In this work, the soil temperature at depth was measured in the laboratory, and a mathematical model to fit the temperature profile in volcanic soils classified as Ultisols and Andisols was used. The mathematical model considered the transient heat diffusion equation, and a numerical discrete method was used to solve the equations system. The soil surface was heated for 2500 s and the temperature rose close to 700°C; the soil temperature decreased with depth; the temperature v. time curves showed a constant value when the temperature reached around 100°C, associated with water phase change and related to the water content of soils. The model was corrected by including the heat volumetric formulation. The observed relative errors are close to 10% in all fitted curves with respect to experimental data, showing the quality of the parametrisation chosen in the mathematical model. The fitting curve deviations were reduced when the actual position of thermocouples was considered, showing the sensitivity of the mathematical model. The simplified mathematical transient diffusion model proposed, which considers 2 ranges of thermal conductivity of soils and the surface temperature, was able to describe the experimental temperature profile in volcanic soils with wide differences in mineralogy, organic matter, and moisture contents.

This work presents a 3D computational/mathematical model to solve the heat diffusion equation with phase change, considering metal addition, complex geometry, and thermal properties varying with temperature. The finite volume method was used and the computational code was implemented in C++, using a Borland compiler. Experimental tests considering workpieces of stainless steel AISI 304 were carried out for validation of the thermal model. Inverse techniques based on Golden Section method were used to estimate the heat transfer rate to the workpieces. Experimental temperatures were measured using thermocouples type J—in a total of 07 (seven)—all connected to the welded workpiece and the Agilent 34970A data logger. The workpieces were chamfered in a 45° V-groove in which liquid metal was added on only one weld pass. An innovation presented in this work when compared to other works in scientific literature was the geometry of the weld pool. The good relation between experimental and simulated data confirmed the quality and robustness of the thermal model proposed in this work.

The soil’s temperature plays an important role of soil ecology research. In order to gain and control soil’ temperature. A control system is proposed for soil’s temperature. And a new control algorithm which is based on the PID algorithm is designed in the control system to handle the complex change of the soil’s temperature. It does not need to know the mathematical model of soil’s temperature. At last, the control result is analyzed in this paper. The result shows that the soil’s temperature is controlled ideal by this control system which is accurate to 0.5°C.

The article presents a mathematical model of coal self-heating in the stack in which the heat exchange and gas exchange processes are described by a system of two non-linear differential equations of the second order with respect to the temperature t of coal self-heating and the volume fraction C of oxygen in the voids of the stack with boundary and initial conditions. The differential equations took into account that self-heating of coal in the stack and appearance of spontaneous combustion are observed in a relatively small layer adjacent to the surface of its contact with the air and called the zone of oxygen influence. In the mathematical model, the influence on the process of coal self-heating of parameter F- specific heat release power was taken into account, which in addition characterises the stability of coal during storage. When compiling the differential equations, such physical parameters as thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficient, specific heat capacity of coal in the stack, bulk density, thermal effect of oxidation, stack voidness, temperature coefficient of exponential growth of heat release power were also used. For numerical implementation of the mathematical model, dimensionless variables and criteria were introduced, which allowed us to apply the net method. Analysis of the obtained results allowed to get: change in the stack temperature profiles with time; change in the stack oxygen concentration profiles with time; influence on the stack temperature profile of the specific heat release power; influence on the stack temperature profile of the parameter characterizing exponential growth of heat release intensity with temperature increase. It has been determined that the dynamics of coal self-heating in the stack is mostly influenced by the Lykov criterion, proportional to the diffusion coefficient, and the Nusselt criterion related to the effective thermal conductivity and to the effective thermal diffusivity of coal. The obtained results suggest that self-heating in the stack is due on the one hand to intensive penetration of air oxygen and on the other hand to a weakened heat transfer. Self-heating and the transition of self-heating into ignition are associated with the occurrence of turbulent diffusion in the stack, arising from increased thermal blowing, whose impact can be enhanced by directing it perpendicular to the surface of the stack.

The work of a tractor-towed machine for cleaning beet top residues from root crop heads, when used with supporting pneumatic wheels, is accompanied with its oscillations in the vertical plane, which has consider- able impact on the quality of implementing the technological process. Therefore, the determination of opti- mal parameters for the cleaning machine, ensuring more stable movement of its cleaning working tool, in the longitudinal-vertical plane fi rst and foremost, is an important task of the mechanization of sugar beet grow- ing industry. Aim. To enhance the effi ciency of cleaning sugar beet top residues from root crop heads via the elaboration of the mathematical model of the oscillating movement of the towed machine for cleaning beet top residues from root crop heads in the longitudinal-vertical plane. Methods. The methods of building computational mathematical models for the functioning of agricultural machines and equipment, based on theoretical mechanics and advanced mathematics, were used. Results. The elaborated equivalent scheme of the movement of the towed cleaning machine was used to obtain the system of two non-linear differential equations for detailed study of the oscillations of the root crop head cleaner in the longitudinal-vertical plane while its supporting pneumatic wheels are moving along uneven soil surface. The mathematical model for the movement of the cleaner with horizontal cleaning roller, elaborated on the basis of initial dynamics equa- tions in the Lagrangian form of the second kind, allowed determining the connection between constructive and kinematic parameters of the vehicle and its oscillating characteristics. The established dependencies formed the prerequisites for further mathematical digital modelling of the parameters of the towed machine for cleaning of root crop heads with a horizontal cleaning roller. Conclusions. The established computation- al model allows optimizing the values of several parameters, characterizing the oscillations of the machine in the longitudinal-vertical plane.

Plasma deposited amorphous fluorocarbon polymers find use in biopassivation, and as low-friction coatings, adhesion promoters, and interlayer dielectrics. Here, we exploit their ease of deposition into ultrathin layers (<50 nm thick) to explore their potential as thermal storage elements. We design and fabricate a microcalorimeter for measuring the heat capacity of thin fluorocarbons. Conventional thin film calorimetry assumes adiabatic conditions that lead to large errors as film thickness decreases. We propose a new data analysis procedure that incorporates a one-dimensional solution of the transient heat diffusion equation to account for conduction losses. The data for films with thicknesses in the range 12–27 nm reveal a lowering of the melting point and an increase in the volumetric heat capacity with decreasing thickness. We attribute this to change in the carbon to fluorine ratio in the films’ composition. The volumetric heat capacity approximately doubles at room temperature as the film thickness decreases from 27 nm to 12 nm.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the convergence and error properties of a finite volume-based heat conduction code that uses automatic differentiation to evaluate derivatives of solutions outputs with respect to arbitrary solution input(s). A problem involving conduction in a plane wall with convection at its surfaces is used as a test problem, as it has an analytical solution, and the error can be evaluated directly. Design/methodology/approach The finite volume method is used to discretize the transient heat diffusion equation with constant thermophysical properties. The discretized problem is then linearized, which results in two linear systems; one for the primary solution field and one for the secondary field, representing the derivative of the primary field with respect to the selected input(s). Derivatives required in the formation of the secondary linear system are obtained by automatic differentiation using an operator overloading and templating approach in C++. Findings The temporal and spatial discretization error for the derivative solution follows the same order of accuracy as the primary solution. Second-order accuracy of the spatial and temporal discretization schemes is confirmed for both primary and secondary problems using both orthogonal and non-orthogonal grids. However, it has been found that for non-orthogonal cases, there is a limit to the error reduction, which is concluded to be a result of errors in the Gauss-based gradient reconstruction method. Originality/value The convergence and error properties of derivative solutions obtained by forward mode automatic differentiation of finite volume-based codes have not been previously investigated.
