Rice flour as a heat insulator for learning media for students with special needs

The objective of this study was to determine the use of rice flour as a heat insulator for learning media for students with special needs. Experiments were done method by testing rice flour placed on the wall that heat radiated by bulb lamp with various intensities (i.e. 8, 10, and 12 W). The results showed that rice flour is a good heat insulator. This is confirmed by the test results using thermocouple tools showing a decrease in temperature of the insulator testing toolbox. The rice flour caused the heat from the lamp inside the box to be restrained from spreading out completely. The concept of heat radiation and the change of heat adsorbed by rice flour was explained, which can be further developed for learning media for students with special needs. The results of this study are expected to facilitate teachers in providing understanding to students in understanding the occurrence of heat insulators, especially for students with special needs.

Multi-physics coupling simulation of electrode induction melting gas atomization for advanced titanium alloys powder preparation

A numerical modeling method is proposed for the melting process of Titanium metals of Titanium alloys powder preparation used for 3D printing. The melting process simulation, which involves the tight coupling between electromagnetic field, thermal field and fluid flow as well as deformation associated during the melting process, is conducted by adopting the finite element method. A two-way coupling strategy is used to include the interactions between these fields by incorporating the material properties dependent on temperature and the coupling terms. In addition, heat radiation and phase change are also considered in this paper. The arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian formulation is exploited to model the deformation of Titanium metal during the melting process. The distribution of electromagnetic flux density, eddy current density, temperature, and fluid flow velocity at different time can be determined by utilizing this numerical method. In a word, the method proposed in this paper provides a general way to predict the melting process of electrode induction melting gas atomization (EIGA) dynamically, and it also could be used as a reference for the design and optimization of EIGA.

Nonlinear heating system of modular-trigger and platform furnaces for firing bulk materials

The design of the suspended nonlinear heating system of modular-trigger and platform furnaces for firing vermiculite and other bulk materials is considered. Previously, the design of linear heating systems did not provide homogeneous heating of thermographed materials, the material in the clutch zones suffered sufficient thermal energy. In addition, overheating of the central zone increased the frequency of the impact of the heaters themselves, which affected the reliability of the furnace. The use of a nonlinear heating system has changed this distribution to the opposite. The power of the intuboxic heater exceeded the power of the central 1,2‒1,36 times depending on the ratio of the diameters of thin and thick (diameter of 4 mm) of the heaters. At the same time, not only their electrical power increased, but the heat radiation streams, falling onto the surface of the supply, which led to an increase in the temperature of the material being processed. The obtained values of the temperature of the vermiculite grains in the fitted zones of the firing module exceed the temperature of the vermiculite in the central zone by 26 %, while it is sufficient for high-quality material intimidation. Due to the use of nonlinear heating system, temperatures were redistributed on heated surfaces in favor of relatively cold previously intuition zones: the heat picture has changed to the opposite, that is, the cold cloth zones have become relatively hot.

Irreversibility Analysis for Eyring–Powell Nanoliquid Flow Past Magnetized Riga Device with Nonlinear Thermal Radiation

The report contained in this article is based on entropy generation for a reactive Eyring–Powell nanoliquid transfer past a porous vertical Riga device. In the developed model, the impacts of viscous dissipation, thermophoresis alongside nonlinear heat radiation and varying heat conductivity are modelled into the heat equation. The dimensionless transport equations are analytically tackled via Homotopy analysis method while the computational values of chosen parameters are compared with the Galerkin weighted residual method. Graphical information of the various parameters that emerged from the model are obtained and deliberated effectively. The consequences of this study are that the temperature field expands with thermophoresis, Brownian motion and temperature ratio parameters as the modified Hartmann number compels a rise in the velocity profile. The entropy generation rises with an uplift in fluid material term as well as Biot and Eckert numbers whereas Bejan number lessens with Darcy and Eckert parameters.

Intelligent detection method of abnormal state of power equipment based on infrared and visible image information

Infrared thermal imaging cameras are usually used to detect the thermal state of the equipment. According to the heat radiation situation and temperature value emitted by the equipment, the thermal failure of the equipment is inferred, and whether the equipment is working is verified properly. This paper analyzes the thermal imaging principle of infrared technology and the characteristics of infrared images, and quantifies the surface temperature indicators of insulators. Through infrared and visible light image information, the pollution degree of insulators can be detected, and the abnormal condition of the equipment can be checked. The evaporation of moisture on the surface of the insulator mainly depends on the assumption that the surface heats up. A method for analyzing heat on the surface of wet-contaminated insulators is proposed, and the judgment conditions for arc generation in the drying zone and the drying zone and the heating models of the insulators in different operating conditions are established. The computer simulation results reveal the distribution of heat on the surface of insulators under different operating conditions, and the influence of the occurrence of drying zone and drying zone arc on leakage current and heating. The infrared thermal imaging test results of wet-contaminated insulators show that the model is reasonable and provides theoretical support for infrared thermal imaging detection of insulator contamination levels.

Study on Passive Heating Involving Firewalls with an Additional Sunlight Room in Rural Residential Buildings

With the growth in China’s economic GDP, energy consumption has increased year by year. The energy demand of rural residential buildings is 223 million tons of standard coal equivalent, accounting for 24% of the national energy demand. Therefore, an energy-saving design for rural residences is necessary. This research took the traditional residences in southern Shaanxi as the research object and combined the cooking methods in southern Shaanxi with solar heating, proposing a sunlight heating system with an additional firewall. The system is composed of a firewall system and a sunlight system. The combination of the two systems prolongs the heating time and makes up for the lack of intermittent heating. The firewall principle involves using the heat generated by cooking through the heat storage and heat release capacity of the wall, and using the principle of heat radiation and convection to increase the indoor temperature. Meanwhile, the principle of the additional sunlight room involves using the external facade of the building to establish an additional sunlight room, by absorbing the heat radiation of the sun and using the principle of heat transfer from the wall. The rapid loss of indoor hot air is avoided, the heating time is prolonged, and part of the heat is retained, thereby improving the heating efficiency. A model was established based on the typical residential model in southern Shaanxi, and the presence or absence of solar radiation on the wall was used as the research variable. Using ANSYS software to simulate the analysis, it is concluded that the firewall–sunlight system can extend the heating time and meet the continuous heating demand, and the heating effect is better than that of the firewall heating system alone. When the walls have solar radiation, the annual heat load reduction rate of the buildings under the new system is 20.21%. When the walls do not have solar radiation, the annual heat load reduction rate of the buildings under the new system is 8.56%.
