Cell Average

The theoretical formulation presented in this abridged paper was developed to predict the transient cell average temperature of a lithium-based cell during its discharge in dark, extremely low material density surroundings where the predominant mechanism of heat exchange between its shroud surface and surroundings is the thermal radiation process for a given cell discharge current and its initial temperature. The average computed temperature of an ideal lithium-based button cell, such as Li(s)/electrolyte/CF(s), is presented as a function of time in the form of plots at two discharge currents as an example of the application of the derived formulation. The presented data are briefly discussed in light of the lithium-based cell component stability and its safe discharge operation.

Gamelan is traditional musical instrument that evolves especially in Bali, its function is to accompany the religious and cultural ceremonies of Hindus. The making process of gamelan, smelting bronze alloys, is done by using traditional furnaces. The use of charcoal as fuel in smelting process causes melting furnace performance is difficult to determine. That condition impacts the effectiveness of the smelting process especially in determining the needs of fuel and the processing time. Therefore, it influences the productivity of crafters. This research was conducted to test the performance of the furnace in accordance with a design that is commonly used by artisans. The observation was done at the temperature of melting, melting time, data retrieval was conducted repeatedly three times on different days. Based on the analysis and observation in accordance with the experimental design made whereby in the smelting process to achieve the casting temperature indicated as follows. The average temperature of smelting is 730,8 °C, fuel use is 23 kg, melting time is 39.76 minutes as well as the efficiency of the furnace 36.80%. Based on the analysis conducted, low efficiency is due to the surface of the furnace which is designed open, so that during the energy generated in the process of burning a lot of fuel wasted into the environment.

In this paper, a paraffin heat storage ball whose diameter is 100mm is the research object. Two mathematical models of paraffin melting process are established respectively when the natural convection of liquid phase of paraffin is considered and ignored. The melting process of paraffin heat storage ball which initial temperature is 290K is simulated by using the solidification/melting model of FLUENT. Through analyzing the temperature distribution of the ball and proportion of solid-liquid phase in the ball in the melting process at a certain time, studying the time history of the proportion of liquid phase in the ball and the time history of the average temperature of the paraffin, we can find that the natural convection of liquid phase of paraffin can not be ignored in the melting process of paraffin heat storage ball whose diameter is 100mm.

An important ingredient for studying non-equilibrium evolution of partons at RHIC and LHC is to have physical initial conditions for the partonic system. In this paper we investigate the initial conditions with chemical non-equilibrium at RHIC. Considering the parton production, we studied evolution of the partonic medium with chemical non-equilibrium toward a fully equilibrated partonic system. By using a set of rate equations which describe the chemical equilibration of gluons and quarks, and putting different initial conditions, we obtained the transverse energy production dET/dy and particle multiplicities dN/dy. Comparing the experimental data of dET/dy and dN/dy with numerical results, we get following initial conditions for the formation of partonic system: the initial temperature is around 550 MeV and the initial fugacity λg is from 0.4 to 0.75. It is shown that, until the partonic medium freezes out the partonic system hasn't been totally chemical equilibrated.

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) is one of the most important devices for electricity generation from Wind Energy, and design of new blades has become a fundamental research field to improve the efficiency and to reduce cost of this system. This article presents a preliminary comparison between two micro Wind Turbines (WT), one with standard blades and another one with Wavy Leading Edge (WLE) morphology, inspired by the flippers of the humpback whale, to work at low-speed wind conditions. To perform a correct validation, the authors propose a four steps approach for the design, manufacture and test of a WT. First, the design of the blade, followed by the design of the Wind Turbine (WT). Next step is the manufacture of two functional models, one with WLE and another with standard blades, to make a relative comparison, and, finally, the acquisition of real-time data from these systems for the corresponding analysis in terms of energy generation. Results show that the WLE has an increase of over 20% in energy production in all the tests that were performed, with respect to the standard blade.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to establish a new temperature set for characterizing the frictional temperature rise (FTR) of disc brakes. The FTR produced by braking is an important factor which directly affects the tribological properties of disc brakes. Presently, most existing researches characterize the FTR only by several static parameters such as average temperature or maximum temperature, which cannot reflect accurately the dynamic characteristics of temperature variation in the process of braking. In this paper, a new temperature parameter set was extracted and the influences of braking conditions on these parameters were investigated by experiments. Design/methodology/approach – First, several simulated braking experiments of disc brakes were conducted to reveal the dynamic variation rules and mechanisms of the FTR in braking. Second, the characteristic parameter subset of the FTR was extracted with five significant parameters, namely, initial temperature, average temperature, end temperature, maximum temperature and the ratio of maximum temperature time. Furthermore, the fitting parameter subset of the FTR was constructed based on the temperature rise curve. Finally, the influence and mechanisms of initial braking velocity and braking pressure on the new temperature parameter set were investigated through braking experiments. Findings – This paper extracted a new temperature parameter set including a characteristic parameter subset and a fitting parameter subset and revealed the influences of braking conditions on it by experiments. Originality/value – The results showed that the new temperature parameter set extracted in this paper can characterize the dynamic characteristics of disc brake’s FTR variations more objectively and comprehensively. The research results will provide a theoretical basis for extracting the fault feature of friction properties.

This study is focused on energy production in Albania which involves different types of infrastructure at the various points of the energy production and distribution chain, as well as monitoring and early warning systems. At a time of rapid climate change, estimating the appropriate dimensions and design of such infrastructure and systems becomes crucial. The main objective is to analyze the seasonality pattern and main external climacteric factors, such as precipitation, average temperature, and water inflow. This work deals with the seasonality patterns of climacteric factors affecting energy production and considers different statistical learning methods for prediction.

A study was conducted with a photovoltaic distributed generation system in São Luís, Brazil, to determine the influence of meteorological variables on the generation of energy. The methodology is composed of three stages: the first corresponds to the obtaining, organization, and treatment of the data; the second involves the application of mathematical models to determine the yield, operating temperature, nominal power, and estimated power; and the third is to generate the correlations obtained between the monitored climatic variables, whether on an hourly, daily, monthly, or annual scale. For an average temperature of 27.50ºC in March, it was verified that the ultraviolet radiation was 5.06, while the average of the total radiation was 481.01 W.m-2. The maximum peak temperature was 27.88°C at noon, while the ultraviolet radiation was 8.55 and total radiation was 794.97 W.m-2. At this average temperature variation of 0.38°C, there is a variation of 313.96 W.m-2. It is concluded that, because São Luís is very close to the equator, the conditions to produce the system are favorable, mainly because, on average, there were no abrupt changes in temperature and radiation for the period studied. Even in the wintry period, the production behaved within the parameters designed.
