Comfort Indices

2015, 2016 and 2017 have been confirmed the three warmest years on record and the degree of warming during these three years has been exceptional. Extremes of heat and cold environmental conditions have been known to be very detrimental to the health and comfort of humans. The severity of these adverse effects is often local and varies from one place to another though they are happening on a global scale therefore Temperature variation, Heat Index (HI) temperature and Dew Point Temperature (DPT) ( Meteorological comfort indices) were used to assess the effect of this condition in southwest, Nigeria. Air temperature and Humidity data were collected from meteorological stations situated in the southwestern states selected for study and was processed using the rule of Thumb for DPT calculations and Steadman (1979) formula simplified by Rothfusz’ model (1990) for HI temperature. The data analysis was done using Microsoft Excel Package and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), the following results were obtained: Elevation may affect temperature yet during extreme warmness other factors can have a greater influence on temperature and meteorological comfort indices used to assess extreme warmness in southwest Nigeria from this study showed greater impacts thus: Heat Index Temperature has highest values in Lagos State, while Dew Point Temperature have highest values in Ogun state. None of these extreme warmness measuring variables seem to be solely in favour of state Location in terms of coordinates and elevation; this suggests more anthropogenic influence forming the characteristics of the states to geographic locations of the states however, between the start year of extreme warmness (2015) and 2017, HI temperature showed a significant increase while average DPT did not really change during the period of extreme warmness.

Positive Effect

Cooling towers, or so-called evaporation towers, use the natural effect of water evaporation to dissipate heat in industrial and comfort installations. Water, until it changes its state of aggregation, from liquid to gas, consumes energy (2.257 kJ/kg). By consuming this energy, it lowers the air temperature to the wet-bulb temperature, thanks to which the medium can be cooled below the ambient temperature. Evaporative solutions are characterized by continuous water evaporation (approx. 1.5% of the total water flow) and low electricity consumption (high EER). Evaporative (adiabatic) cooling also has a positive effect on the reduction of electricity consumption of cooled machines. Lowering the relative humidity (RH) by approx. 2% lowers the wet-bulb temperature by approx. 0.5°C, which increases the efficiency of the tower, operating in an open circuit, expressed in kW, by approx. 5%, while reducing water consumption and treatment costs. The use of the M-Cycle (Maisotsenko cycle) to lower the temperature of the wet thermometer to the dew point temperature will reduce operating costs and increase the efficiency of cooled machines.

In the current study, the ability of three data-driven methods of Gene Expression Programming (GEP), M5 model tree (M5), and Support Vector Regression (SVR) were investigated in order to model and estimate the dew point temperature (DPT) at Tabriz station, Iran. For this purpose, meteorological parameters of daily average temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), actual vapor pressure (Vp), wind speed (W), and sunshine hours (S) were obtained from the meteorological organization of East Azerbaijan province, Iran for the period 1998 to 2016. Following this, the methods mentioned above were examined by defining 15 different input combinations of meteorological parameters. Additionally, root mean square error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R2) were implemented to analyze the accuracy of the proposed methods. The results showed that the GEP-10 method, using three input parameters of T, RH, and S, with RMSE of 0.96°, the SVR-5, using two input parameters of T and RH, with RMSE of 0.44, and M5-15, using five input parameters of T, RH, Vp, W, and S with RMSE of 0.37 present better performance in the estimation of the DPT. As a conclusion, the M5-15 is recommended as the most precise model in the estimation of DPT in comparison with other considered models. As a conclusion, the obtained results proved the high capability of proposed M5 models in DPT estimation.

Stack Gas

The baking industry is considered as one of the major energy consuming food industries in North America. More than 40% of bakery fuel consumption is used to evaporate water in the processes [1]. In addition to the baking process’ vapor the oven stack gas contains water vapor from combustion products. Overall the content of water vapor in the typical oven stack gas is about 20% by volume. Most bakeries waste this vapor and its latent heat. Bakeries’ ovens have wide diversity in power and design. Off-the-shelve heat exchangers are not considered as cost effective equipment for stack gas cooling below gas’ dew point temperature. At typical oven stack gas composition water vapor condensation begins to condense at about 72° C. Not using the latent heat of stack water vapor and the heat from gas cooling from dew point temperature to ambient temperature results in low effectiveness of waste heat recovery. Mainly the effect from the recovery of stack gas cooling prior to condensation is considered as non cost effective and waste heat recovery is neglected.
