The paper describes changes in thermal properties in the process of freezing of marine raw materials. The study objects were the skin of giant octopus (Octopus dofleini L.), pallium of Pacific squid (Todarodes pacificus L.), milt of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii L .), a nd muscle t issue of Japanese c ucumaria (Cucumaria japonica L.). The mathematical relations of the studied thermal parameters allowing the calculation of specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity coefficient and tissue density of the studied objects in the process of freezing were obtained. It was found that the change in the total specific heat capacity during the freezing of all the objects under study was of the same type: first, this figure increases due to the intensive ice formation in the tissues of hydrobionts, and then decreases due to a significant decrease in the content of the liquid aqueous phase. The values of the total specific heat capacity before the freezing of seafood were determined (kJ/kg·K): 4.26 for squid, 3.58 for milt of Pacific herring, 3.66 for octopus skin, and 3.95 for the shell of cucumaria. It was revealed that an increase in the amount of frozen out water decreased the density of samples of frozen raw materials. This was due to the high (77.4–88.9%) content of water, turning into ice, which has a lower density index. The values of hydrobionts’ tissue density before freezing were obtained ( 0 ρ , kg/m3): 1226.74 for squid, 1209.6 for milt of Pacific herring, 1128.55 for octopus skin, and 031.26 for shell of cucumaria. It was established that the thermal conductivity of the hydrobiont tissue samples in the process of freezing increased with the growth of the proportion of frozen out water contained, approaching the thermal conductivity of ice. The calculated values of thermal conductivity coefficient of seafood tissue prior to freezing equal (W/m·K): 0.52 for squid, 0.47 for milt of Pacific herring, 0.63 for octopus skin, and 0.53 for cucumaria. The obtained thermal characteristics values of the objects studied are recommended for use in technical and technological calculations of aquatic biological resources cooling treatment processes.

AbstractIn a bid to develop paper bricks as alternative masonry units, unmodified banana fibers (UMBF) and alkaline (1 Molar aqueous sodium hydroxide) modified banana fibers (AMBF), fine sand, and ordinary Portland cement were blended with waste paper pulp. The fibers were introduced in varying proportions of 0, 0.5, 1.0 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 wt% (by weight of the pulp) and curing was done for 28 and 56 days. Properties such as water and moisture absorption, compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity were appraised. The outcome of the examinations carried out revealed that water absorption rose with fiber loading while AMBF reinforced samples absorbed lesser water volume than UMBF reinforced samples; a feat occasioned by alkaline treatment of banana fiber. Moisture absorption increased with paper bricks doped with UMBF, while in the case of AMBF-paper bricks, property value was noted to depreciate with increment in AMBF proportion. Fiber loading resulted in improvement of compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths and it was noted that AMBF reinforced samples performed better. The result of the thermal test showed that incorporation of UMBF led to depreciation in thermal conductivity while AMBF infusion in the bricks initiated increment in value. Opposite behaviour was observed for specific heat capacity as UMBF enhanced heat capacity while AMBF led to depreciation. Experimental trend analysis carried out indicates that curing length and alkaline modification of fiber were effective in maximizing the properties of paperbricks for masonry construction.

Abstract Natural gas hydrate is widely distributed in the permafrost and marine deposits, and is regarded as an energy resource with great potential. The low-frequency electric heating assisted depressurization (LF-EHAD) has been proven to be an efficient method for exploiting hydrate sediments, which involves complex multi-physics processes, i.e. current conduction, multiphase flow, chemical reaction and heat transfer. The physical properties vary greatly in different hydrate sediments, which may profoundly affect the hydrate decomposition in the LF-EHAD process. In order to evaluate the influence of hydrate-bearing sediment properties on the gas production behavior and energy utilization efficiency of the LF-EHAD method, a geological model was first established based on the data of hydrate sediments in the Shenhu Area. Then, the influence of permeability, porosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, hydrate saturation and hydrate-bearing layer (HBL) thickness on gas production behavior is comprehensively analyzed by numerical simulation method. Finally, the energy efficiency ratio under different sediment properties is compared. Results indicate that higher gas production is obtained in the high-permeability hydrate sediments during depressurization. However, after the electric heating is implemented, the gas production first increases and then tends to be insensitive as the permeability decreases. With the increasing of porosity, the gas production during depressurization decreases due to the low effective permeability; while in the electric heating stage, this effect is reversed. High thermal conductivity is beneficial to enhance the heat conduction, thus promoting the hydrate decomposition. During depressurization, the gas production is enhanced with the increase of specific heat capacity. However, more heat is consumed to increase the reservoir temperature during electric heating, thereby reducing the gas production. High hydrate saturation is not conducive to depressurization because of the low effective permeability. After electric heating, the gas production increases significantly. High HBL thickness results in a higher gas production during depressurization, while in the electric heating stage, the gas production first increases and then remains unchanged with the increase of thickness, due to the limited heat supply. The comparison results of energy efficiency suggest that electric heating is more advantageous for hydrate sediments with low permeability, high porosity, high thermal conductivity, low specific heat capacity, high hydrate saturation and high HBL thickness. The findings in this work can provide a useful reference for evaluating the application of the LF-EHAD method in gas hydrate sediments.

Abstract Increasing demand for usage of electronics intensely in narrow enclosures necessitates accurate thermal analyses to be performed. Conduction based FEM (Finite Element Method) is a common and practical way to examine the thermal behavior of an electronic system. First step to perform a numerical analysis for any system is to set up the correct analysis model. In this paper, a method for obtaining the coefficient of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of a PCB which has generally a complex composite layup structure composed of conductive layers, and dielectric layers. In the study, above mentioned properties are obtained performing a simple nondestructive experiment and a numerical analysis. In the method, a small portion of PCB is sandwiched from one side at certain pressure by jaws. A couple of linear temperature profiles are applied to the jaws successively. Unknown values are tuned in the analysis model until the results of FEM analysis and experiment match. The values for the coefficient of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity which the experiment and numerical analysis results match can be said to be the actual values. From this point on, the PCB whose thermal properties are determined can be analyzed numerically for any desired geometry and boundary condition.

Thermal conductivity values at the temperature of 301-303K have been measured for Zea mays straw board as well as Zea mays heartwood (cork) board. Comparative study of the thermal conductivity values of the boards reveal that Zea mays heartwood board has a lower thermal conductivity value to that of the straw board. The study also shows that the straw board is denser than the heartwood board. Specific heat capacity value is less in value for the heartwood board than the straw board. These parameters also affect the thermal diffusivity as well as thermal absorptivity values for the two types of boards. The result favours the two boards as thermal insulators for thermal envelop but with heartwood board as a preferred insulation material than the straw board.
