have been developed by considering only partial environment parameters, and the interaction between the index and the animal’s physiological response are not always included. Therefore, this study aims to develop and assess a new thermal index specified for sows, called equivalent temperature index for sows (ETIS), with a comprehensive consideration of the influencing factors. An experiment was conducted, and the experimental Citation: Cao, M.; Zong, C.; Wang, data was applied for model development and validation. The equivalent temperatures have been X.; Teng, G.; Zhuang, Y.; Lei, K. transformed on the basis of equal effects of air velocity, relative humidity, floor heat conduction and Modeling of Heat Stress in indoor radiation on the thermal index, and used for the ETIS combination.

  • The Basis of Wind Chill RANDALL J
    ARCTIC VOL. 48, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 1995) P. 372– 382 The Basis of Wind Chill RANDALL J. OSCZEVSKI1 (Received 21 June 1994; accepted in revised form 16 August 1995) ABSTRACT. The practical success of the wind chill index has often been vaguely attributed to the effect of wind on heat transfer from bare skin, usually the face. To test this theory, facial heat loss and the wind chill index were compared. The effect of wind speed on heat transfer from a thermal model of a head was investigated in a wind tunnel. When the thermal model was facing the wind, wind speed affected the heat transfer from its face in much the same manner as it would affect the heat transfer from a small cylinder, such as that used in the original wind chill experiments carried out in Antarctica fifty years ago. A mathematical model of heat transfer from the face was developed and compared to other models of wind chill. Skin temperatures calculated from the model were consistent with observations of frostbite and discomfort at a range of wind speeds and temperatures. The wind chill index was shown to be several times larger than the calculated heat transfer, but roughly proportional to it. Wind chill equivalent temperatures were recalculated on the basis of facial cooling. An equivalent temperature increment was derived to account for the effect of bright sunshine. Key words: bioclimatology, cold injuries, cold weather, convective heat transfer, face cooling, frostbite, heat loss, survival, wind chill RÉSUMÉ. La popularité de l’indice de refroidissement du vent a souvent été expliquée par le fait qu’on peut la relier plus ou moins à l’effet du vent sur le transfert thermique à partir de la peau nue, le plus souvent celle du visage.

  • 17.Examples of the 1St Law Rev2.Nb
    17. Examples of the First Law Introduction and Summary The First Law of Thermodynamics is basically a statement of Conservation of Energy. The total energy of a thermodynamic system is called the Internal Energy U. A system can have its Internal Energy changed (DU) in two major ways: (1) Heat Q > 0 can flow into the system from the surroundings, in which case the change in internal energy of the system increases: DU = Q. (2) The system can do work W > 0 on the surroundings, in which case the internal energy of the system decreases: DU = - W. Generally, the system interacts with the surroundings by exchanging both heat Q and doing work W, and the internal energy changes DU = Q - W This is the first law of thermodynamics and in it, W is the thermodynamic work done by the system on the surroundings. If the definition of mechanical work W were used instead of W, then the 1st Law would appear DU = Q + W because doing work on the system by the surroundings would increase the internal energy of the system DU = W. The 1st Law is simply the statement that the internal energy DU of a system can change in two ways: through heat Q absorption where, for example, the temperature changes, or by the system doing work -W, where a macroscopic parameter like volume changes. Below are some examples of using the 1st Law. The Work Done and the Heat Input During an Isobaric Expansion Suppose a gas is inside a cylinder that has a movable piston. The gas is in contact with a heat reservoir that is at a higher temperature than the gas so heat Q flows into the gas from the reservoir.
