Abstract Avoiding overheating of the supply air inside the fire-rated duct of pressurisation system is crucial for the escape and rescue of the building occupants during the development of a fire. The simulation scenarios are established concerning three cross-sectional dimensions of ducts and four inner air velocities. Based on the performance criteria of insulation specified in the international standard of ISO 834-1, the temperature fields of supply air inside different fire-rated ducts and corresponding safety are analysed based on the assumption that the exterior of fire-rated ducts is in a consistent state of being subjected to fire.

<p>The thermal regime in sediment below the ocean or lakes is mostly governed by the sea or lake bed temperature and by the geothermal heat flow. This thermal regime will determine whether permafrost beneath water bodies is preserved or how rapidly it thaws. Thermal modelling uses mean annual bottom water temperatures to calculate permafrost presence or absence, while predictions of shallow sediment thermal regimes must be forced with time series of changing bottom water temperatures that also account for freezeback of the water column to the bottom, forming bottom-fast ice. However, continuous, annual measurements of bottom water temperatures in Arctic lakes and coastal marine settings are hard to obtain and therefore scarce. Waves and sea ice movement make deployment and recovery of instruments difficult.</p><p>We provide a parameterization of the bottom water temperature function that relies on easier to obtain variables, such as the mean, minimum and maximum air temperature and the water depth, by comparing measured and modelled shallow sediment thermal regimes from the Arctic. We use a parameterization based on a simple cosine for the water temperature with mean temperature, amplitude and time shift and add the minimum water temperature to obtain a 4 parameter function. For shallow regions with bottom-fast ice, additionally the duration of the ice-growth and -melting period as well as the minimum air temperature are needed.</p><p>We test our parameterizations with a globally unique data set of 4 years of ground temperature data collected from the seabed to a depth of 10 m from the near shore zone of the Mackenzie Delta. At the instrumented sites, permafrost is present beneath mostly freshwater bottom-fast and floating ice. Forward modeling of sediment temperatures is performed using the 1D heat transfer model CryoGrid with depth dependent thermal properties. We neglect advective processes and long-term temperature trends in the bottom water temperatures.</p><p> </p><p>Rough parameterization of the annual variation of water bottom temperatures reproduce measured water temperatures with a RMSE of 20-40 %. The resulting modeled sediment temperature field based on 10 years of repeated parameterized bottom water temperatures matches the modeled sediment temperature field based on measured water temperatures in terms of permafrost characteristics, including the depth of the active layer defined by the 0°C isotherm over the year. However, both modelled temperature fields yield significantly higher sediment temperatures than the measured sediment temperature field. This may be the result of choice of sediment thermal properties in the thermal model or shifts in the duration of bottom-fast ice contact or on-ice snow Since modelled temperature fields from both repeated measured and parameterized bottom water temperatures show the same deviation, it suggests that the bottom water temperatures were warmer during the measurement period than the average over the previous 10 years.</p>

There is necessity of considering air temperature to simulate the hydrology and management within water resources systems. In many cases, a big issue is considering the scarcity of data due to poor accessibility and limited funds. This paper proposes a methodology to obtain high resolution air temperature fields by combining scarce point measurements with elevation data and land surface temperature (LST) data from remote sensing. The available station data (SNOTEL stations) are sparse at Rocky Mountain National Park, necessitating the inclusion of correlated and well-sampled variables to assess the spatial variability of air temperature. Different geostatistical approaches and weighted solutions thereof were employed to obtain air temperature fields. These estimates were compared with two relatively direct solutions, the LST (MODIS) and a lapse rate-based interpolation technique. The methodology was evaluated using data from different seasons. The performance of the techniques was assessed through a cross validation experiment. In both cases, the weighted kriging with external drift solution (considering LST and elevation) showed the best results, with a mean squared error of 3.7 and 3.6 °C2 for the application and validation, respectively.

In the production process of large-diameter seamless steel pipes, the blank heating quality before roll piercing has an important effect on whether subsequently conforming piping is produced. Obtaining accurate pipe blank heating temperature fields is the basis for establishing and optimizing a seamless pipe heating schedule. In this paper, the thermal process in a regenerative heating furnace was studied using fluent software, and the distribution laws of the flow field in the furnace and of the temperature field around the pipe blanks were obtained and verified experimentally. The heating furnace for pipe blanks was analyzed from multiple perspectives, including overall flow field, flow fields at different cross sections, and overall temperature field. It was found that the changeover process of the regenerative heating furnace caused the temperature in the upper part of the furnace to fluctuate. Under the pipe blanks, the gas flow was relatively thin, and the flow velocity was relatively low, facilitating the formation of a viscous turbulent layer and thereby inhibiting heat exchange around the pipe blanks. The mutual interference between the gas flow from burners and the return gas from the furnace tail flue led to different flow velocity directions at different positions, and such interference was relatively evident in the middle part of the furnace. A temperature “layering” phenomenon occurred between the upper and lower parts of the pipe blanks. The study in this paper has some significant usefulness for in-depth exploration of the characteristics of regenerative heating furnaces for steel pipes.

Fluid flow and heat transfer in two-dimensional finned passages were analyzed for constant property laminar flow. The passage is formed by two parallel plates to which fins are attached in a staggered fashion. Both the plates are maintained at a constant temperature. Streamwise periodic variation of the cross-sectional area causes the flow and temperature fields to repeat periodically after a certain developing length. Computations were performed for different values of the Reynolds number, the Prandtl number, geometric parameters, and the fin-conductance parameter. The fins were found to cause the flow to deflect significantly and impinge upon the opposite wall so as to increase the heat transfer significantly. However, the associated increase in pressure drop was an order of magnitude higher than the increase in heat transfer. Streamline patterns and local heat transfer results are presented in addition to the overall results.

Method of Lines (MOLs) is introduced to solve 2-Dimension steady temperature field of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The main idea of the method is to semi–discretized the governing equation of thermal transfer problem into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) defined on discrete lines by means of the finite difference method. The temperature field of FGM can be obtained by solving the ODEs with functions of thermal properties. As numerical examples, six kinds of material thermal conductivity functions, i.e. three kinds of polynomial functions, an exponent function, a logarithmic function, and a sine function are selected to simulate spatial thermal conductivity profile in FGMs respectively. The steady-state temperature fields of 2-D thermal transfer problem are analyzed by the MOLs. Numerical results show that different material thermal conductivity function has obvious different effect on the temperature field.

Acoustic tomography (AT), as a noninvasive temperature measurement method, can achieve temperature field measurement in harsh environments. In order to achieve the measurement of the temperature distribution in the furnace and improve the accuracy of AT reconstruction, a temperature field reconstruction algorithm based on the radial basis function (RBF) interpolation method optimized by the evaluation function (EF-RBFI for short) is proposed. Based on a small amount of temperature data obtained by the least square method (LSM), the RBF is used for interpolation. And, the functional relationship between the parameter of RBF and the root-mean-square (RMS) error of the reconstruction results is established in this paper, which serves as the objective function for the effect evaluation, so as to determine the optimal parameter of RBF. The detailed temperature description of the entire measured temperature field is finally established. Through the reconstruction of three different types of temperature fields provided by Dongfang Boiler Works, the results and error analysis show that the EF-RBFI algorithm can describe the temperature distribution information of the measured combustion area globally and is able to reconstruct the temperature field with high precision.

Power rectifiers are very necessary in the wind power generation systems since they are the necessary channels that link the generator and power gird together. However, they have some effects on the permanent magnet wind generator due to their work on fast on-off transitions. Taking an 8kW 2000r/min wind-driven permanent magnet generator as an example, the system model and external circuit were established. Firstly, based on the field-circuit coupling calculation method, the voltage and current harmonics have been studied respectively when the generator was connected to rectifier loads and pure resistance loads, so did the total harmonic distortion. The mechanism of harmonic impacted by rectifiers was revealed. Secondly, combined the harmonic electromagnetic field theory, the stator core loss, armature winding copper loss and rotor eddy loss were analyzed when the generator connected different loads. Furthermore, according to the definition of nonlinear circuits PF, the numerical analysis method was adopted to calculate the power factor when the generator connected two loads respectively. The change mechanism of PF impacted by rectifiers has been revealed. In addition, the temperature field model has been established and the generator temperature was also analyzed. The temperature distributions were obtained when the wind generator was connected to different loads. Then, the relationship between losses and temperature was combined, the change rules of permanent magnet temperature by the eddy current loss were studied under different load. At last, it can prove that the rectifiers have influences on both electromagnetic field and temperature field through comparing the simulation results with experimental test data.

Objective: Ironless, permanent magnet, synchronous linear (IPMSL) motors are applied widely in precision servo control for the nonexistence of cogging forces and comparatively small fluctuations in thrust and speed. Method: The air and water cooling structures are designed by assuming the heat loss in the motor operations is the source for the distribution of the temperature field in the analysis under natural cooling. Conclusion: The temperature fields of the linear motor under the two cooling modes are compared and analyzed, which helps monitor the temperature of linear motors during development and operations.

It is the first generalized 3D mathematic model, which is created for calculating temperature fields in the empty isotropic rotary body, which is restricted by end surfaces and lateral surface of rotation and rotates with constant angular velocity around the axis OZ, with taking into account finite velocity of the heat conductivity in the form of the Dirichlet problem. In this work, an integral transformation was formulated for the 2D finite space, with the help of which a temperature field in the empty isotropic rotary body was determined in the form of convergence series by the Fourier functions.
