We developed a novel method to visualize the distribution of skin contact temperatures (T<ce:inf loc=\"post\">SC</ce:inf>), a task that was previously hindered by concealed contact areas. Thermographic images of heated thin solid plates and regression analyses established between measured temperatures from both sides of the plates were used to reconstruct T<ce:inf loc=\"post\">SC</ce:inf> maps. This approach accommodated plates made of indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, copper, and fabric along with porcine skin as a substitute for human skin. Human finger experiments with mildly heated ITO glass were conducted to bridge the gap between laboratory simulations and practical scenarios. Spatiotemporal mapping of T<ce:inf loc=\"post\">SC</ce:inf> unveiled localized hotspots, spatial gradients, and dynamic changes, highlighting the thermal stimulus area as well as the onset, intensity, and duration of pain sensation. The surface temperatures and thermophysical characteristics of both bodies in contact determine these patterns. Fabric's pain onset lagged behind ITO glass and copper. These findings have broad implications from shaping thermal safety protocols to advancing thermal tactile sensing for applications encompassing human–robot interactions, haptics, and electronic skins.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 addresses this gap by conducting an experimental study on a newly developed MTEC-based turbo-refrigerator prototype for ultralow-temperature freezing down to −120 °C. The prototype was tested at charge pressures ranging from 249.3 to 438.1 kPa and at different heat loads and at a maintained input power level. Test results indicate the effect of charge pressure on both compressor and expander efficiencies are negligible, whereas both the MTEC's additional efficiency and recuperator effectiveness exhibit a significant increase with increasing charge pressure. The increase in the recuperator effectiveness mitigates the decline in relative Carnot efficiency accounting for no additional losses with increasing charge pressure. Combined with the increased additional efficiency, this results in the net relative Carnot efficiency being only slightly affected by changes in charge pressure. Nevertheless, a slight peak net Carnot efficiency of 9.8 % corresponding to a test charge pressure of 294.6 kPa was noted for the presented prototype. When heat load levels are considered together, changing charge pressure has a greater effect on the relative Carnot efficiency at lower heat loads.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This investigation is done for Richardson numbers (<ce:italic>Ri</ce:italic>) = 0.1 to 1, solid nanoparticle volume fraction (<ce:italic>φ</ce:italic>) = 0 to 0.6 and for three shapes of fractal barrier in the two-dimensional (2D) cavity. The results of this research show that the presence of an obstacle with a special shape causes the components of the flow paths, creates weaker vortices in parts of the cavity and finally increases the contact of the fluid with hot surfaces. The behavior of the flow lines in the cavity is affected by two main stimulating factors. The main factor in the movement of the flow is the mobility of the cap (lid-driven), which, as a result, due to the viscosity of the fluid, the layered transfer of movement continues to the lower layers of the fluid. This factor forces the flow field to move. An increase in <ce:italic>Ri</ce:italic> increases the speed of the cap, which will result in better heat penetration and mixing between the fluid layers in different parts of the cavity. If this is accompanied by an increase in the disturbance of the flow due to the presence of obstacles, it will have a greater effect on the uniform temperature distribution. It seems that in addition to the forced convection, the conduction mechanism will also play a significant role in heat distribution. Adding solid nanoparticles in a higher <ce:italic>φ</ce:italic>, this behavior makes the heat distribution uniform to a small extent. Moreover, changing the shape of the fractal barrier will cause changes in fluid circulation behavior and reduce the slope of constant temperature lines. The thermal conductivity of the fluid will also improve through the addition of solid nanoparticles and consequently, the local Nusselt number (<ce:italic>Nu</ce:italic>) increases. Changes in the average Nusselt number at Ri = 0.1 in different volume fractions and for the cases studied can cause an increase in the Nusselt number between 10 and 16 percent. The above behavior for Ri = 1 improves the Nusselt number by less than 13 percent and for Ri = 10 this is less than 4 percent.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing palm oil flow from 60 ml/min to 120 ml/min significantly increased the spray angle from 1.8° to 21° while average droplet diameter reduced from 665 μm to 148 μm. Minimum CO emissions in the range of 132–135 ppm for diesel and biodiesel were achieved due to their better atomization compared to palm oil which resulted in slightly higher value of 207 ppm. The opposite effect was observed for NOx emissions where it elevated at the higher combustion temperature, where all the fuels showed comparable values in the range of 32–39 ppm.

Solar pasteurization facilitates localized milk processing, thereby reducing milk loss during transit. This system consists of a solar heating loop, a pasteurization loop, and a solar cooling loop utilizing an absorption chiller (heat pump). An extensive experimental study is conducted to assess the energy and exergy efficiency of system. A parametric analysis and numerical model utilizing TRNSYS software are conducted to determine the dimensions of the solar heating and cooling loops, as well as to evaluate heat transfer within the pasteurizer and the energy performance. An economic analysis is conducted to enhance the profitability of the hybrid solar/gas pasteurization system. The findings indicate that the regeneration rate for heating and cooling is 76 %. The heat loss in the pasteurizer is approximated at 2 % of the total energy utilized for heating or cooling. The actual specific heat requirement for milk pasteurization is estimated at 53 kJ/kg.

Understanding the adhesion mechanisms of surface ice and the fracture and separation mechanisms of ice accretion is fundamental to de-icing operations and the design of surfaces with anti-icing functionalities. While the toughness and fracture mechanisms of ice accretion have been extensively studied, there is a lack of research focusing on the stress- and toughness-driven fracture and separation mechanisms at the ice-substrate interface. This study combines experimental research, numerical simulations, and mechanistic analysis to investigate the interfacial fracture mechanism during the tensile separation of cylindrical ice accretions on aluminum alloy surfaces. Experimental results reveal that surface roughness is directly proportional to adhesion strength, while adhesion strength is inversely proportional to the contact area under the same roughness. A cohesive zone model (CZM) is employed to analyze the micro-scale stress and deformation of ice fracture. By integrating experimental data with numerical simulations, the influence mechanisms of surface roughness and contact area on ice adhesion strength are elucidated.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
