The initial ground temperature (IGT) is one of the most important parameters in designing a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system and evaluating its performance. In this paper, three initial ground temperature test methods are introduced. Except the shallow zone, the ground temperature distribution measured from direct and indirect testing method has very small difference. In direct test, the temperature sensor must be embedded when burying the tube in the borehole which is hard to operate in engineering applications. Thus the direct testing method is suggested to be applied in the scientific research. The indirect testing method could be used in engineering applications. The mean ground temperature could be calculated from temperature distribution except the shallow zone temperature. The results from three calculating methods have a quite small difference. Therefore, the arithmetic average method is suggested for scientific and engineering application to calculate the mean ground temperature. The mean ground temperature is also gotten in TRT conveniently. In the condition of velocity 0.7m/s, water was circulated in the tube system with no heat source for 30 minutes. The average water temperature could be regard as the mean ground temperature with sufficient accuracy.

Stochastic temperature distribution in a solid medium with random heat conductivity is investigated by the method of perturbation. The intrinsic randomness of the thermal conductivity k(x) is considered to be a distribution function with random amplitude in the solid, and several typical stochastic processes are considered in the numerical examples. The formulation used in the present analysis describes a situation that the statistical orders of the random response of the system are the same as those of the intrinsic random excitations, which is characteristic for the problem with extrinsic randomness. The maximum standard deviation of the temperature distribution from the mean value in the solid medium reveals the amount of unexpected energy experienced by the solid continuum, which should be carefully inspected in the thermal-failure design of structures with intrinsic randomness.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to identify polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for varietal identification of cotton and evaluation of the genetic distance among the varieties. Initially, 92 SSR markers were genotyped in 20 Brazilian cotton cultivars. Of this total, 38 loci were polymorphic, two of which were amplified by one primer pair; the mean number of alleles per locus was 2.2. The values of polymorphic information content (PIC) and discrimination power (DP) were, on average, 0.374 and 0.433, respectively. The mean genetic distance was 0.397 (minimum of 0.092 and maximum of 0.641). A panel of 96 varieties originating from different regions of the world was assessed by 21 polymorphic loci derived from 17 selected primer pairs. Among these varieties, the mean genetic distance was 0.387 (minimum of 0 and maximum of 0.786). The dendrograms generated by the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) did not reflect the regions of Brazil (20 genotypes) or around the world (96 genotypes), where the varieties or lines were selected. Bootstrap resampling shows that genotype identification is viable with 19 loci. The polymorphic markers evaluated are useful to perform varietal identification in a large panel of cotton varieties and may be applied in studies of the species diversity.

This paper predict and effectively control the temperature distribution of the steady-state and transient states of anisotropic four-layer composite materials online, knowing the density, specific heat, heat conductivity and thickness of the composite materials. Based on the transfer function, a mathematical model was established to study the dynamic characteristics of heat transfer of the composite materials. First of all, the Fourier heat transfer law was used to establish a one-dimensional Fourier heat conduction differential equation for each composite layer, and the Laplace transformation was carried out to obtain the system function. Then the approximate second-order transfer function of the system was obtained by Taylor expansion, and the Laplace inverse transformation was carried out to obtain the transfer function of the whole system in the time domain. Finally, the accuracy of the simplified analytical solutions of the first, second and third order approximate transfer functions was compared with computer simulation. The results showed that the second order approximate transfer functions can describe the dynamic process of heat transfer better than others. The research on the dynamic characteristics of heat transfer in the composite layer and the dynamic model of heat transfer in composite layer proposed in this paper have a reference value for practical engineering application. It can effectively predict the temperature distribution of composite layer material and reduce the cost of experimental measurement of heat transfer performance of materials.

The one-equation model of turbulence is applied to the turbulent thermal convection between horizontal plates maintained at constant temperatures. A pseudo-three-layer model is used consisting of a conduction sublayer adjacent to the plates, a turbulent region within which the mixing length increases linearly, and a turbulent core within which the mixing length is a constant. It is assumed that the Nusselt number varies with the Rayleigh number to the one-third power. As a result, the steady-state distributions of the turbulent kinetic energy and the mean temperature are obtrained and presented in closed forms. These results include the effects of Prandtl number. The predictions are compared with the available experimental results for different Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers. Also included are the predictions of Kraichnan, which are based on a less exact analysis. The results of the one-equation model are in fair agreement with the experimental results for the distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy and the mean temperature distribution. The predictions of Kraichnan are in better agreement with the experimental results for the mean temperature distribution.

Abstract This paper describes that an analysis of oil film thickness on a piston ring of diesel engine. The oil film thickness has been performed by using Reynolds equation and unsteady, two-dimensional (2-D) energy equation with a heat generated from viscous dissipation. The temperature distribution in the oil film is calculated by using the energy equation and the mean oil film temperature is computed. Then the viscosity of oil film is estimated by using the mean oil film temperature. The effect of oil film temperature on the oil film thickness of a piston ring was examined. This model has been verified with published experimental results. Moreover, the heat flow at ring and liner surfaces was examined. As a result, the oil film thickness could be calculated by using the viscosity estimated from the mean oil film temperature and the calculated value is agreement with the measured values.

Terrestrial Photogrammetry

The reverse engineering applications has gained great momentum in industrial production with developments in the fields of computer vision and computer-aided design (CAD). The reproduction of an existing product or a spare part, reproduction of an existing surface, elimination of the defect or improvement of the available product are the goals of industrial reverse engineering applications. The first and the most important step in reverse engineering applications is the generation of the three dimensional (3D) metric model of an existing product in computer environment. After this stage, many operations such as the preparation of molds for mass production, the performance testing, the comparison of the existing product with other products and prototypes which are available on the market are performed by using the generated 3D models. In reverse engineering applications, the laser scanner system or digital terrestrial photogrammetry methods, also called contactless method, are preferred for the generation of the 3D models. In particular, terrestrial photogrammetry has become a popular method since require only photographs for the 3-dimensional drawing, the generation of the dense point cloud using the image matching algorithms and the orthoimage generation as well as its low cost. In this paper, an industrial application of 3D information modelling is presented which concerns the measurement and 3D metric modelling of the ship model. The possible usage of terrestrial photogrammetry in reverse engineering application is investigated based on low cost photogrammetric system. The main aim was the generation of the dense point cloud and 3D line drawing of the ship model by using terrestrial photogrammetry, for the production of the ship in real size as a reverse engineering application. For this purpose, the images were recorded with digital SLR camera and orientations have been performed. Then 3D line drawing operations, point cloud and orthoimage generations have been accomplished by using PhotoModeler software. As a result of the proposed terrestrial photogrammetric steps, 0.5 mm spaced dense point cloud and orthoimage have been generated. The obtained results from experimental study were discussed and possible use of proposed methods was evaluated for reverse engineering application.

Impact Parameters

By including the most recent observations of H I 21-cm absorption through nearby galactic discs, we confirm our previous assertion that there is an anti-correlation between the abundance of cool neutral atomic gas and impact parameter. In comparing the measured neutral hydrogen column densities of the sample with the absorption strength, we find a peak in the mean spin temperature of ⟨Tspin/f ⟩ ≈ 2310 K at an impact parameter of ρ ≈ 14 kpc, with ⟨Tspin/f ⟩≳1000 K in the remainder of the disc. This is significantly different to the spin temperature distribution in the Milky Way, which exhibits a constant ≈250 − 400 K over ρ = 8 − 25 kpc. The measured column densities may, however, suffer from beam dilution, which we show appears to be the case for the observations of H I 21-cm emission in which the beam subtends radii of ≳10 kpc. We therefore applied the column density profile of the Milky Way, in addition to the mean of the sample, observed at sufficiently high resolution, and the mean profile for the nearby ∼1012 M⊙ galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations. All of the models yield a peak in the mean spin temperature at similar impact parameters (r ≈ 10 − 15 kpc) as the measured column densities. These radii are similar to those of the spiral arms where H II regions are often concentrated. We therefore suggest that the elevated spin temperatures trace the H II regions observed in the outer disc of many spiral galaxies.
