导热与弹性系统及导电的相似性

本文将导热系统与弹性力学系统以及带电系统类比,发现这三种不同类型的系统在输运方面具有一致的行为特征,有相同的数学表达方式。都是在强度量的作用下,广延量的输运过程。强度量在被传递的广延量上的累积效果由广义功反映,广义功就是传递过程中的传递能力,传递能力在过程中有损耗。定义了导热过程中的热力功,它等于传热温度与传递的热量的乘积,反映了温度在传热量上的累积效果。热力功是传递中的热量传递势容,总热力功等于系统热量传递势容的改变量,热量传递势容表示物体的导热能力。

导热能力损耗的机理及其数学表述

热量传递势容(势容,又称为火积)反映了物体的导热能力,它等于物体的热容量与温度乘积的一半。提出了热力功的概念,它被定义为传热温度与被传递热量的乘积。传热过程中的热力功等于势容的改变量,热力功就是传递过程中的势容。在导热过程中势容会出现损耗,势容损耗的机理是,传热物体的温度高于吸热物体的温度,传热物体的温度所做的热力功多于吸热物体的温度所做的热力功。导热过程中的势容损耗被定义为传热物体的温度与吸热物体温度的差所做的热力功。单位时间单位体积内的势容损耗等于导热系数与温度梯度平方的乘积,该表达式可作为导热系统优化的目标函数。势容可同时作为热力学中导热过程可逆性的判据。

Cracked elastic substrate strip with functionally graded coating under thermal-mechanical loading

This paper investigates the functionally graded coating bonded to an elastic strip with a crack under thermal- mechanical loading. Considering some new boundary conditions, it is assumed that the temperature drop across the crack surface is the result of the thermal conductivity index which controls heat conduction through the crack region. By the Fourier transforms, the thermal-elastic mixed boundary value problems are reduced to a system of singular integral equations which can be approximately solved by applying the Chebyshev polynomials. The numerical computation methods for the temperature, the displacement field and the thermal stress intensity factors （TSIFs） are presented. The normal temperature distributions （NTD） with different parameters along the crack surface are analyzed by numerical examples. The influence of the crack position and the thermal-elastic non- homogeneous parameters on the TSIFs of modes I and 11 at the crack tip is presented. Results show that the variation of the thickness of the graded coating has a significant effect on the temperature jump across the crack surfaces when keeping the thickness of the substrate constant, and the thickness of functionally graded material （FGM） coating has a significant effect on the crack in the substrate. The results can be expected to be used for the purpose of gaining better understanding of the thermal-mechanical behavior of graded coatings.

Elastic and Thermodynamic Properties of CdSe from First-Principles Calculations

The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, phase transition pressure, and temperature dependencies of the elastic constants cij of CdSe are investigated by using the Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package （CASTEP） program in the frame of Density Functional Theory （DFT）. It is found that the phase transitions from the ZB structure to the RS structure and from WZ structure to RS structure are 2.2 GPa and 2.8 GPa, respectively. Our results agree well with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. The aggregate elastic modulus （B, G, E, A ）, the Poisson＇s ratio （v）, the Griuneisen parameter （γ）, the Debye temperature θD on pressure and temperature are also successfully obtained.

Thermoelastic stresses in a uniformly heated functionally graded isotropic hollow cylinder

The axisymmetric thermoelastic problem of a uniformly heated, functionally graded isotropic hollow cylinder is considered. An analytical form of solution is proposed. For the case when the Young's modulus and thermal expansion coefficient have a power\|law dependence on the radial coordinate, explicit exact solution is obtained. For the degenerated case, i.e. when the cylinder is homogeneous and isotropic, no stresses will occur provided it is subjected to a uniform temperature. Numerical results are finally given and some important inclusions are obtained.

Thermodynamic analysis of simplified dual-pressure ammonia-water absorption power cycle

A simplified dual-pressure ammonia-water absorption power cycle(DPAPC-a) using low grade energy resources is presented and analyzed.This cycle uses turbine exhaust heat to distill the basic solution for desorption.The structure of the cycle is simple which comprises evaporator,turbine,regenerator(desorber),absorber,pump and throttle valves for both diluted solution and vapor.And it is of high efficiency,because the working medium has large temperature difference in evaporation and small temperature difference in absorptive condensation,which can match the sensible exothermal heat resource and the cooling water simultaneously.Orthogonal calculation was made to investigate the influence of the working concentration,the basic concentration and the circulation multiple on the cycle performance,with 85-110 ℃ heat resource and 20-32 ℃ cooling water.An optimum scheme was given in the condition of 110 ℃ sensitive heat resource and 20 ℃ cooling water,with the working concentration of 0.6,basic concentration of 0.385,and circulation multiple of 5.The thermal efficiency and the power recovery efficiency are 8.06 % and 6.66%,respectively.The power recovery efficiency of the DPAPC-a is 28.8% higher than that of the steam Rankine cycle(SRC) and 12.7% higher than that of ORC(R134a) under the optimized situation.

Anomalous Dissipative Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

We investigate the low-temperature statistical properties of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a heat bath, where the low-frequency spectrum vanishes. We obtain the exact result of the zero point energy. Due to the low frequency shortage of environmental oscillators＇ spectral density, the coordinate and momentum correlation functions decay as T^-4 arid T^-6 respectively at zero temperature, where T is the correlation time. The low-temperature behavior of the mean energy does not violate the third law of thermodynamics, but differs largely from the Ohmic spectrum case.

Environmental Challenges to Thermal Power Construction

The paper points out emphatically that the plant site selection of a thermal power project must satisfy various requirements of rules and regulations, development programme and environmental ftmctions, etc. Different criteria of dust, SO2, NOx and other pollutants control are enumerated speeially.

Novel Optimization Approach to Mixing Process Intensification

An approach was presented to intensify the mixing process. Firstly, a novel concept, the dissipation of mass transfer ability(DMA) associated with convective mass transfer, was defined via an analogy to the heat-work conversion. Accordingly, the focus on mass transfer enhancement can be shifted to seek the extremum of the DMA of the system. To this end, an optimization principle was proposed. A mathematical model was then developed to formulate the optimization into a variational problem. Subsequently, the intensification of the mixing process for a gas mixture in a micro-tube was provided to demonstrate the proposed principle. In the demonstration example, an optimized velocity field was obtained in which the mixing ability was improved, i.e., the mixing process should be intensified by adjusting the velocity field in related equipment. Therefore, a specific procedure was provided to produce a mixer with geometric irregularities associated with an ideal velocity.

De Haas-van Alphen Effect of Free Electron Gas Revisited

The free electron gas in a uniform magnetic field at low temperature is restudied. The grand partition function previously obtained by Landau＇s quantitative calculation contains three parts, which are all approximate. An improved calculation is presented, in which two of the three parts are obtained in exact forms. A simple remedy for Landau and Lifshitz＇s qualitative calculation in the textbook is also given, which turns the qualitative result into the same one as obtained by the improved quantitative calculation. The chemical potential is solved approximately and the thermodynamic quantities are caiculated explicitly in both a weak field and a strong field. The thermodynamic quantities in a strong field obtained here contain both non-oscillating and oscillating corrections to the corresponding results derived from Landau＇s grand partition function. In particular, Landau＇s grand partition function is not sufficiently accurate to yield our nonzero results for the specific heat and the entropy. An error in the Laplace-transform method for the problem is corrected. The results previously obtained by this method are also improved.

A thermodynamics comparison of subcritical and transcritical organic Rankine cycle system for power generation

A comparison on subcritical and transcritical organic Rankine cycle（ORC） system with a heat source of 110 ℃ geothermal water was presented. The net power output, thermal and exergy efficiencies and the products of the heat transfer coefficient（U） and the total heat exchange area（A）（UA values） were calculated for parametric optimization. Nine candidate working fluids were investigated and compared. Under the given conditions, transcritical systems have higher net power outputs than subcritical ones. The highest net power output of transcritical systems is 18.63 k W obtained by R218, and that of subcritical systems is 13.57 k W obtained by R600 a. Moreover, with the increase of evaporating pressure, the thermal and exergy efficiencies of transcritical systems increase at first and then decrease, but the efficiencies of subcritical ones increase. As a result, the efficiencies of transcritical systems cannot always outperform those of the subcritical ones. However, the subcritical systems have lower minimum UA values and lower expansion ratios than the transcritical ones at the maximum net power output. In addition, the transcritical cycles have higher expansion ratios than the subcritical ones at their maximum net power output.

Thermodynamics of DBI Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

Through the gauge field theory, we obtain the solution of the DBI-AdS black hole, In the meantime, according to the relations between the action and the grand partition function, we obtain the grand partition function in the DBI-AdS black hole. The temperature and the potential of the DBI-AdS black hole are gained from differential of the grand partition function. With the thermodynamic relations, other thermodynamics are also obtained. The solution and the thermodynamics of the DBI-AdS black hole are turned out that they can reduce to the case of a charged black hole in four-dimensional spacetimes.

Fuel Cells as Energy Systems： Efficiency, Power Limits and Thermodynamic Behavior

Steady-state model of a high-temperature solid oxide fuel cell （SOFC） is considered, which refers to constant chemical potentials of incoming hydrogen fuel and oxidant. Lowering of the cell voltage below its reversible value is attributed to polarizations and imperfect conversions of reactions. An imperfect power formula summarizes the effect of transport laws, irreversible polarizations and efficiency of power yield. Reversible electrochemical theory is extended to the case with dissipative chemical reactions; this case includes systems with incomplete conversions, characterized by ＂reduced affinities＂ and an idle run voltage. Efficiency drop is linked with thermodynamic and electrochemical irreversibilities expressed in terms of polarizations （activation, concentration and ohmic）. Effect of incomplete conversions is modeled by assuming that substrates can be remained after the reaction and that side reactions may occur. Optimum and feasibility conditions are discussed for basic input parameters of the cell. Calculations of maximum power show that the data differ for power generated and consumed and depend on current intensity, number of mass transfer units, polarizations, electrode surface area, average chemical rate, etc.. These data provide bounds for SOFC energy generators, which are more exact and informative than reversible bounds for electrochemical transformation.

Power output analyses and optimizations of the Stirling cycle

Based on the finite time thermodynamics theory,the entransy theory and the entropy theory,the Stirling cycles under different conditions are analyzed and optimized with the maximum output power as the target in this paper.The applicability of entransy loss(EL),entransy dissipation(ED),entropy generation(EG),entropy generation number(EGN) and modified entropy generation number(MEGN) to the system optimization is investigated.The results show that the maximum EL rate corresponds to the maximum power output of the cycle working under the infinite heat reservoirs whose temperatures are prescribed,while the minimum EG rate and the extremum ED rate do not.For the Stirling cycle working under the finite heat reservoirs provided by the hot and cold streams whose inlet temperatures and the heat capacity flow rates are prescribed,the maximum EL rate,the minimum EG rate,the minimum EGN and the minimum MEGN all correspond to the maximum power output,but the extremum ED rate does not.When the heat capacity flow rate of the hot stream increases,the power output,the EL rate,the EG rate and the ED rate increase monotonously,while the EGN and the MEGN decrease first and then increase.The EL has best consistency in the power output optimizations of the Stirling cycles discussed in this paper.

Entransy analyses of the thermodynamic cycle in a turbojet engine

The analysis and the design of turbojet engines are of great importance to the improvement of the system performance.Many researchers focus on these topics,and many important and interesting results have been obtained.In this paper,the thermodynamic cycle in a turbojet engine is analyzed with the entransy theory and the T-Q diagram.The ideal thermodynamic cycle in which there is no inner irreversibility is analyzed,as well as the influences from some inner irreversible factors,such as the heat transfer process,the change of the component of the working fluid and the viscosity of the working fluid.For the discussed cases,it is shown that larger entransy loss rate always results in larger output power,while smaller entropy generation rate does not always.The corresponding T-Q diagrams are also presented,with which the change tendencies of the entransy loss rate and the output power can be shown very intuitively.It is shown that the entransy theory is applicable for analyzing the inner irreversible thermodynamic cycles discussed in this paper.Compared with the concept of entropy generation,the concept of entransy loss and the corresponding T-Q diagram are more suitable for describing the change of the output power of the analyzed turbojet engine no matter if the inner irreversible factors are considered.
