Breakthrough curves of Cl and 3H2O were obtained during steady unsaturated flow in five lysimeters containing an undisturbed coarse sand (Orthic Haplohumod). The experimental data were analyzed in terms of the classical two-parameter convection-dispersion equation and a four-parameter two-region type physical nonequilibrium solute transport model. Model parameters were obtained by both curve fitting and time moment analysis. The four-parameter model provided a much better fit to the data for three soil columns, but performed only slightly better for the two remaining columns. The retardation factor for Cl was about 10 % less than for 3H2O, indicating some anion exclusion. For the four-parameter model the average immobile water fraction was 0.14 and the Peclet numbers of the mobile region varied between 50 and 200. Time moments analysis proved to be a useful tool for quantifying the break through curve (BTC) although the moments were found to be sensitive to experimental scattering in the measured data at larger times. Also, fitted parameters described the experimental data better than moment generated parameter values.

This paper shows that successful switching of extremely high short-circuit currents I> 50 kA can be achieved by joint operation of a liquid-metal self-resetting current limiter and a circuit breaker connected in series. The type NFU-225 device from Mitsubishi was taken as an example. The time-current characteristic of joint operation of a liquid-metal self-resetting current-limiting device and a circuit breaker was compiled. However, further in the article physical processes occurring in a liquid-metal self-resetting current limiter with a complete transformation of fusible unit are considered. The result of work is modelling of operation of liquid-metal fuses when overcurrents are switched off based on the pilot studies obtained by the Japanese scientists. It is proposed to simulate the break process not at every time moment, but at specific time moments (reference points). At other time moments, current and voltage should be considered as approximately linearly changing characteristics. The work of current limiter can be represented by three stages: the pre-arc, the main arc and the final arc. If the current density is less than 1000 A/mm2, then the pre-arc operation stage of the current limiter includes the following sections for heating the fusible unit: primary heating to the melting temperature; melting and its transition to liquid state; secondary heating to evaporation temperature; evaporation of fusible unit.

In this article we focus on the problem of supervised classifying of the spatio-temporal Gaussian random field observation into one of two classes, specified by different mean parameters. The main distinctive feature of the proposed approach is allowing the class label to depend on spatial location as well as on time moment. It is assumed that the spatio-temporal covariance structure factors into a purely spatial component and a purely temporal component following AR(p) model. In numerical illustrations with simulated data, the influence of the values of spatial and temporal covariance parameters to the derived error rates for several prior probabilities models are studied.

Abstract. Low enthalpy geothermal energy is a renewable resource that is still underexploited nowadays, in relation to its potential for development in the society worldwide. Most of its applicabilities have already been investigated, such as: heating and cooling of private and public buildings, roads defrost, cooling of industrial processes, food drying systems, desalination. One of the major limitations related to the choice of installing low enthalpy geothermal power plants regards the initial investment costs. In order to increase the optimal efficiency of installations which use groundwater as geothermal resource, flow and heat transport dynamics in aquifers need to be well characterized. Especially in fractured rock aquifers these processes represent critical elements that are not well known. Therefore there is a tendency to oversize geothermal plants. In literature there are very few studies on heat transport especially in fractured media. This study is aimed to deepen the understanding of this topic through heat transport experiments in fractured network and their interpretation. The heat transfer tests have been carried out on the experimental apparatus previously employed to perform flow and tracer transport experiments, which has been modified in order to analyze heat transport dynamics in a network of fractures. In order to model the obtained thermal breakthrough curves, the Explicit Network Model (ENM) has been used, which is based on an adaptation of a Tang's solution for the transport of the solutes in a semi-infinite single fracture embedded in a porous matrix. Parameter estimation, time moment analysis, tailing character and other dimensionless parameters have permitted to better understand the dynamics of heat transport and the efficiency of heat exchange between the fractures and matrix. The results have been compared with the previous experimental studies on solute transport.

To apply real-time moment-ratio analysis to multibreath N2-washout curves (MBNW) from children, a new processor-controlled device was constructed. Flow and fractional N2 concentration (FN2) were each sampled by 200 Hz. An electromagnetic triple-valve system, with an instrumental dead space of 36 ml and a valve resistance of 0.3 cmH2O . l-1 . s, was connected in series with a pneumotachograph and an N2 analyzer (Ohio 720) placed next to the mouthpiece. A FORTRAN/MACRO program on a PDP 11/23 computer enabled measurement of inspiratory and expiratory flow and FN2 sampling by a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. The fast real-time digital processing of the N2 and flow signals incorporated filtering, delay compensation, and corrections for the effects of changes in gas composition and temperature. MBNW dynamics of the lungs were studied in 17 healthy and 28 asthmatic children and in 16 patients with cystic fibrosis, evaluating the moment ratios of the washout curves as indices of the ventilation characteristics. Intrasubject variability of the moment ratios (m1/m0, m2/m0) and determination of functional residual capacity (FRC) varied between 6.3 and 14.7% (depending on which parameter is considered) and was comparatively lower than other indices previously investigated in adults. In addition, the sensitivity of the moment ratios for discriminating different stages of ventilation inhomogeneity was superior to other indices. m2/m0 is closely related to the simultaneously measured airway resistance, and the ratio between cumulative expired volume and FRC is correlated with the ratio between residual volume and total lung capacity.

Abstract. Low enthalpy geothermal energy is a renewable resource that is still underexploited nowadays in relation to its potential for development in society worldwide. Most of its applications have already been investigated, such as heating and cooling of private and public buildings, road defrosting, cooling of industrial processes, food drying systems or desalination. Geothermal power development is a long, risky and expensive process. It basically consists of successive development stages aimed at locating the resources (exploration), confirming the power generating capacity of the reservoir (confirmation) and building the power plant and associated structures (site development). Different factors intervene in influencing the length, difficulty and materials required for these phases, thereby affecting their cost. One of the major limitations related to the installation of low enthalpy geothermal power plants regards the initial development steps that are risky and the upfront capital costs that are huge. Most of the total cost of geothermal power is related to the reimbursement of invested capital and associated returns. In order to increase the optimal efficiency of installations which use groundwater as a geothermal resource, flow and heat transport dynamics in aquifers need to be well characterized. Especially in fractured rock aquifers these processes represent critical elements that are not well known. Therefore there is a tendency to oversize geothermal plants. In the literature there are very few studies on heat transport, especially on fractured media. This study is aimed at deepening the understanding of this topic through heat transport experiments in fractured networks and their interpretation. Heat transfer tests have been carried out on the experimental apparatus previously employed to perform flow and tracer transport experiments, which has been modified in order to analyze heat transport dynamics in a network of fractures. In order to model the obtained thermal breakthrough curves, the Explicit Network Model (ENM) has been used, which is based on an adaptation of Tang's solution for the transport of the solutes in a semi-infinite single fracture embedded in a porous matrix. Parameter estimation, time moment analysis, tailing character and other dimensionless parameters have permitted a better understanding of the dynamics of heat transport and the efficiency of heat exchange between the fractures and the matrix.

Stress Calculation

Designing and maintenance of pipeline cable bridge with dynamic loads is complex because this problem belongs to the geometrically nonlinear problems. Analysis shown that existing mathematics models of cables have restrictions in use and we can’t use these cable models for dynamic loads calculations of cable-suspended pipeline bridge. Movement, produced by motion of inspection pig inside pipeline is an example of such dynamic loads. During its motion through the pipeline cable bridge the inspection pig induces additional stresses in pipeline due its weight and finite velocity which induces the vibration of the bridge. Its stress state assessment requires a lot of modeling, measuring and calculating actions to be done. First of all the initial static stress state of the cable bridge should be evaluated. It depends on the existing tension forces in the cable elements. They approximately were derived from the optical measurement of their geometrical curvatures with accounting for known weight density of the cables. Then, existing software tool for piping stress calculation “3D Pipe Master”, which operates by 12 degrees of freedom in pipe elements, was modernized to be able to take into account the geometrically nonlinear behavior of 6 d.o.f. cable elements. The equations which relate the elongations and rotations of cable elements with tension forces in cables are written in the form convenient for application of the transfer matrix method in the linearized iteration procedure which adjusts the measured displacements of the elements of the bridge with calculated one. In this way the initial tension forces in cables, in particular, and the bridge state, in general were determined. The dynamic part of the problem is solved by expansion in terms of natural frequencies eigenfunctions. Given inspection pig velocity calculation allows to determine the time dependence of generalized loads for each of natural vibration mode as product of the pig weight multiplied by mode shape displacement in point of pig position at the given time moment. Eventually the technique of Duhamel integral is used to calculate the dynamic behavior of the bridge for each natural mode of vibration. Two examples of dynamic stress calculation are considered. First is primitive one and relate to calculation joint interaction pipeline and cable system at dynamic loading. The second example concerns dynamic calculation pipeline cable bridge through the river Svicha during movement inspection pig. This bridge consists of two support, two parallel pipelines (1220×15) with bends and cable system. Analysis shown possibility uses “3D Pipe Master” software for the solving problems of durability pipeline cable bridge any complexity in the conditions of static and dynamic loading.
