In São Paulo State, mainly in rural areas, the utilization of wooden poles is observed for different purposes. In this context, wood in contact with the ground presents faster deterioration, which is generally associated to environmental factors and, especially to the presence of fungi and insects. With the use of mathematical models, the useful life of wooden structures can be predicted by obtaining "climatic indexes" to indicate, comparatively among the areas studied, which have more or less tendency to fungi and insects attacks. In this work, by using climatological data of several cities at São Paulo State, a simplified mathematical model was obtained to measure the aggressiveness of the wood in contact with the soil.

Mathematical models have been very useful in reducing challenges encountered by researchers due to the inability of having solar radiation data or lack of instrumental sites at every point on the Earth.  This work aimed at investigating the prediction performance of Hargreaves-Samani’s model in estimating global solar radiation (GSR) out of the many other empirical models so far formulated for this purpose. This model basically uses maximum and minimum temperature data and basically used in mid-latitudes. The paper attempts to assess the predictive performance of Hargreaves-Samani’s model in the Savanna region using Yola as a case study. Estimated values of GSR from one month data adopted from the Meteorological station of the Department of Geography, Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria was used for this purpose. Using this model shows a 95% index of agreement (IA) with the observed values; which suggests a good model performance and can also be used in estimating global solar radiation in the Savanna region particularly in areas with little or no such climatic data.

Для оценки роли городской застройки в формировании “острова тепла” и исследования его влияния на распространение загрязняющих веществ разработана микромасштабная математическая модель городской среды. В качестве модельной задачи рассматривалось локальное влияние городской застройки микрорайона г. Красноярска. Установлено, что наибольший вклад в формирование “острова тепла” вносят наружные стены зданий и их верхние конструкции - крыши. При учете теплообмена наблюдаются рост средней скорости воздушного потока внутри квартала и уменьшение низкоскоростных областей более чем на 0.5 м/с. Также выявлено, что при учете теплообмена наблюдается заброс загрязняющих веществ, поступающих от дороги, на б´ольшую высоту, чем без него. Разработанная математическая модель позволяет комплексно подойти к исследованию гидродинамики и прогнозированию экологической обстановки урбанизированных территорий Introduction. The configuration of modern micro districts leads to the formation of zones with low velocity, in which the accumulation of pollutants occurs. On the other hand, during the construction of cities, the surface of the Earth is covered with materials that actively absorb solar radiation, which leads to the formation of an urban heat island. Our work is devoted to the study of the local influence of urban development on the spread of pollutants, which takes into account the above mentioned factors. Mathematical model. For solving our problems we developed the microscale mathematical model based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flows with variable density. For the correct calculation of the temperature on the surface of buildings, we used a model of conjugate heat transfer with a one-dimensional equation of thermal conductivity. As a model problem, we considered the Krasnoyarsk area with dense development and the presence of a highrise building for two seasons: winter and summer. The source of emission of pollutants was traffic. Results. The results of the calculations show a significant decrease in velocity around buildings. On the contrary, solar radiation leads to the intensification of free convective motion, especially in the surface area. That can double the near-surface velocity compared to the solution that does not account for the heat transfer. Conclusions. The developed mathematical model allows a comprehensive approach to solving hydrodynamic problems of prediction the ecological situation of cities

A mathematical modeling method was devoted to study the thermal performance of integral solar air collector. A mathematical model of heat transfer was set up based on one-dimension assumptions at first, and then numerical solution was brought out by using finite-difference method under one-dimension steady heat exchange. Through the MATLAB programming, the approximate solutions for the local air temperature and thermal efficiency were obtained at the quasi-steady state. After calculation, the influence of air inlet velocity, inlet temperature, solar radiation intensity and height of flow channel on the performance of collector was analyzed. It is discovered that the mathematical model is reasonable, the thermal efficiency decreases with temperature of inlet air increasing and increases with air velocity increasing, on which the solar radiation intensity have little influence. Depth of the channel and optimum flow both have a best value.

Solar energy may be practically utilized directly through transformation into heat, electrical or chemical energy. A physical and mathematical model is presented, as well as a numerical procedure for predicting thermal performances of the P2CC solar concentrator. The demonstrated prototype has the reception angle of 110? at concentration ratio CR = 1.38, with the significant reception of diffuse radiation. The solar collector P2CC is designed for the area of middle temperature conversion of solar radiation into heat. The working fluid is water with laminar flow through a copper pipe surrounded by an evacuated glass layer. Based on the physical model, a mathematical model is introduced, which consists of energy balance equations for four collector components. In this paper, water temperatures in flow directions are numerically predicted, as well as temperatures of relevant P2CC collector components for various values of input temperatures and mass flow rates of the working fluid, and also for various values of direct sunlight radiation and for different collector lengths. The device which is used to transform solar energy to heat is referred to as solar collector. This paper gives numerical estimated changes of temperature in the direction of fluid flow for different flow rates, different solar radiation intensity and different inlet fluid temperatures. The increase in fluid flow reduces output temperature, while the increase in solar radiation intensity and inlet water temperature increases output temperature of water. Furthermore, the dependence on fluid output temperature is determined, along with the current efficiency by the number of nodes in the numerical calculation.

His work aims to develop a mathematical model of incident solar radiation on all the walls of a sloping roof habitat for a typical climate in the Ouagadougou region. Subsequently, we set up a program for the calculations of the essential parameters of illumination and the various components of solar radiation under the Fortran Programming Language and to plot our curves using the Origin software. This work allowed us to estimate the amount of solar flux that each wall of a habitat receives during a day, to know the importance of the orientation of the main facade of the habitat to the south and to find out how often the roof is exposed to solar radiation.
