Through the establishment of infrared thermal imaging testing system, this paper studies its detection effect on defects with different diameter, depth and diameter-to-depth ratio, processes the image sequence by using principal component analysis (PCA) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithms, and finally calculates and compares the processed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

The aim was to achieve better flow homogeneity in the cross-section of the precipitator compared to the original design. Additional constraints were to maintain the minimum as possible overall weight of the proposed design as well as pressure drop through the precipitator. Numerical simulations based on Computational Fluid Dynamics were used to investigate dependence of the velocity distribution in the ducts and precipitator?s chamber with respect to the geometrical parameters of tested concepts of turning blades. A series of 22 detailed full-scale numerical models of the precipitator with different concepts of turning vanes designs were developed. Assessment of the flow field uniformity for each tested design was performed based on the analysis of several homogeneity parameters calculated for selected vertical cross-sections of the precipitator. After the reconstruction according to optimized design, results of measurements confirmed significant improvements of the velocity distribution in the vertical cross-sections of the precipitator, increase of dedusting efficiency and reduction of PM emission.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68246792","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}

This study focuses on an UTES (Underground Thermal Energy Storage) system that was modeled for Van Region, using M-file program. The performance of an isolated day heat system as a TES was investigated, and the thermal energy storage capacity of the system was researched for a 5x5x5 m soil area located on the Van Yuzuncu Yil University Campus. The temperature distribution, heat loss, and efficiency calculations were performed for a complete year and 3D representations of the findings were obtained. The lowest efficiencies were observed in May, while the highest efficiencies were observed in July.

A cylindrical insulated storage tank in the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit is filled with spherical capsules separately which contains phase change material (PCM) as paraffin wax and stearic acid. The PCM usage has the benefits that it can be used as a thermal management tool and it reduces the cost and size of the system as it offers higher isothermal behavior and thermal storage capacity. The thermal conductivity of heat transfer fluid (HTF) can be enhanced by using nanoparticles mixed in water. Nanofluids are the more efficient fluids for the applications of heat-transfer. The water based nanofluids are used to transfer heat between the solar collector and storage tank which is a sensible heat storage material. The HTF materials are varied and Experimental trials have been conducted separately. Experimentation was carried out First by considering only water as HTF and is extended by adding water with one of the Nanomaterials- i.e.TiO2 and CuO, each in 3 HTF volume % as 0.2, 0.5 & 0.8. The variable source of heat supply considered is Solar flat plate collector. The study was transpired by varying the flow rates of nanofluids as 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 l/min. The novelty of this work is to envisage the enhancement of heat transfer and to study the effects on the melting time of the PCMs of these fluids which were carried out. The performance parameters like charging time and system efficiency, instantaneous stored heat, cumulative stored heat were studied for the different HTFs and for the PCMs-paraffin and stearic acid. The batch wise process experiments for Discharging were carried out to recover the heat stored, and the results are presented.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68250721","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}

In addition, the effects of pulverized coal combined O2/N2 and pulverized coal mixed O2/CO2 combustion on the velocity field, temperature field, material component, and NOx concentration distribution in the furnace are investigated concerning the changes of kinetic parameters of CaCO3 decomposition under different working conditions. Compared with the O2/N2 atmosphere, the temperature distribution in the high-temperature zone of the decomposition furnace is more uniform under the O2/CO2 atmosphere. The temperature range is reduced in the area of extremely high temperatures. The NOx concentration at the decomposition furnace exit is reduced by 37%. The high concentration of CO2 at the output can be recycled and reused to reduce the greenhouse effect effectively. In addition, the high CO2 partial pressure increases the exit temperature by 111 K, doubles the O2 concentration, but decreases the raw meal decomposition rate from 95.9% to 82.2%.

In addition, compared to hydrophilic condition, Heat flux of cubic micro-pillar surface with hydrophobic wettability increased by 98.3%. This is because hydrophobic wettability influenced nucleation site density, vapor-liquid flow field and heat transfer performance much more than cubic shaped geometry.
