  • Experimental Investigations of Using Silica Aerogel
    EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF USING SILICA AEROGEL TO HARVEST UNCONCENTRATED SUNLIGHT IN A SOLAR THERMAL RECEIVER By Nisarg Hansaliya Sungwoo Yang Louie Elliott Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Assistant Professor of Mechanical (Chair) Engineering (Co-Chair) Prakash Damshala Professor (Committee Member) EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF USING SILICA AEROGEL TO HARVEST UNCONCENTRATED SUNLIGHT IN A SOLAR THERMAL RECEIVER By Nisarg Hansaliya A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Science: Engineering The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee December 2019 ii ABSTRACT Significant demand exists for solar thermal heat in the mid-temperature ranges (120 oC – 220 oC). Generating heat in this range requires expensive optics or vacuum systems in order to utilize the diluted solar energy flux reaching the earth’s surface. Current flat plate solar collectors have significant heat losses and achieving higher temperatures without using concentrating optics remains a challenge. In this work, we designed a prototype flat plate collector using silica- aerogel. Optically Transparent Thermally Insulating silica aerogel with its high transmittance and low thermal conductivity is used as a volumetric shield. The prototype collector was subjected to ambient testing conditions during the months of winter. The collector reached the temperatures of 220 oC and a future prototype design is proposed to incorporate large aerogel monoliths for scaled up applications. This work opens up possibilities solar energy being harnessed in intermediate temperature range using a non-concentrated flat plate collector. iii DEDICATION This is dedicated to all the mentors, professors and teachers I have had the privilege to learn from.

  • Theoretical Study of the Flow in a Fluid Damper Containing High Viscosity
    Theoretical study of the flow in a fluid damper containing high viscosity silicone oil: effects of shear-thinning and viscoelasticity Alexandros Syrakosa,∗, Yannis Dimakopoulosa, John Tsamopoulosa aLaboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Rheology, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece Abstract The flow inside a fluid damper where a piston reciprocates sinusoidally inside an outer casing containing high-viscosity silicone oil is simulated using a Finite Volume method, at various excitation frequencies. The oil is modelled by the Carreau-Yasuda (CY) and Phan-Thien & Tanner (PTT) constitutive equations. Both models account for shear-thinning but only the PTT model accounts for elasticity. The CY and other gener- alised Newtonian models have been previously used in theoretical studies of fluid dampers, but the present study is the first to perform full two-dimensional (axisymmetric) simulations employing a viscoelastic con- stitutive equation. It is found that the CY and PTT predictions are similar when the excitation frequency is low, but at medium and higher frequencies the CY model fails to describe important phenomena that are predicted by the PTT model and observed in experimental studies found in the literature, such as the hysteresis of the force-displacement and force-velocity loops. Elastic effects are quantified by applying a decomposition of the damper force into elastic and viscous components, inspired from LAOS (Large Am- plitude Oscillatory Shear) theory. The CY model also overestimates the damper force relative to the PTT, because it underpredicts the flow development length inside the piston-cylinder gap. It is thus concluded that (a) fluid elasticity must be accounted for and (b) theoretical approaches that rely on the assumption of one-dimensional flow in the piston-cylinder gap are of limited accuracy, even if they account for fluid viscoelasticity.

  • Geometry of Thermodynamic Processes
    Article Geometry of Thermodynamic Processes Arjan van der Schaft 1, and Bernhard Maschke 2 1 Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Jan C. Willems Center for Systems and Control, University of Groningen, the Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Univ. Lyon 1, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, CNRS, LAGEP UMR 5007, Villeurbanne, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-50-3633731 Received: date; Accepted: date; Published: date Abstract: Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes. In [3] it was shown how the symplectization of contact manifolds provides a new vantage point; enabling, among others, to switch between the energy and entropy representations of a thermodynamic system. In the present paper this is continued towards the global geometric definition of a degenerate Riemannian metric on the homogeneous Lagrangian submanifold describing the state properties, which is overarching the locally defined metrics of Weinhold and Ruppeiner. Next, a geometric formulation is given of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes, in terms of Hamiltonian dynamics defined by Hamiltonian functions that are homogeneous of degree one in the co-extensive variables and zero on the homogeneous Lagrangian submanifold. The correspondence between objects in contact geometry and their homogeneous counterparts in symplectic geometry, as already largely present in the literature [2,18], appears to be elegant and effective. This culminates in the definition of port-thermodynamic systems, and the formulation of interconnection ports.

  • 179 Design of a Hydraulic Damper for Heavy Machinery
    ANALELE UNIVERSIT ĂłII “EFTIMIE MURGU” RE ŞIłA ANUL XVIII, NR. 1, 2011, ISSN 1453 - 7397 Emil Zaev, Gerhard Rath, Hubert Kargl Design of a Hydraulic Damper for Heavy Machinery A hydraulic unit consisting of an accumulator as energy storage element and an orifice providing friction was designed to damp oscillations of a machine during operation. In the first step, a model for the gas spring was developed from the ideal gas laws for the dimensioning the elements. To model the gas process with a graphical simulation tool it is necessary to find a form of the gas law which can be integrated with a numerical solver, such as Tustin, Runge-Kutta, or other. For simulating the working condition, the model was refined using the van der Waals equations for real gas. A unified model representation was found to be applied for any arbitrary state change. Verifications were made with the help of special state changes, adiabatic and isothermal. After determining the dimensional parameters, which are the accumulator capacity and the orifice size, the operational and the limiting parameters were to be found. The working process of a damper includes the gas pre-charging to a predefined pressure, the nearly isothermal static loading process, and the adiabatic change during the dynamic operation. Keywords : Vibration damping, hydraulic damping, gas laws 1. Introduction Mining Machines, like the ALPINE Miner of the Sandvik company in Fig. 1, are subject to severe vibrations during their operation. Measures for damping are re- quired. Goal of this project was to investigate the potential of damping oscillation using the hydraulic cylinders of the support jacks (Fig.

  • Technical Performance Overview of Bio-Based Insulation Materials Compared to Expanded Polystyrene
    buildings Article Technical Performance Overview of Bio-Based Insulation Materials Compared to Expanded Polystyrene Cassandra Lafond and Pierre Blanchet * Department of Wood and Forest Sciences, Laval University, Québec, QC G1V0A6, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 February 2020; Accepted: 22 April 2020; Published: 26 April 2020 Abstract: The energy efficiency of buildings is well documented. However, to improve standards of energy efficiency, the embodied energy of materials included in the envelope is also increasing. Natural fibers like wood and hemp are used to make low environmental impact insulation products. Technical characterizations of five bio-based materials are described and compared to a common, traditional, synthetic-based insulation material, i.e., expanded polystyrene. The study tests the thermal conductivity and the vapor transmission performance, as well as the combustibility of the material. Achieving densities below 60 kg/m3, wood and hemp batt insulation products show thermal conductivity in the same range as expanded polystyrene (0.036 kW/mK). The vapor permeability depends on the geometry of the internal structure of the material. With long fibers are intertwined with interstices, vapor can diffuse and flow through the natural insulation up to three times more than with cellular synthetic (polymer) -based insulation. Having a short ignition times, natural insulation materials are highly combustible. On the other hand, they release a significantly lower amount of smoke and heat during combustion, making them safer than the expanded polystyrene. The behavior of a bio-based building envelopes needs to be assessed to understand the hygrothermal characteristics of these nontraditional materials which are currently being used in building systems.

  • Don't Let Dollars Disappear up Your Chimney!
    ENERGY SAVINGTIPS DON’T LET DOLLARS DISAPPEAR UP YOUR CHIMNEY! You wouldn’t leave a window wide open in cold weather. Having a fireplace with an open flue damper is the same as having a window open. That sends precious winter heat and money right up the chimney! Here’s how you can heat your home, and not the neighborhood! KEEP THE FIREPLACE DAMPER CLOSED WHEN THE FIREPLACE IS NOT BEING USED The damper is a flap inside the chimney or flue. It has an open and a closed position. When a fire is burning, the damper should be in the open position to allow smoke to escape up the fireplace flue and out the chimney. When you’re not using the fireplace, the damper should be closed. If you can’t see the handle or chain that opens and closes the damper, use a flashlight and look up inside the chimney flue. The handle could be a lever that moves side to side or back and forth. If a chain operates the damper, you may have to pull both sides to determine which one closes or opens the damper. KEEP YOUR HEAT IN YOUR HOME! Even the most energy efficient homes can fall victim to fireplace air leaks. Your fireplace may be reserved for a handful of special occasions or especially cold nights. When it’s not in use, though, your home loses heat – and costs you money – without you knowing it. Using the heat from your fireplace on a cold winter night may be cozy, but that fire is a very inefficient way to warm up the room.
