Abstract This study investigates a novel method for controlling the thermal conductivity of soil to enhance the performance of a horizontal ground source heat pump (GSHP). The method calls for irrigation lines to be buried in parallel with the ground pipes for the distribution of water in the area around the pipes thereby contributing to and controlling the soil’s moisture content. The controlled distribution of water within the porous soil promotes heat paths improving the performance of the GSHP system based on the transient seasonal spatial-temporal conditions. A computational fluid dynamics model of the porous soil is developed to simulate the hydro-thermal phenomenon over a short duration (40 hours) during winter conditions. The model is employed to investigate the heat transfer rate between the ground and pipes when the soil’s moisture content is modified and how this affects performance.

The main element characterizing the transformer efficiency is the state of its isolation, and the first thing is operating oil, which can perform its functions for a long time with timely restoration of its properties. Transformer oil is the main dielectric being in contact with the external environment, interacting with solid insulation and carrying a large amount of diagnostic information. Analysis of the development of transformer insulation damage showed that the main catalyst for accelerating the aging process of the oil is the appearance of moisture in it. This effect is enhanced by oxygen, temperature, the catalytic action of metals, oxidation and other factors. To confirm the influence of moisture content in oil on the deterioration of its properties, a statistical analysis of the oil sample test protocols was carried out. The obtained data allowed us to determine the moisture content as an important integral parameter of oil quality. Recommendations are given on the inclusion of a moisture content parameter in a set of mandatory requirements, in particular, for 10/0.4 kV consumer transformer substations equipped with silica gel air dryers

Microscopic analysis shows that equine hoof wall is composed of distinct phases of tubular and intertubular horn. The tubule density (TD) of hoof horn is found by ascertaining the number of tubules per unit area and is believed to relate to mechanical properties, resistance to wear, “quality”, hardness and moisture content. The straight grid previously used to ascertain the TD of hoof horn may omit certain tubules on both the inner and outer hoof wall as the wall itself is curved. This present study examined whether there was a significant difference in results for TD between using the conventional straight grid method and a novel method using a curved grid. TD was also compared across three sample sites. An analysis of TD from four equal sections (zones) across the hoof wall was also carried out.The left fore feet of 10 randomly selected slaughterhouse horses and ponies were used to provide hoof samples.

The moisture distribution in the transformer and variation mechanism of moisture in oil is analyzed in this paper, and using relative saturation and temperature as characteristic parameters, a detail scheme of on-line monitoring moisture content in transformer oil is put forward. The polyimide-based capacitive humidity sensor and temperature sensor are employed in on-line monitoring moisture content in oil. Computer is utilized to sample and analyze the data that sensors send out. The experiment on test transformer confirms that the sensors can work reliably, and reflect the moisture content in transformer oil accurately. The method that the paper proposes can realize the purpose of on-line monitoring.

The aim of the research described in this paper is to measure moisture content in biomass fuel with radio frequency spectroscopy. The advantage with this method is that radio waves penetrate large samples, and thereby gives an average moisture content representing the whole sample. The method is fast and is a small scale version of what can be applied in the future on-line for biomass fuel arriving in containers to the power plants. The moisture content is determined with a sensor that measure attenuation and phase shift for a frequency spectrum from 310 MHz to 900 MHz. The measurements are performed on sawdust with moisture contents normally occurring in power plants (from 34 to 65%). Multivariate data analysis is used for evaluation of the dielectric spectra from samples with known moisture content. Our results show that it is possible to measure moisture content in sawdust using radio frequency spectroscopy. A partial least square model is built on samples from sawdust. The moisture content varied between 34 and 60%. A standard error for the cross validation of 0.99% and a correlation factor of 0.99 was received. It is known that dielectric properties are also influenced by bulk density and temperature. Tests show that the influence of the bulk density is of greater importance. Further calibration measurements have to be performed to be able to make reliable measurements on the different bio fuels used at power plants.
