This document discusses heat transfer enhancement of a solar flat plate collector using nanofluids. It summarizes the basic principles of solar radiation and heat transfer, different types of active and passive solar water heating systems, and prior research on combined heat transfer of convection and radiation. The paper then describes modeling and CFD analysis conducted to investigate simultaneous heat transfer by convection and radiation between parallel plates of a solar collector. Results show that efficiency is highest for a 5mm thick collector plate using TiO2 nanofluid, as it allows for maximum absorption of radiation. Thinner plates resulted in higher temperatures, heat fluxes, and overall heat transfer rates.
heat transfer through fins
This document discusses heat transfer through fins. It describes how fins are used to increase heat transfer from a surface by increasing surface area. Different types of fins are described, including straight, annular, and trapezoidal fins. The document discusses how fin performance is evaluated using effectiveness, efficiency, and overall surface efficiency. It presents results on the effects of flow rate on heat transfer, showing that heat transfer increases with increasing flow rate. The conclusion states that rectangular fins have the highest heat transfer but also the highest pressure drop, while plain fins have the lowest heat transfer but also the lowest pressure drop.

This document discusses weather map symbols and diagrams used by meteorologists. It defines common weather front symbols like cold fronts, warm fronts, and stationary fronts. It also defines isobars and precipitation symbols. Weather maps are created using these symbols to show current and predicted weather patterns. Meteorologists gather data and use computers to create weather maps combining the symbols in a station model to forecast weather for the coming weeks. An example precipitation map is also included.
Meteorological discussions
Convection occurs when lighter, warmer air rises and is replaced by heavier, cooler air sinking. To effectively harvest urban heat, wind turbines must be precisely placed where replacement air is entering to take the place of rising warm air. The rising air itself is not causing the wind, but the movement of cooler air into the space left behind. Any distance from this location means the effect dissipates. Harvesting heat in this way may slow the air flow cycle and create unique energy patterns. It could reduce the volume and density of air after energy removal, requiring more air to displace warm air and slowing convection. Heating during the day may return air flow to normal patterns or cause higher pressure over cities. Some heated air energy may conduct

This document discusses a study assessing Borda-Carnot losses that occur between the outlet of a tidal turbine's draft tube and the inlet of the bulb unit. The study will use coupled near-field and far-field CFD models to analyze the interaction between the diffuser outlet and estuary flow, and perform laboratory experiments to validate CFD results. The PhD project timeframe includes refining CFD models of Borda-Carnot losses affecting turbine efficiency over an 18-month period.
ÖNCEL AKADEMİ: INTRODUCTION TO SEISMOLOGY
The document discusses earthquake occurrence and catalogs. It introduces the Gutenberg-Richter law which states that the number of earthquakes decreases exponentially with magnitude. Complete earthquake catalogs are desirable as they are homogeneous, complete, cover a long duration, and source material is available online. Stable continental regions have low seismicity that follows the Gutenberg-Richter relationship, with an earthquake of magnitude 6.5 expected once a decade for a particular region. Students are assigned homework to analyze earthquake data from Saudi Arabia and establish the Gutenberg-Richter relationship for the region.
Extreme engineering for fighting climate change and the Katabata project
The document proposes several extreme engineering solutions to address climate change, including a global electricity grid, harvesting wind energy from southeast Greenland, and direct air carbon capture with the captured CO2 used to produce synthetic green fuels. It summarizes a project called Katabata that installed three weather stations in southeast Greenland to measure wind speeds, finding that a regional model accurately simulated observed winds. It outlines a proposal for remote renewable energy hubs that use solar and direct air capture to produce green methane for shipping to consumption centers.

Northern Europe experiences wetter summers when the Atlantic Ocean is warmer due to a cyclical pattern of ocean temperatures called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. The researchers compared weather conditions during past warm and cool phases of this cycle and found that warm Atlantic phases favor milder springs, summers, and autumns for England and Europe, along with wetter than usual conditions in northern and central Europe but drier than normal weather for southern Europe. This pattern is expected to continue as long as the Atlantic remains warmer than usual.

1. The document contains announcements about math reviews and geography topics like maps, GIS, remote sensing, and systems.
2. It discusses how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and estimated its diameter accurately. It also notes that Columbus was not such a rebel after all.
3. The document explains open and closed systems and how the presence or absence of inputs and outputs determines if a system is open or closed. It provides examples like the water, carbon, and rock cycles.
Dilution Over Treated Fields
1) Field studies from 2015 show that tarped surfaces increase heat storage over treated fields, reducing heat loss at night and mitigating worst-case nocturnal inversion conditions. This can increase atmospheric dilution over fields by 12-70% compared to bare ground.
2) Monitoring of heat and turbulent intensity shows increased vertical dispersion and lower stability on-fields compared to off-fields, supporting refinement of modeling to account for surface influences.
3) Further flux and meteorological research is needed to fully characterize the effects of applied surfaces and irrigation on atmospheric conditions and dilution over fields.

The document summarizes a project studying heat transfer across the Hrossatungur gabbro intrusion in Iceland. The 3-year project aims to evaluate magma-water interaction at the base of geothermal systems. It uses the exposed Hafnarfjall-Skarðsheiði central volcano as a pilot study. Valuable information was gathered on extreme temperature intrusion-related geothermal systems. The dissimilar contacts of the gabbro demonstrate the differences between conductive and direct water-magma heat transfer. Renewed groundwater against an intrusion can develop an efficient convective heat transfer mechanism.

The document summarizes testing and analysis of a plate coil cooling system for the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope. Key findings from testing a prototype plate coil included that actual heat loads were 23% higher than modeled, and ambient temperatures were consistently higher than the plate coil surface temperature. Recommendations included using a single piping material, collecting more weather data, performing late night tests, and using a larger chiller set to a cooler temperature.
gm counter
The Geiger-Muller counter is a device that detects and measures all types of radiation such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. It consists of a pair of electrodes with a high voltage between them. The gas used is usually helium or argon. When radiation particles enter the chamber, they ionize the gas atoms. This produces electrons that accelerate toward the anode and cause further ionization, creating an avalanche effect. To prevent continuous pulses, quenching is used to stop the successive avalanche amplification, such as by connecting an external resistance or using a specific gas. The electric field strength is calculated based on parameters like the anode voltage, wire and cylinder radii.
electricity generation from waste heat of gas.
Waste heat is by necessity produced both by machines that do work and in other processes that use energy, for example in a refrigerator warming the room air or a combustion engine releasing heat into the environment.
The need for many systems to reject heat as a by-product of their operation is fundamental to the laws of thermodynamics. Waste heat has lower utility (or in thermodynamics lexicon a lower exergy or higher entropy) than the original energy source.

The document describes the development of the Re-Entry Simulator Tool (REST) to calculate the trajectory and landing area of the YES2 satellite. REST models parameters like atmospheric density, wind, gravity, and heat flux. Simulations using REST show that re-entry conditions like velocity and flight path angle affect the landing area. Recommendations to minimize the landing area include cutting the tether in apogee during descent, a steeper flight angle, re-entry between midnight and 3 am on June 21st during solar minimum.
Abstract2
This thesis aims to analyze flight data from the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) reentry to better understand how flight conditions affect catalytic behavior and surface temperatures. Two catalytic patches were placed on panels to record surface temperatures during reentry. Ground tests will be performed to determine the thermal transfer function between real and measured surface temperatures. Results will be compared to pre-flight calculations, where discrepancies may require tuning computational fluid dynamics models, such as the catalytic factor under different conditions. The Plasmatron facility will test material samples to determine the catalytic transfer function, using instrumentation like infrared cameras, pyrometers, radiometers, thermocouples, and heat flux calorimeters.

This document discusses supersymmetric dark matter and its potential detection by the IceCube neutrino observatory. It introduces the neutralino as a dark matter candidate particle arising from supersymmetry. Neutralinos could accumulate in celestial bodies like the Sun due to gravitational interactions and weak/gravitational forces. Their annihilation could produce neutrino signals detectable by IceCube. The document outlines scans of the parameter space of the MSSM-25 supersymmetric model to identify regions favored by dark matter relic density and predict event rates and likelihoods for IceCube. The goal is to interpret any neutrino signals IceCube detects in terms of supersymmetric dark matter models.
Analyzing Sound in Misfits
Misfits is a British science fiction comedy-drama television show that premiered in 2009. It has an opening theme song called "Echoes" by The Rapture. The sounds used throughout the show, such as in action scenes, are recorded, downloaded from online sources, or created in post-production and enhanced to build tension. Both diagetic and non-diagetic sounds are used to set the scene, mood, and bring the action to life in an entertaining way according to the analysis.

This document discusses developing a pressure balance watt balance to redefine the kilogram in terms of the Planck constant. It would use two pressure balances in weighing mode for force comparison and oscillating coil motion in dynamic mode. Research is underway to improve pressure balance performance, measure coil motion and induced voltage, design magnets, and address ground vibration issues. The goal is to have an operational pressure balance watt balance by mid-2013 to contribute results in advance of a 2014 international dataset compilation.

Soosalu askja 2007_seismic_project_scientific_report
The Askja 2007 Seismic Project deployed 22 seismic stations in Iceland's Askja volcanic region from July to August 2007. Over 250 lower-crustal earthquakes were recorded below the Askja caldera, more than double the number detected in 2006. Shallow earthquakes within the caldera appear related to a magma chamber at 3 km depth. Additionally, over 1,700 lower-crustal earthquakes occurred below Upptyppingar mountain 20 km east of Askja from a previously unknown seismic zone. Ten stations were left through the winter to continue monitoring seismic activity in the region.
Antartica by judy flores
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, highest, driest, and iciest continent on Earth. It has an average elevation of over 8,000 feet and receives less than 2 inches of precipitation per year. Antarctica is surrounded by ocean, which prevents the moderating effect of water and contributes to its extremely cold temperatures, with recorded lows of -129°F. Several nations operate research stations staffed by scientists year-round to study the environment, climate, and wildlife such as penguins and whales. Tourists can visit Antarctica by ship for short trips during the summer.
Historic Firsts in Polar Regions 1.ppt
NASA established several firsts for polar communications and satellite links between Antarctica and the continental US in the 1980s. This included the first commercial satellite links from Black Island, Antarctica in 1983-1984 and establishing the first satellite data link from the South Pole station later in 1984 using existing polar-orbiting science satellites. In the 1990s and 2000s, NASA expanded these efforts to the Arctic, achieving milestones like the first satellite phone call between the North and South Poles in 1999 and conducting the first live webcasts from the Arctic in 1999. NASA has continued using satellite technologies to support research in polar regions, including using autonomous robots in Antarctica and Greenland.
MOSAiC – The International Arctic Drift Expedition
The MOSAiC expedition will conduct the first year-long drift through the central Arctic while frozen into sea ice. Over 500 people from over 20 countries will work on the expedition to study the Arctic climate. The research icebreaker Polarstern will drift with the ice for a full year starting in September 2019, accompanied by other icebreakers and research aircraft at different times. The multidisciplinary research will improve understanding of Arctic climate processes, feedbacks, and linkages to lower latitudes to advance climate models and projections of future Arctic and global climate change.
Historic NASA Firsts in Polar Communications 1.ppt
NASA established several firsts in polar communications between 1983-1999:
- In 1983-1984, the first commercial satellite links were set up in Antarctica for voice and data. NASA then used polar-orbiting science satellites to establish the first satellite communications across Antarctica and from the South Pole.
- In 1984, NASA used an aging geosynchronous satellite to enable the first phone calls and emails from the South Pole daily.
- Between 1988-1999, NASA conducted several pioneering missions in Antarctica and the Arctic including the first long duration scientific balloon launches from Antarctica in 1988, satellite-enabled telemedicine to the South Pole in 1999, and the first pole-to-pole phone call between the South and North Poles
Thermally anomalous features in the subsurface of Enceladus’s south polar ter...
Saturn’s moon Enceladus is an active world. In 2005, the
Cassini spacecraft witnessed for the first time water-rich
jets venting from four anomalously warm fractures (called
sulci) near its south pole1,2. Since then, several observations
have provided evidence that the source of the material
ejected from Enceladus is a large underground ocean, the
depth of which is still debated3–6. Here, we report on the first
and only opportunity that Cassini’s RADAR instrument7,8 had
to observe Enceladus’s south polar terrain closely, targeting
an area a few tens of kilometres north of the active sulci.
Detailed analysis of the microwave radiometry observations
highlights the ongoing activity of the moon. The instrument
recorded the microwave thermal emission, revealing a warm
subsurface region with prominent thermal anomalies that
had not been identified before. These anomalies coincide with
large fractures, similar or structurally related to the sulci. The
observations imply the presence of a broadly distributed heat
production and transport system below the south polar terrain
with ‘plate-like’ features and suggest that a liquid reservoir
could exist at a depth of only a few kilometres under the
ice shell at the south pole. The detection of a possible dormant
sulcus further suggests episodic geological activity.
South Pole.pdf
The document provides information about various south poles:
- The Geographic South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth where the southern axis meets the surface in Antarctica.
- The Geomagnetic South Pole is located near the Geographic North Pole due to the Earth's offset magnetic field.
- The Magnetic South Pole moves over time as the Earth's molten core shifts and is currently estimated to be in East Antarctica.
- Other south poles discussed include the Ceremonial South Pole marker at the research station and the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility, the farthest point from the Southern Ocean.
SpaceApps 2022 - Ishtar Terra or Bust
This document proposes a solution for powering exploration of Venus using an aerostat with solar panels in the upper atmosphere. The extreme conditions on Venus' surface have limited past probes to just a few hours. The upper atmosphere has closer to Earth-normal pressure and temperature, allowing solar panels to efficiently power explorations for longer periods by transmitting power to surface missions or aircraft via radio waves. Mounting panels on a tethered aerostat addresses the problem of powering exploration of Venus.
Tp climate change-101-2
The document discusses several topics related to climate change, including natural climate oscillations, urban heat islands, land use changes, temperature proxy records, and measurements of land and ocean temperatures. It questions the reliability of some temperature proxy records and surface temperature measurements, and argues that climate models likely overestimate the warming effects of increased CO2 levels.
Understanding Artic Climate Evolution
The document discusses the Lake El'gygytgyn Drilling Project in NE Russia and what it means for understanding Arctic climate evolution. Some key points:
- The project recovered a 3.6 million year continuous sediment record from a meteorite impact crater lake, the most continuous terrestrial record in the Arctic.
- Preliminary results show periods of sustained summer warming around 15-16°C during the mid-Pliocene with 3 times more precipitation than today.
- Evidence was also found of 17 interglacial periods in the Arctic that could be linked to times of Antarctic ice retreat.
- The transition from a warm, forested Arctic to glacial onset between 2.4-2

A large impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland
We report the discovery of a large impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland. From airborne radar surveys, we identify a 31-kilometer-wide, circular bedrock depression beneath up to a kilometer of ice. This depression has an elevated rim that cross-cuts tributary subglacial channels and a subdued central uplift that appears to be actively eroding. From ground investigations of the deglaciated foreland, we identify overprinted structures within Precambrian bedrock along the ice margin that strike tangent to the subglacial rim. Glaciofluvial sediment from the largest river draining the crater contains shocked quartz and other impact- related grains. Geochemical analysis of this sediment indicates that the impactor was a fractionated iron aster- oid, which must have been more than a kilometer wide to produce the identified crater. Radiostratigraphy of the ice in the crater shows that the Holocene ice is continuous and conformable, but all deeper and older ice appears to be debris rich or heavily disturbed. The age of this impact crater is presently unknown, but from our geological and geophysical evidence, we conclude that it is unlikely to predate the Pleistocene inception of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Climate history of the Earth
This document discusses climate archives and how they are used to study past climate changes. It explains that climate archives like ice cores, ocean sediments, tree rings, and corals contain information about climate variations over time recorded in their layers of deposition. Different types of archives provide climate data at varying resolutions depending on factors like accumulation rates. The document outlines various climate proxies, such as oxygen isotope ratios and carbon isotopes, that can be measured in these archives to indirectly infer past temperature and environmental conditions. It also discusses challenges and uncertainties in interpreting climate records as well as findings of past climate cycles from proxy evidence.
Northern larsen ice shelf Antarctica: further retreat after collapse
This document discusses changes to glaciers and ice shelves in northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Antarctica after the collapse of parts of the ice shelf in 1995. It finds that large glaciers retreated several kilometers inland from their previous grounding lines after losing the back pressure from the ice shelves. Interferometry showed the main glacier in the area, Drygalski Glacier, accelerated its flow speed up to three times over 4 years after ice shelf collapse. Other grounded glaciers also saw accelerations, suggesting ice shelf collapse could contribute to sea level rise. The document also documents further retreat of Larsen B ice shelf through October 2000.

Carbon nanotubes are grown using chemical vapor deposition with a metal catalyst particle. Simulations show the carbon nanotube cap controls the chirality and diameter of the grown nanotube. For a nanotube to lift off and grow, the radius of the catalyst particle must be within a specific range determined by the particle's contact angle. The energetics of cap formation and lift off can be modeled and show good agreement with molecular dynamics simulations. Understanding how the cap detaches from the particle may allow controlling the chirality of the grown carbon nanotube.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
