The article presents a procedure for calculating the thermal parameters of the thermal storage wall and determining its thermal efficiency. To illustrate the thermal efficiency of the thermal storage wall, seven characteristic material solutions were selected for the accumulation layer, nine types of glazing for the collector, two construction profiles for the collector, and two spacer frames in insulating glass. The equivalent heat transfer coefficient defining the thermal efficiency of the thermal storage walls is the most reliable parameter. The results obtained indicate that there are potential possibilities to construct collector accumulation walls with the value of the equivalent heat transfer coefficient Ur < 0.0 W/(m2K) in any facade orientation in any month of the year.

W artykule przedstawiono procedurę określania parametrów cieplnych ściany kolektorowo‑akumulacyjnej i określania jej efektywności cieplnej. W celu zobrazowania efektywności cieplnej takiej ściany wybrano siedem charakterystycznych rozwiązań materiałowych warstwy akumulacyjnej, dziewięć rodzajów przeszklenia kolektora, dwa profile konstrukcyjne kolektora oraz dwie ramki dystansowe w szybach zespolonych.

This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the untapped geothermal potential of Egypt’s Central Eastern Desert, highlighting its viability as a promising contender in the pursuit of sustainable energy resources. Through a rigorous multi-disciplinary approach, we systematically assess the feasibility of deploying geothermal energy in the region, supported by meticulous analysis of diverse data sources, including aeromagnetic and radiometric datasets. Our study identifies two primary sources of heat flow energy: granitic rocks enriched with radioactive minerals and dynamic geological motions. By using techniques such as derivative analysis, power spectra analysis, and heat flow calculations, we evaluate the geothermal potential using aeromagnetic data. The tilted derivative operator enables the detection of geological structures, while Curie depth points (CDPs) provide insights into the geothermal gradient and heat flow maps, revealing the distribution of subsurface heat. Surface heat flow calculations further assess the energy generation potential. Additionally, our analysis incorporates methods to estimate radioactive heat production within geological formations, considering uranium, thorium, and potassium isotopes. The ratios of potassium to thorium and uranium to thorium serve as indicators of hydrothermal alteration zones. The research findings reveal a wide range of heat flow values within the depths of the Curie depth point (CDP), ranging from 200 to 700 W/m2. At the surface, observed heat flow values range from 6 to 22 mW/m2, although relatively lower in magnitude, still hold significant potential for energy production. It is important to acknowledge the contribution of radioactive minerals, as the heat production from these sources ranges from 0 to 35 W/m3. Collectively, these heat sources present viable opportunities for energy extraction, particularly in the area between Safaga and Qusier and the area south of Qusier to Marsa Allam. Surface heat flow and radioactive heat production offer promising prospects for sustainable energy generation.

Regional estimation of Curie-point depth (CPD), subsurface heat flow and geothermal gradients variations in the Shelleng area and environs of northeastern Nigeria was carried out in this study using spectral analysis of high-resolution aeromagnetic (HRAM) data. The HRAM data were divided into nine (9) overlapping blocks and each of the blocks was analyzed to obtain the 2D radially averaged power spectrum which enabled the computation of depths to the top and centroid of magnetic sources. The obtained values were then used to determine the depth to the bottom of magnetic bodies or the CPD, geothermal gradients and crustal heat flow changes in the study area. Results showed that CPD varies from 7.56 ± 0.122 to 18.01 ± 0.324 km, with an average of 11.72 ± 0.166 km; geothermal gradient values vary between 32.20 and 76.72 °C/ km, with an average of 52.76 °C/km, while heat flow variations range from 80.51 to 191.80 mW/m2, with an average of 131.85 mW/m2. Shallow CPD zones identified in the northeastern, western and southwestern portions of the study area correspond to zones of high geothermal gradient values and high subsurface heat flow distributions. These areas signify zones associated with anomalous subsurface thermal conditions and were therefore recommended for further detailed geothermal energy exploration studies.

W artykule opisano wyniki analizy i optymalizacji wybranych parametrów węzła połączenia płyty balkonowej ze ścianą na podstawie modeli matematycznych. Wyniki opierają się na poprzednim badaniu – ocena istotności wpływu 15 różnych czynników, charakteryzujących parametry tego węzła, z których sześć zostały zakwalifikowane jako istotne. W niniejszym badaniu dla istotnych czynników opracowano modele matematyczne zależności temperatury ϑimg (funkcja Y1) w miejscu występowania najniższej temperatury w analizowanym węźle oraz liniowego współczynnika przenikania ciepła ψim (funkcja Y2) mostka termicznego, występującego w tym miejscu, od czynników: X1 – grubość izolacji termicznej górnej części płyty balkonowej; X2 – grubość izolacji termicznej dolnej części płyty balkonowej; X3 – grubość izolacji termicznej górnej części stropu wewnątrz budynku; X4 – grubość izolacji termicznej ściany zewnętrznej; X5 – współczynnik przewodzenia ciepła izolacji termicznej ściany zewnętrznej; X6 – grubość płyty balkonowej. Na podstawie wyników eksperymentu obliczeniowego, uzyskanych na drodze symulacji z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania THERM 7.6 opracowano deterministyczne modele matematyczne tych zależności. Modele pozwoliły oszacować stopień i charakter wpływu badanych czynników na temperaturę ϑimg i liniowy współczynnik przenikania ciepła ψim oraz przeprowadzić optymalizację parametrów. Informacja może być przydatna dla naukowców, inżynierów i decydentów, przy podejmowaniu prawidłowych decyzji na etapie projektowania nowych budynków mieszkalnych.

The article describes the results of the analysis and optimization of selected parameters of the junction between the balcony slab an he wall based on a mathematical model. The results are based on a previous study after assessing the significance of the influence of 15 different factors characterizing the parameters of this node, from which 6 significant ones were selected. In this study, mathematical models of the dependence of the temperature ϑimg (function Y1) at the location of the lowest temperature in the analyzed node and the linear heat transfer coefficient ψim (function Y2) of the thermal bridge occurring in this location on the following factors were developed for important factors: X1 – thermal insulation thickness the upper part of the balcony slab; X2 – thickness of thermal insulation of the lower part of the balcony slab; X3 – thickness of thermal insulation of the upper part of the ceiling inside the building; X4 – thickness of thermal insulation of the external wall; X5 – thermal conductivity coefficient of external wall thermal insulation; X6 – thickness of the balcony slab. Based on the results of the computational experiment obtained by simulation using THERM 7.6 software, deterministic mathematical models of these relationships were developed. The models made it possible to estimate the degree and nature of the influence of the studied factors on temperature ϑimg and linear heat transfer coefficient ψim, and optimize the parameters. The information may be useful for scientists, engineers and decision-makers when making correct decisions at the stage of designing new residential buildings.

In this paper, analytical solutions are presented for temperature and thermal behavior of a thermosensitive multilayered annular disc due to point heat source. Convective heating is applied to both the innermost and outermost layers. The nonlinearity of the thermal diffusivity equation is dealt using Kirchhoff’s transformation technique. A finite integral transform in the form of Bessel’s function is used to deal with the radial variable r. Fourier transform and angular eigen functions are also used to solve the thermal diffusivity equation. Deflection, resultant forces, shearing forces, resultant moments and thermal stresses are obtained. A mathematical representation is formulated for a 3-layered disc, with the inner, middle and outer layers composed of copper, zinc and aluminum respectively. The results are depicted graphically.

In this study, an interactive analysis combined measurements of surface radiogenic heat production (RHP) and sub-surface heat flow data to predict the crustal thermal regime of the area. The radioactive decay of 40 K, 232Th and 238U radionuclides in combination with other processes generate a significant quantity of heat within the earth’s crust which can be utilized to produce green energy. Statistical analysis involving a box-whisker plot was used to optimize the generated RHP data with median RHP value of each lithologic unit presented as 3.2 gW m-3 (diorite), 2.9 gW m-3 (granodiorite), 3.1 gW m-3 (granite) and 2.7 gW m-3 (quartzdiorite). The results are in tandem with similar studies around the globe and are in near approximation to measurements that depict high heat production character. Heat generation predictions were extrapolated from the RHP values and displayed in percentile plots. The study showed that quartzdiorite presented the largest variation (from 5.2740 to 8.7185 HGU) in the region, followed by granite (from 6.1127 to 8.7445 HGU), then diorite (from 6.499 to 8.8975 HGU) and granodiorite (from 5.9870 to 8.3762 HGU). Heat flow measurements in 12 site holes within the granitoid emplacement showed averaged values of 48.5, 40.9, 48.5 and 28.9 mW m-2 for diorite, granodiorite, granite and quartzdiorite plutons, respectively. The analyzed thermal properties in this study suggest that the surface plutons are not deep-seated. An explanation for the high thermal condition of the deep-seated crustal rocks was adduced to tectonic events that distributed radioelements into reactivated inter-rift crustal blocks.

The aim of the study is to analyze photothermal and photochemical phenomena that occur during photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this type of therapy, under the influence of the laser, reactions take place related to the transformation of triplet oxygen form into its singlet form which is cytotoxic to the tissue. The increases in temperature resulting from the laser-tissue interaction during PDT are not big; however, they can lead to changes in tissue perfusion, which can affect oxygen delivery to the tissue. The proposed model uses optical diffusion equation, Pennes bioheat transfer equation, and reactions equations for PDT. The main findings of the analysis show the impact of temperature on the value of the perfusion coefficient and triplet oxygen distributions at the end of the treatment procedure.

A pulsation heat pipe is an efficient heat pipe used in many engineering applications. This study aims to test the effect of working fluids on the thermal performance of pulsation heat pipe. Seven turned pulsation heat pipes were designed and manufactured from a copper pipe with a 3.5 mm inner diameter. The lengths of an evaporation part, an adiabatic passage, and a condenser part were 300 mm, 210 mm, and 300 mm, respectively. In this study, three different fluids were used as the working fluid: distilled water, methanol, and binary fluid (a mixture of water and methanol) with a 50% filling ratio. Compared to water, the experimental results suggested that methanol had a better thermal performance when used as a working fluid in the PHP. On the other hand, a binary fluid enhanced the lower thermal performance of water (29% reduction in the thermal resistance and a 20% increase in the effective thermal conductivity of the PHP).

Mathematical modeling of a thin circular plate has been made by considering a nonlocal Caputo type time fractional heat conduction equation of order […], by the action of a moving heat source. Physically convective heat exchange boundary conditions are applied at lower, upper and outer curved surface of the plate. Temperature distribution and thermal deflection has been investigated by a quasi-static approach in the context of fractional order heat conduction. The integral transformation technique is used to analyze the analytical solution to the problem. Numerical computation including the effect of the fractional order parameter has been done for temperature and deflection and illustrated graphically for an aluminum material.

In this paper currents requirements of HVAC designing (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) in railway vehicles have been presented. The data were based on railway standards [1, 2]. The aim of this study was to carry out the numerical calculation of airflow combined with heat exchange in a passenger coach. ANSYS CFX 12.1 software was used to carry out the simulation. Two cases of boundary conditions were considered, the first obtained from design calculations common for ordinary buildings and information included in standards and the second only based on the information included in standards. After analysing of the results, it was found that the distribution of air velocity in a coach was similar in both cases, average air velocity was 0.79 m/s. However, the distribution of air temperature was different. For case 1 the average indoor air temperature was 25.07°C and for case 2 was 23.53°C. The method of determining the heat solar gains had a great impact on the results. A further possibility of a model improvement was indicated for example human models will be introduced in coaches, in order to verify the conditions of their thermal comfort, and air recirculation.

On application of fractal magnetization in Curie depth estimation from magnetic anomalies

Vol. 67, no. 5

1319--1327

As an independent geothermal proxy, the Curie-point depth has important geodynamic implications, but its estimation from magnetic anomalies requires an understanding of the spatial correlation of source magnetization, mathematically characterized by a fractal exponent. In this paper, we show that fractal exponent and Curie depth are so strongly inter-connected that attempts to simultaneous or iterative estimation of both of them often turn out to be futile. In cases of true large Curie depths, the iterative “de-fractal” method has a tendency of overcorrecting fractal exponents and thereby producing erroneously small Curie depths and smearing out true geological trends. While true fractal exponent can no way be constant over a large area, a regionally fxed fractal exponent is better than any mathematical treatments that are beyond the limit of data resolution and the underlying physics.

In this paper, the aim of this study is to present a reliable combination of the shifted Legendre collocation method to approximate of the problem of free convection boundarylayer flow over a vertical plate as produced by a body force about a flat plate in the direction of the generating body force. The proposed method is based on replacement of the unknown function by truncated series of well known shifted Legendre expansion of functions. An approximate formula of the integer derivative is introduced. Special attention is given to study the convergence analysis and derive an upper bound of the error of the presented approximate formula. The introduced method converts the proposed equation by means of collocation points to a system of algebraic equations with shift Legendre coefficients. Thus, by solving this system of equations, the shifted Legendre coefficients are obtained. Boundary conditions in an unbounded domain, i.e. boundary condition at infinity, pose a problem in general for the numerical solution methods. The obtained results are in good agreement with those provided previously by the iterative numerical method. As a result, without taking or estimating missing boundary conditions, the shifted Legendre collocation method provides a simple, non-iterative and effective way for determining the solutions of nonlinear free convection boundary layer problems possessing the boundary conditions at infinity.

This paper aims to investigate 3D static thermoelectroelastic problem of a uniform heat flow in a bi-material periodically layered space disturbed by a thermally and electrically-insulated rigid sheet-like inclusion (so-called anticrack) situated at one of the interfaces. An approximate analysis of the considered laminated composite is given in the framework of the homogenized model with microlocal parameters. Accurate results are obtained by constructing suitable potential solutions and reducing to the corresponding homogeneous thermoelectromechanical (or thermomechanical) anticrack problems. The governing boundary integral equation for a planar interface anticrack of arbitrary shape is derived in terms of a normal stress discontinuity. As an illustration, a complete solution for a rigid circular inclusion is obtained in terms of elementary functions and interpreter from the failure perspective. Unlike existing solutions for defects at the interface of materials, the solution obtained displays no oscillatory behavior.

The numerical analysis of thermal damage process proceeding in biological tissue during laser irradiation is presented. Heat transfer in the tissue is assumed to be transient and two-dimensional. The internal heat source resulting from the laser irradiation based on the solution of the diffusion equation is taken into account. The tissue is regarded as a homogeneous domain with perfusion coefficient and effective scattering coefficient treated as dependent on tissue injury. At the stage of numerical realization, the boundary element method and the finite difference method have been used. In the final part of the paper the results of computations are shown.
