Heat and Mass Transfer for a Nanofluid Flow in Fluidized Bed Dryer in Presence of Induced Magnetic Field

This research entails the study of heat and mass transfer of nanofluid flow in a fluidized bed dryer used in tea drying processes in presence of induced magnetic field. A mathematical model describing the fluid flow in a Fluidized bed dryer was developed using the nonlinear partial differential equations. Due to their non-linearity, the equations were solved numerically by use of the finite difference method. The effects of physical flow parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration and magnetic induction profiles were studied and results were presented graphically. From the mathematical analysis, it was deduced that addition of silver nanoparticles into the fluid flow enhanced velocity and temperature profiles. This led to improved heat transfer in the fluidized bed dryer, hence amplifying the tea drying process. Furthermore, it was noted that induced magnetic field tends to decrease the fluid velocity, which results in uniform distribution of heat leading to efficient heat transfer between the tea particles and the fluid, thus improving the drying process. The research findings provide information to industries on ways to optimize thermal performance of fluidized bed dryers.

Geologic-Geophysical Indicators of the Deep Structure of Zones of Geothermal Anomalies for Allocation of Channels of the Deep Heat and Mass Transfer

On the basis of the analysis of field thermogeochemical data along abnormal zones of a thermal stream in the Bukhara-Khiva, oil-and-gas region of the Turan (Tegermen, Chagakul, Shimoly Alat, Beshtepa) was succeeded to obtain important data on a deep structure of sites. Data of gas-chemical and geothermal observations show about confinedness of abnormal concentration of methane to zones of the increased values of the temperature field the measured values of temperatures (Tegermen Square and others). On geoelectric section mines 2-D of inversion of the MT-field depth of 4000 m are lower, among very high-resistance the chemogenic and carbonate deposits of the Paleozoic is traced the subvertical carrying-out abnormal zone. This zone is identified as the channel of a deep heat and mass transfer with which hydrocarbon (HC) deposits are connected. It is shown that electro-investigation when using a geophysical complex can and has to become “advancing” at exploration by oil and gas.

Sound Source Localisation for a High-Speed Train and Its Transfer Path to Interior Noise

Noise is one of the key issues in the operation of high-speed railways, with sound source localisation and its transfer path as the two major aspects. This study investigates both the exterior and interior sound source distribution of a high-speed train and presents a method for performing the contribution analysis of airborne sound with regard to the interior noise. First, both exterior and interior sound source locations of the high-speed train are identified through in-situ measurements. Second, the sound source contribution for di erent regions of the train and the relationships between the exterior and interior noises are analysed. Third, a method for conducting the contribution analysis of airborne sound with regard to the interior noise of the high-speed train is described. Lastly, a case study on the sidewall area is carried out, and the contribution of airborne sound to the interior noise of this area is obtained. The results show that, when the high-speed train runs at 310 km/h, dominant exterior sound sources are located in the bogie and pantograph regions, while main interior sound sources are located at the sidewall and roof. The interior noise, the bogie area noise and the sound source at the middle of the coach exhibit very similar rates of increase with increasing train speed. For the selected sidewall area, structure-borne sound dominates in most of the 1/3 octave bands.

Magnetic Field Effect and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids within Waveform Microchannel

In this research,a numerical study of mixed convection of non-Newtonian fluid and magnetic field effect along a vertical wavy surface was investigated.A simple coordinate transformation to transform wavy surface to a flat surface is employed.A cubic spline collocation numerical method is employed to analyze transformed equations.The effect of various parameters such as Reynolds number,volume fraction 0-,Hartmann number,and amplitude of wave length was evaluated in improving the performance of a wavy microchannel.According to the presented results,the sinusoidal shape of the microchannel has a direct impact on heat transfer.By increasing the microchannel wave amplitude,the Nusselt number has risen.On the other hand,increasing the heat transfer in the higher wavelength ratio corrugated channel is seen as an effective method of increasing the heat transfer,especially at higher Reynolds numbers.The results showed that with increasing Hartmann numbers,the flow line near thewall becomesmore regular and,according to the temperature gradient created,theNusselt number growth.

Significantly enhanced charge transfer efficiency and surface reaction on NiP_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

In this work,a novel NiP_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)heterojunction via homogeneous precipitation method assisted by thermal phosphorization reaction was designed and constructed,and the optimized sample showed the excellent photocatalytic H_(2)evolution activity under visible-light irradiation,which was nearly 112 times higher than that of pristine g-C_(3)N_(4)sample.Experimental characterizations and DFT calculations demonstrated that the NiP_(2)nanoparticles covered on the g-C_(3)N_(4)surface can form a built-in electric field at the interface to accelerate the transfer of photoexcited electrons from g-C_(3)N_(4)to NiP_(2),crucial for hindering the recombination of electron-hole pairs.Moreover,the energy barrier of hydrogen evolution reaction can also vastly reduce when combined NiP_(2)and g-C_(3)N_(4)to construct NiP_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)heterojunction.This work represents a method through combing experimental and theoretical tools to thoroughly investigate the mechanism of photocatalytic process.

An Investigation into the Influence of the Airflow Path on the Convective Heat Transfer for an Eddy Current Retarder Turntable

In order to improve the convective heat transfer relating to an eddy current retarder,the finite element model has been used to assess the performances of different possible designs.In particular,assuming the steady running state of retarder as the working condition,flow and temperature fields have been obtained for the rotor.The influence of airflow path on heat dissipation has been analysed,and the influence of the temperature field distribution on the performance of retarder has been discussed accordingly.The results show that when the steady running state of the turntable is considered,the maximum temperature is lower,the level of turbulence flow is mitigated,and the temperature distribution becomes more regular.These factors contribute to improve the heat dissipation ability of the retarder.

Transfer-Learning for Automated Seizure Detection Based on Electric Field Encephalography Reconstructed Signal

Building an automatic seizure onset prediction model based on multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG) signals has been a hot topic in computer science and neuroscience field for a long time. In this research, we collect EEG data from different epilepsy patients and EEG devices and reconstruct and combine the EEG signals using an innovative electric field encephalography (EFEG) method, which establishes a virtual electric field vector, enabling extraction of electric field components and increasing detection accuracy compared to the conventional method. We extract a number of important features from the reconstructed signals and pass them through an ensemble model based on support vector machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and deep neural network (DNN) classifiers. By applying this EFEG channel combination method, we can achieve the highest detection accuracy at 87% which is 6% to 17% higher than the conventional channel averaging combination method. Meanwhile, to reduce the potential overfitting problem caused by DNN models on a small dataset and limited training patient, we ensemble the DNN model with two “weaker” classifiers to ensure the best performance in model transferring for different patients. Based on these methods, we can achieve the highest detection accuracy at 82% on a new patient using a different EEG device. Thus, we believe our method has good potential to be applied on different commercial and clinical devices.

Bimetal MOF-derived NiFe-P nanocomposites coupled with Cu_(3)P nanoparticles to construct tandem electron transfer channels for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Finely modulated light-induced charge separation and transfer is a central challenge to achieve efficient photocatalysis.Although progress has been made in this field,most of the previous research works focused on the separation or migration of photogenerated carriers but did not build a bridge between the two.How to realize the strong driving and precise migration of carriers has become the focus of our work.We report an ingeniously designed ternary heterojunction.Taking NiFe-MOF as the“parent material”,the FeP_(4)/Ni_(x)P_(y)heterojunction is derived in situ while maintaining the frame structure through gas-solid reaction,and finally the Z-type electron transfer is realized.With Cu_(3)P anchoring spindle matrix,an electron transport tunnel is opened up in Cu_(3)P/FeP_(4)/Ni_(x)P_(y)ternary heterojunction under the action of p-n heterojunction built-in electric field driving and accurate energy band matching.The strong driving force of the built-in electric field provides an inexhaustible power for the transmission of electrons,and the fine series of electron transmission channels realizes the precise transmission of electrons.The above fine design makes the perfect fit between the built-in electric field and the electron transfer channel,which not only effectively improves the embarrassing situation of insufficient electron driving force of hydrogen evolution reaction in the previous research,but also makes up for the weakening of semi-conductor reduction ability caused by the construction of traditional p-n heterostructures.This research work provides a new idea for the construction of multiple heterostructures and the design of fine interface engineering in the future.

A stochastic based approach for a new site classification method:application to the Algerian seismic code

Building codes have widely considered the shear wave velocity to make a reliable subsoil seismic classification, based on the knowledge of the mechanical properties of material deposits down to bedrock. This approach has limitations because geophysical data are often very expensive to obtain. Recently, other alternatives have been proposed based on measurements of background noise and estimation of the H/V amplification curve. However, the use of this technique needs a regulatory framework before it can become a realistic site classification procedure. This paper proposes a new formulation for characterizing design sites in accordance with the Algerian seismic building code (RPA99/ver.2003), through transfer functions, by following a stochastic approach combined to a statistical study. For each soil type, the deterministic calculation of the average transfer function is performed over a wide sample of 1-D soil profiles, where the average shear wave (S-W) velocity, Vs, in soil layers is simulated using random field theory. Average transfer functions are also used to calculate average site factors and normalized acceleration response spectra to highlight the amplification potential of each site type, since frequency content of the transfer function is significantly similar to that of the H/V amplification curve. Comparison is done with the RPA99/ver.2003 and Eurocode8 (EC8) design response spectra, respectively. In the absence of geophysical data, the proposed classification approach together with micro-tremor measures can be used toward a better soil classification.

Uniformity principle of temperature difference field in heat transfer optimization

The uniformity principle of temperature difference field is very useful in heat exchanger analyses and optimizations.In this paper, we analyze some other heat transfer optimization problems in the thermal management system of spacecrafts,including the cooling of thermal components, the one-stream series-wound heat exchanger network, the volume-to-point heat conduction problem, and the radiative heat transfer optimization problem, and have found that the uniformity principle of temperature difference field also holds. When the design objectives under the given constraints are achieved, the distributions of the temperature difference fields are uniform. The principle reflects the characteristic of the distribution of potential in the heat transfer optimization problems. It is also shown that the principle is consistent with the entransy theory. Therefore, although the principle is intuitive and phenomenological, the entransy theory can be the physical basis of the principle.

There are great interests to capture the CO2 to control the greenhouse gas emission.Amine absorption of CO2 is being taken as an effective way to capture CO2 in industry.However,the amine absorption of CO2 is cost-ineffective due to great energy consumption and solution consumption.In order to reduce the capture cost,catalyst fluidization is proposed here to intensify the mass transfer and heat transfer.Catalyst fluidization with field synergy and DFT model is developed by incorporating the effects of catalyst reaction kinetics,drag force and multi-field into the mass transfer,heat transfer,fluid flow and catalyst collision.Experiments with an improved distributor are performed well to validate the model.The reaction kinetics is determined by the DFT simulation and experiment.The mass transfer coefficient in the fluidized reactor is identified as 17%higher than the conventional packed reactor.With the field synergy of catalyst fluidization,the energy consumption for CO2 desorption is reduced by 9%.Stepwise operation and inclination reactor are used to improve catalyst fluidization process.
