For the NDWCTs, the water loss of cooling tower mainly includes evaporation loss, windage loss and blowdown loss. Evaporation loss makes up most of the water loss at thermal power plants. For this reason, the study on the prediction of evaporation loss in the NDWCTs lay a theoretical foundation for the thermal power plant to decrease the emission and save water. In the power industry, water is often used as a heat transfer medium to dissipate heat, and in many areas, water has become a scarce resource. How to take measures to reduce or recover water consumption of thermal power plants, many scholars have paid attention to this issue, and achieved remarkable results (Yuan et al., 2019; Bustamante et al., 2016; Wei et al., 2018; Saidi et al., 2010). The application of the direct air-cooled technology in power plants is a key measure to achieve water conservation. Factors such as wind direction, fan performance and blade installation angle have a great influence on the cooling capacity of a direct air-cooled system (Yang et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2019a, 2019b; Zhang et al,. 2018a, 2018b). However, the direct air-cooled systems account for a small part of the cooling towers. Most cooling methods in thermal power plants are wet cooling. Several mathematical models for predicting evaporation loss had been established in the mechanical wet cooling towers. Kairouani constructed a mathematical model for the numerical prediction of the performance of cross flow cooling towers and used this model to predict the thermal behavior of six cooling towers located in the South of Tunisia. It was found that the actual water losses by evaporation represent 4% of the total water flow rate, which corresponds to 106 m per year (Kairouani et al., 2004). Based on ASHRAE’s rule of thumb Qureshi set an empirical formula, and it could accurately predict the evaporation loss of cooling tower (Qureshi et al., 2006; Qureshi et al., 2007).

To resolve the accompanying thermal issues, two-phase microchannel heat exchangers using have emerged as one of the promising solutions for cooling purposes. However, the direct boiling in microchannels and rapid bubble growth give rise to highly unstable heat flux on the channel walls. In this regard, it is hence desired to control the supply of vapor bubbles for the elimination of the instability. In this research, we investigate a controllable bubble generation technique, which is capable of periodically producing bubble seeds at the sub-micron scale. These nanobubbles were generated in a solid-state nanopore filled with a highly concentrated electrolyte solution. As an external electric field was applied, the localized Joule heating inside the nanopore initiated the homogeneous bubble nucleation. The bubble dynamics was analyzed by measuring the ionic current variation through the nanopore during the bubble nucleation and growth. Meanwhile, we theoretically examined the bubble growth and collapse inside the nanopore by a moving boundary model. In both approaches, we demonstrated that by altering the pore size, the available sensible heat for the bubble growth can be manipulated, thereby offering the controllability of the bubble size. This unique characteristic renders nanopores suitable as a nanobubble emitter for microchannel heat exchangers, paving the way for the next generation microelectronic cooling applications.","PeriodicalId":17405,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66342422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An ion-current sensor integrated in an ignition system is used for accurately detecting knocking cycles. First, the problem for accurate knocking detection with an ion-current sensor was clarified in the test engine. The oscillation in the ion-current signal was observed in knocking cycles as is commonly known in the previous research. However, heavy oscillation in the ion-current signal can be observed occasionally even in the small knocking cycles. This phenomenon leads to the misdetection of knocking cycles with the conventional signal-processing method, which defines the oscillation intensity of the change amount in the ion-current signal as a knocking indicator. Second, to solve the problem mentioned above, a new signal-processing method is proposed on the basis of the thermal characteristics of ion-current signals. This method defines the oscillation intensity of the “normalized ion-signal change rate” as a knock indicator in order to suppress the effect of temperature dependency in ion-current signals. Finally, the proposed method was applied to an actual gasoline engine, and the knocking detection performance was evaluated. The method enabled the misdetection of the knocking cycles to be avoided and enhanced the correlation factor with knock intensity compared with the conventional method. vibration sensor equipped on the engine block. Yang et al. (2010) developed a signal-processing method to detect the low intensity vibration from short data series, on the basis of kurtosis of vibration intensity. Momeni et al.

Among them, this paper focuses on the CHF enhancement using a honeycomb porous plate (HPP). The HPP, which is commercially available, was generally used to filter exhaust gases from combustion engines, and has micron-order pores and millimeter-order holes which is called as a “cell”. Once an HPP was installed on the heated surface, the CHF in saturated pool boiling of water was improved more than approximately three times compared with a bare surface. The enhancement may be caused by: (1) the liquid supply due to capillarity, (2) liquid flowing down through the cells of an HPP due to gravity onto the heated surface, and (3) the release of vapor generated through the cells. However, the liquid supply process to heated surface due to (1) and (2) has not been clarified yet. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the detailed liquid supply mechanism for further CHF enhancement. In the present paper, two separate sets of experiments have been designed to investigate the liquid supply effect to the heated surface independently, namely, (1) automatic liquid supply due to capillary action by the porous part and (2) bulk liquid flowing down through the cells of an HPP. In summary, the measured values from the experiment extracting the liquid supply due to capillarity were in good agreement with the proposed capillary limit model. Moreover, for the high heat flux region (more than 3.5 MW/m2), the liquid supply due to the capillary force is dominant in enhancing the CHF. It was concluded that the keys to further CHF enhancement were the promotion of gas-liquid circulation based on the capillary limit model and improvement of wickability of the heated surface.","PeriodicalId":17405,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66344637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it is significant to understand the characteristics of dynamic behavior of hydrogen/air premixed flames and to elucidate the effects of addition of inert gas, i.e. carbon dioxide CO 2 and water vapor H 2 O. We performed the experiments of hydrogen explosion in two types of closed chambers to observe spherically expanding flames using Schlieren photography. Wrinkles on the flame surface were clearly observed in low equivalence ratios. Analyzing the Schlieren images, the flame propagation velocity depending on the flame radius was obtained. Increasing the addition of inert gas, the propagation velocity decreased, especially in the case of CO 2 addition. The propagation velocity increased monotonically as the flame radius became larger. The appearance of flame acceleration was found, which was caused by the evolution of wrinkles on the flame surface. Moreover, the Markstein length decreased as the concentration of inert gas became higher, indicating that the addition of inert gas promoted the instability of hydrogen flames. Furthermore, the wrinkling factor, closely related with the increment in propagation velocity, decreased as the inert-gas concentration became higher. The wrinkling factor normalized by the propagation velocity of flat flame increased, on the other hand, under the conditions of high inert-gas concentration, except for near the quenching conditions. This indicated that the addition of CO 2 or H 2 O promoted the unstable motion of hydrogen flames, which could be due to the enhancement of the diffusive-thermal effect. Based on the characteristics of dynamic behavior of hydrogen flames, the parameters used in the mathematical model on propagation velocity including flame acceleration was obtained, and then the flame propagation velocity under various conditions was predicted.
