Thermally modulated heating is applied to a horizontal channel to analyze its effect on drag reduction using numerical techniques. Periodic heating patterns are applied to the upper and lower walls using a sinusoidal function. The governing equations are solved using MATLAB. Results show that drag reduction is highest when the phase shift between the upper and lower wall heating is zero. Increasing uniform background heating along the walls also increases drag reduction, up to 110% higher for some cases. However, the improvement in drag reduction due to uniform heating is only significant at lower Reynolds numbers and for higher values of uniform heating. Vertical heat transfer, measured by the average Nusselt number, also increases with background heating.
This document discusses formulas for calculating the heating value of coal and coal char based on their composition. It describes the development of several existing formulas and presents the results of tests of four formulas on a database of 775 coal samples. A new formula is developed through regression analysis of the database that shows less bias and a lower standard deviation than the existing formulas tested. The accuracy of the new formula is comparable to a more complex existing formula but does not require determining pyritic sulfur content.
Jules Beersma: Advanced delta change method for time series transformationJiří Šmída
This document presents an advanced delta change method for transforming time series data to assess climate change impacts. It describes applying the method to precipitation data in the Rhine river basin. Key results showed extreme quantiles of 10-day precipitation increasing in the future according to climate models. The advanced delta method produced similar changes to a bias correction method. However, natural variability was found to dominate the uncertainty range, making the climate change signal difficult to determine with confidence.

This document summarizes the design of urban hydraulic structures in Davis, CA, including a drainage channel, gutters, storm sewers, a culvert, and detention pond. The structures are designed to handle peak runoff from a 10-year storm. Runoff from a playing field and school yard enters the drainage channel, which flows through a culvert and into a detention pond located 4,000 feet away. Six methods were used to estimate peak runoff: Velocity Method, Wong's Formula, Kerby's Formula, FAA Formula, Morgali and Linsley's Formula, and Chen and Yen's Formula. Wong's Formula produced a peak runoff closest to the average when calculating individually for each watershed

ABSTRACT: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has allowed the optimization of many configurations among which aircraft engines. In the aeronautical industry, CFD is mostly restricted to steady approaches
due to the high computational cost of unsteady simulations. Nevertheless, the flow field across the rotating parts of aircraft engines, namely turbomachinery blades, is essentially periodic in time. Years ago, Fourier- based time methods have been developed to take advantage of this time periodicity. However, they are, for the most part, restricted to mono-frequential flow fields. This means that only a single base-frequency and its harmonics can be considered. Recently, a multi-frequential Fourier-based time method, namely the multi-frequential Harmonic Balance (HB), has been developed and implemented into the elsA CFD code, enabling new kinds of applications as, for instance, the aeroelasticity of multi-stage turbomachinery.
The present PhD thesis aims at applying the HB approach to the aeroelasticity of a new type of aircraft engine: the contra-rotating open rotor. The method is first validated on analytical, linear and non-linear numerical test problems. Two issues are raised, which prevent the use of such an approach on arbitrary aeroelastic configurations: the conditioning of the multi-frequential HB source term and the convergence of the method. Original methodologies are developed to improve the condition number of the simulations and to provide a priori estimates of the number of harmonics required to achieve a given convergence level. The HB method is then validated on a standard configuration for turbomachinery aeroelasticity. The results are shown to be in fair agreement with the experimental data. The applicability of the method is finally demonstrated for aeroelastic simulations of contra-rotating open rotors.
This document presents two novel techniques for generating accurate capillary pressure (Pc) curves from well log and core data. The first technique involves reservoir zonation based on pore size distribution, correlating irreducible water saturation (Swir) to reservoir quality index (RQI), and developing relationships between Pc endpoints and RQI. The second technique involves developing two Pc models - one relating normalized Pc and normalized non-wetting phase saturation using a modified Brooks and Corey model, and another relating normalized Pc and normalized non-wetting phase saturation. Both techniques were shown to accurately predict water saturation from well logs in different zones of a reservoir. The techniques can generate Pc curves without need for expensive laboratory measurements.
Integration of multiple data sources into a resource estimate analysis of t...Alastair Cornah
The document summarizes a study analyzing different methods for integrating multiple data sources, like drill samples and channel samples, into a resource estimate. It describes generating a "ground truth" dataset and extracting virtual channel samples with varying levels of error. Estimation methods tested include ordinary kriging of drillholes only, ordinary kriging of drillholes and channels, cokriging, colocated cokriging, and ordinary kriging with variance of measurement error. The last method performed best by rebalancing weights based on error variances and outperformed other methods when channel data had any error. In conclusions, channel data can benefit estimation if errors are less than 2 standard deviations but drillholes only are better with higher errors

Wavelet estimation for a multidimensional acoustic or elastic earth- Arthur W...Arthur Weglein
A new and general wave theoretical wavelet estimation
method is derived. Knowing the seismic wavelet
is important both for processing seismic data and for
modeling the seismic response. To obtain the wavelet,
both statistical (e.g., Wiener-Levinson) and deterministic
(matching surface seismic to well-log data) methods
are generally used. In the marine case, a far-field
signature is often obtained with a deep-towed hydrophone.
The statistical methods do not allow obtaining
the phase of the wavelet, whereas the deterministic
method obviously requires data from a well. The
deep-towed hydrophone requires that the water be
deep enough for the hydrophone to be in the far field
and in addition that the reflections from the water
bottom and structure do not corrupt the measured
wavelet. None of the methods address the source
array pattern, which is important for amplitude-versus-
offset (AVO) studies

The document describes the ARTEMISS algorithm for retrieving surface temperature and emissivity from hyperspectral thermal infrared data. It discusses using in-scene atmospheric compensation to estimate transmission and path radiance from the data. It then uses these estimates along with lookup tables and spectral smoothness constraints to retrieve temperature and emissivity. Sensitivity studies show the algorithm works well except when there are issues like spectral miscalibration. A spectral smile and shift retrieval technique is also presented to characterize sensor calibration issues.

3. For each problem, the generating curve/area is identified and divided into components. The distance to the centroid of each component and their areas/lengths are calculated and summed to determine the final area or volume using the appropriate theorem of Pappus or Guldinus.
1) The document presents a method called Vector-acoustic Reverse-time Migration (VARTM) that can perform wavefield separation and imaging of up-going and down-going wavefields from multi-component seismic data without pre-processing for separation.

3) In addition to imaging the up-going wavefield, VARTM can also image the down-going wavefield (mirror VARTM) without needing additional finite difference modeling.
Handout notes gas liquid flow patterns as directed graphsPablo Adames
The document contains notes from a presentation given on June 11, 2014 about representing gas-liquid pipe flow patterns as directed graphs. It discusses how directed graphs can be used to represent both the mass and force balances of simple and complex flow patterns. For a simple well-mixed flow pattern, the document shows the mass balance and force balance can each be represented by a subgraph, and combining these produces the full directed graph. It then discusses how more complex separated flow patterns involve two distinct flow paths that can be represented in the directed graph framework.
Numerical Simulation of Highly-Nonlinear Dispersion-Shifted Fiber Optical Par...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The previous study investigated the fiber parameters on the analytical one-pump fiber optical parametric
amplifier (FOPA) gain spectrum of a loss-free highly-nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber (HNL-DSF) and
got the optimum results for each parameter. However, the FOPA gain of the combination of all the optimum
values of the considered parameters was not reported. Hence, this paper intends to investigate the analytical
FOPA gain of the combination of all the optimum values of the considered parameters from the previous
study. Later, the analytical gain was compared with the numerical gain from the fourth-order Runge-Kutta
(RK4) method and Matlab built-in function, ode45. Next, the effect of fiber loss and higher order dispersion
coefficients such as fourth and sixth-order dispersion coefficients were studied. It is found that RK4 gives
a smaller error and the gain reduces while the bandwidth remains same in presence of fiber loss. The
fourth-order dispersion coefficient broadens the bandwidth a bit while maintaining the gain and there are two
narrow-band gains generated to the left and right-side of the broad-band gain. The sixth-order dispersion
coefficient just shifts the two narrow-band gains toward or away from the broadband gain depending on the
positive or negative signs of the sixth-order dispersion coefficient.

The document describes representing gas-liquid pipe flow patterns as directed graphs. It discusses how simple flow patterns like dispersed bubble flow can be represented as simple directed graphs with nodes for control volumes and edges connecting mass and force balance equations. More complex separated and intermittent flow patterns are also represented as directed graphs with additional nodes to describe features like liquid films, gas cores, and liquid slugs. The mass and force balance equations that define the mechanical equilibrium of the flow patterns are included as edges in the directed graph representations.

Big data overwiew, Татьяна Матвиенко/Александр Павленко, Senior Java/BigData ...Alina Vilk
Big data refers to large volumes of data that are too large and complex for traditional data processing systems. This document discusses big data in the context of car fleet management, where large amounts of data are collected from millions of cars in real-time. It then outlines some of the key challenges of big data including storage, speed, and availability. Finally, it presents several approaches and technologies for ingesting, storing, processing, and analyzing big data at scale, such as MapReduce, lambda architecture, and various cloud platforms.
This document provides the solutions to homework problems assigned in a thermodynamics course. It summarizes the key steps and conclusions for 6 problems involving concepts like approximations for enthalpy of compressed water, properties of water at different temperatures and pressures, heat transfer for a refrigerant, the Rankine cycle diagram, and properties of propane using different equations of state. The last problem calculates about 700 kJ/kg of work done by steam expanding adiabatically between two states.
Effect of Longitudinal Velocity of the Particle of the Dusty Fluid with Volum...inventionjournals
The effect of finite volume fraction of suspended particulate matter on axially symmetrical jet mixing of incompressible dusty fluid has been considered. Here we are assuming the velocity and temperature in the jet to differ only slightly from that of surrounding stream, a perturbation method has been employed to linearize the equation those have been solved by using Laplace Transformation technique. Numerical computations have been made to find the solutions of the longitudinal perturbed fluid velocity and longitudinal perturbed particle velocity.
Numerical Investigation of Finned-Tube Heat-exchanger with Circular, Elliptic...Hasibul Hasan Shovon
The document numerically investigates a finned-tube heat exchanger with circular, elliptical and rectangular tubes. It models the heat exchanger with 3 or 6 tubes in the configurations and analyzes heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics when air or water vapor flows over the tubes. The results show that modified configurations with mixed tube shapes can increase heat transfer by up to 10% compared to baseline designs, though they also increase pressure drop due to the higher frontal area of some tube shapes.
Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis in a Cryogenic Microchannel Heat ExchangerIRJET Journal
This document presents a numerical analysis of conjugate heat transfer in a cryogenic microchannel heat exchanger. A counterflow rectangular microchannel printed circuit heat exchanger model is designed and simulated. Performance is investigated numerically with helium at cryogenic temperatures for Reynolds numbers less than 100 and varying material thermal conductivity ratios. Results show axial conduction affects performance at low Reynolds numbers. Effectiveness decreases with increasing axial conduction and increases with Reynolds number. Nusselt number and heat flux along the channels are also determined.
The primary objective of this project is to extend the conveniences of
deconvolution to non-linear problems of fluid flow in porous media. Unlike
conventional approaches, which are based on an approximate linearization of the
problem, here the solution of the non-linear problem is linearized by a perturbation
approach, which permits term-by-term application of deconvolution. Because the
proposed perturbation solution is more conveniently evaluated in the Laplacetransform
domain and the standard deconvolution algorithms are in the time-domain,
an efficient deconvolution procedure in the Laplace domain is a prerequisite.
For this research objective, a new algorithm is introduced which uses inverse
mirroring at the points of discontinuity and adaptive cubic splines to approximate rate
or pressure versus time data. This algorithm accurately transforms sampled data into
Laplace space and eliminates the Numerical inversion instabilities at discontinuities
or boundary points commonly encountered with the piece-wise linear approximations
of the data.
Applying the algorithm to the field data obtained from published works, we can
unveil the early-time behavior of a reservoir system masked by wellbore-storage
effects. The wellbore-storage coefficient can be variable in the general case. The new
method thus provides a powerful tool to improve pressure-transient-test
interpretation.
Practical use of the algorithm presented in this research has applications in a
variety of Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) and Rate Transient Analysis (RTA)
problems. A renewed interest in this procedure is inspired from the need to evaluate
production performances of wells in unconventional reservoirs. With this approach,
1) Conversion and reactor sizing for different reactor types such as batch, CSTR, PFR and reactors in series are discussed. Key equations for calculating conversion and sizing reactors given reaction rate data are presented.
2) Examples are provided to calculate the volume of a CSTR and PFR needed to achieve 80% conversion of a reactant based on rate data, and to compare the required volumes between reactor types.
3) For an isothermal reaction, a CSTR typically requires a larger volume than a PFR to achieve the same conversion due to operating at the lowest reaction rate throughout the reactor.
1) The document discusses viscous fluid flow through circular pipes and between parallel plates. It defines laminar and turbulent flow, and explores Reynold's experiment which shows the transition between these flow types.
2) Mathematical expressions are derived for shear stress distribution, velocity distribution, the ratio of maximum to average velocity, and pressure drop over a given pipe length. Shear stress and velocity are shown to vary parabolically from the pipe wall to center.
3) Key results shown are that velocity distribution is parabolic, the ratio of maximum to average velocity is 2, and the pressure drop can be calculated using the Hagen-Poiseuille formula.
This document analyzes the relationship between the initial conditions of state and adjoint variables for optimal time control of a second-order linear system. It finds that the initial adjoint conditions are algebraically related to the switching time, with a one-to-one correspondence. This relationship suggests numerical methods that iterate on the boundary conditions, like guessing initial conditions and integrating to determine terminal conditions, may have difficulties converging for problems with this system structure. The results support conclusions from a previous paper that found boundary iteration methods unsuccessful for a related optimal control problem.
This document presents a numerical investigation of mixed convective flow inside straight and bend pipes. The study examines the effects of inlet Rayleigh number and Reynolds number on velocity and temperature profiles within the pipes. For a straight horizontal pipe, secondary flow develops at higher L/D ratios due to density variations, producing maximum velocity at the bottom. For bend pipes, secondary flow in the horizontal section combines with buoyancy effects in the vertical section. Higher Rayleigh numbers indicate a transition from forced to mixed to free convection. Results show secondary flow weakens and profiles become more uniform at farther downstream positions.
Numerical Investigation of Mixed Convective Flow inside a Straight Pipe and B...iosrjce
The present study deals with a numerical investigation of steady laminar and turbulent mixed
convection heat transfer in a horizontal pipe and bend pipe using air as the working fluid.The thermal boundary
condition chosen is that of uniform temperature at the outer wall. Computations were performed to investigate
the effect of inlet Rayleigh number and Reynolds number in the velocity and temperature profile at inside of the
pipe. The secondary flow is more intense in the upper part of the cross-section. It increases throughout the
cross-section until its intensity reaches a maximum, and then it becomes weak at far downstream. For the
horizontal pipe the value of the L/D ratio becomes more than 10 the secondary flow effects are neutralized and
the velocity profile almost become constant throughout.
This document presents a numerical investigation of mixed convective flow inside straight and bend pipes. The study examines the effects of inlet Rayleigh number and Reynolds number on velocity and temperature profiles within the pipes. For a straight horizontal pipe, secondary flow develops at higher L/D ratios, producing maximum velocity at the bottom of the pipe. As L/D increases beyond 10, secondary flow effects diminish. Higher Rayleigh numbers indicate stronger buoyancy effects on flow and temperature distribution. In a bend pipe, secondary flow and buoyancy-driven effects combine to influence mixed convection patterns.
Numerical_Analysis_of_Turbulent_Momentum_and_Heat_Transfer_in_a_Rectangular_H...Nate Werner
- The document analyzes turbulent momentum and heat transfer in a rectangular helical duct using water and freon-12 as working fluids.
- It develops a 3D model of the helical duct geometry based on prior research. Simulations are run using ANSYS Fluent and CFX to analyze flow, temperature, and turbulence fields.
- The results show secondary flows developing with higher velocities near the outer wall. While some aspects agree with prior work, the simulations produce higher velocities and different vortex structures than expected. Thermal development also takes longer than velocity development.
This document discusses a study on forced convection heat transfer of nanofluids in turbulent flow through an automobile radiator tube. It presents numerical simulations using a k-epsilon turbulence model to analyze heat transfer characteristics like heat transfer coefficient, heat flux, and Nusselt number for alumina and titanium dioxide nanofluids suspended in water. The results show that increasing nanoparticle concentration improves heat transfer but heat transfer enhancement decreases with increasing Reynolds number. Nanofluids have potential advantages for automotive cooling applications by improving radiator and engine performance.
This document summarizes key information from Chapter 10 of an unknown text. It includes:
1) A nickel-base alloy billet split after the fourth pass of rolling with a 5% reduction per pass. Various experts proposed lowering the reduction, applying tension, or increasing the reduction.
2) The Mannesmann tube process involves small reductions between non-parallel rolls onto a flexible mandrel, creating low axial forces and keeping the mandrel centered.
3) Equations for deformation zone geometry reduce to simpler forms for small angles and reductions, with errors of around 2-5% for given values.
This document summarizes a study on assessing the thermal performance of semicircular fins under forced air convection and its application to air preheaters. The study finds that semicircular fins have greater thermal efficiency compared to circular fins of the same volume due to their larger surface area. Mathematical models are developed to analyze heat transfer in the fins and an air preheater. Various parameters like number of fins, pipe size, air velocity and temperature are examined. The results show that larger preheat can be achieved using semicircular fins, providing potential for higher energy efficiency.

25. Limitations
• Drag reduction due to heating is observed for
low Reynolds number flow; few applications
such as micro-channels
• Sinusoidal heating pattern is hard to
achieve in practice.
• Errors associated with numerical analysis
are minimized, however cannot be
eliminated completely.
Improvement in drag reduction
in thermally modulated channel
26. Conclusion
• Drag reduction is increased by 110 % when
uniform heating is added over the periodic
heating
• Most effective wave number for drag
reduction is α~3
• Vertical heat transfer also increases with the
addition of uniform heating
• Net energy saving?
Improvement in drag reduction
in thermally modulated channel
27. Conclusion
• Scenarios:
Large pump to overcome larger drag, or
Small pump with lesser drag (reduced via
application of heating)
