  • Investigation on the Mechanism of Heat Load Reduction for the Thermal Anti-Icing System
    energies Article Investigation on the Mechanism of Heat Load Reduction for the Thermal Anti-Icing System Rongjia Li 1, Guangya Zhu 2 and Dalin Zhang 2,* 1 College of Aerospace Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China; [email protected] 2 Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 October 2020; Accepted: 6 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Abstract: The aircraft ice protection system that can guarantee flight safety consumes a part of the energy of the aircraft, which is necessary to be optimized. A study for the mechanism of the heat load reduction in the thermal anti-icing system under the evaporative mode was presented. Based on the relationship between the anti-icing heat load and the heating power distribution, an optimization method involved in the genetic algorithm was adopted to optimize the anti-icing heat load and obtain the optimal heating power distribution. An experiment carried out in an icing wind tunnel was conducted to validate the optimized results. The mechanism of the anti-icing heat load reduction was revealed by analyzing the influences of the key factors, such as the heating range, the surface temperature and the convective heat transfer coefficient. The results show that the reduction in the anti-icing heat load is actually the decrease in the convective heat load. In the evaporative mode, decreasing the heating range outside the water droplet impinging limit can reduce the convective heat load. Evaporating the runback water in the high-temperature region can lead to the less convective heat load.

    LATENT HEAT TRANSPORT AND MICROLAYER EVAPORATION IN NUCLEATE BOILING H H Jawurek UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LATENT HEAT TRANSPORT AND MICROLAYER EVAPORATION IN NUCLEATE BOILING H H JAWUREK A Thesis Presented in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy- August 1977 (ü) DECLARATION BY CANDIDATE I, Harald Hans Jawurek hereby declare that this thesis is my own work and that the material presented herein has not been submitted for any degree at any other university. (iü) ABSTRACT Part 1 of this work provides a broad overview and, where possible, a quantitative assessment of the complex physical processes which together constitute the mechanism of nucleate boiling heat transfer. It is shown that under a wide range of conditions the primary surface-to-liquid heat flows within an area of bubble influence are so redistributed as to manifest themselves predominantly as latent heat transport, that is, as vaporisation into attached bubbles. This and related findings are applied in the derivation of a new pool boiling heat transfer correlation. The correla- tion allows the prediction of boiling curves (q/A versus AT) at any pressure provided that one boiling curve for the same surface-liquid combination is. available as a reference. Part 2 deals in greater detail with one of the component processes of latent heat transport, namely microlayer evapora- tion. A literature review reveals the need for synchronised records of microlayer geometry versus time and of normal bubble growth and departure. An apparatus developed to pro- vide such records is described. High-speed cine interference photography from beneath and through a transparent heating surface provided details of microlayer geometry and an image- reflection system synchronised these records with the bubble profile views.

It also has enormous implications on the architecture of a distribution network. Firstly, the thermal comfort model of the human body was established to analyze the comfortable body temperature of a main crowd under different temperatures and levels of humidity. Secondly, it analyzed the influence factors of electric heating load, and from the perspective of meteorological factors, it selected the difference between human thermal comfort temperature and actual temperature and humidity by gray correlation analysis. Finally, the attention mechanism was utilized to promote the precision of combined adjunction model, and then the data results of the predicted electric heating load were obtained. In the verification, the measured data of electric heating load in a certain area of eastern Inner Mongolia were used. The results showed that after considering the input vector with most relative factors such as temperature and human thermal comfort, the LSTM network can realize the accurate prediction of the electric Citation: Sun, J.; Wang, J.; Sun, Y.; Xu, M.; Shi, Y.; Liu, Z.; Wen, X.

  • Thermal Characterization of a Heat Transport System for Satellite Application
    Proceedings of the 2nd World Congress on Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer (MHMT’17) Barcelona, Spain – April 6 – 8, 2017 Paper No. ICHTD 105 ISSN: 2371-5316 DOI: 10.11159/ichtd17.105 Thermal Characterization of a Heat Transport System for Satellite Application Paul Knipper, Sebastian Meinicke, Thomas Wetzel Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Kaiserstraße 12, Karlsruhe, Germany [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract - This contribution presents an approach for a mathematical model which is based on a detailed experimental characterization of a heat transport system as used in common satellite applications. The heat transported is being emitted from the electrical consumers inside the satellite. The present heat transport system consists of two loop heat pipes (LHP), which transport the heat obtained from four arterial heat pipes (AHP) to the heat sink outside the satellite using ammonia as a working fluid. Due to non- constant operation parameters, e.g. the thermal load and temperature of the heat sink, unwanted oscillations of the saturation temperature can be observed, which have a great impact on the operation temperature of the electrical consumers. In order to eliminate these oscillations and to ensure an optimal operation temperature an additional heat source, e.g. a heating film located on the compensation chamber of the LHPs, is being introduced into the system. This approach requires a fundamental knowledge of the thermal characteristics as well as a reliable control of the heating film. Therefore a mathematical model has been set up based on available concepts in literature and validated using experimental data from a novel test facility.

  • Investigation of a Root Zone Heating System for Greenhouse Seedling and Its Effects on Micro-Environment
    November, 2020 Int J Agric & Biol Eng Open Access at https://www.ijabe.org Vol. 13 No.6 47 Investigation of a root zone heating system for greenhouse seedling and its effects on micro-environment Fen He1,2, Yong Hou1,2, Kai Li1,2, Xiaoming Wei1,2,3*, Yaqing Liu1,2 (1. Academy of Agricultural Planning and Engineering, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Beijing 100125, China; 2. Key Laboratory of Farm Building in Structure and Construction, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Beijing 100125, China; 3. Beijing Research Center of Intelligent Equipment for Agriculture, Beijing 100097, China) Abstract: Under the extremely cold climatic condition, crops have to survive severe heat stress conditions, even if they are being kept in greenhouses. In the winter and spring of North China, the air and soil temperature is low inside the greenhouse, and when using a traditional heating system, the energy consumption is high. This paper reports on a study of different design solutions for a root zone heating system based on a kind of low temperature radiation material. Root zone heating systems offer increasing crop quality and productivity. A novel type of heat preservation and root zone heating system was applied in greenhouse seedling. And through multiple experiments, the effect of the root zone heating system on the ambient environment and seedbed surface was studied, and the heat preservation effect and heating uniformity were discussed. Results show that single-layer film covering on the root zone heating system can make the average temperature at night increase 1°C. And the average seedbed surface and substrate temperature can increase 11.3°C and 5.2°C, respectively.
