A dynamic model based on response factor method and seasonal performance analysis for integration of flat plate solar collector with building envelope
摘要： Integrating solar thermal collectors into building envelopes (e.g. walls or roofs) is very promising due to no need of additional site to place solar collectors. When a solar collector is integrated with a building, the working conditions for both the solar collector and the building envelope are changed. This paper proposed a new dynamic thermal model based on the response factor method. The new model combines the conventional analysis method for solar collectors with building envelopes, therefore it is easy to be understood and is more convenient to be realized by programming in a computer than state space model. The calculated results by the dynamic model agreed well with those calculated by the state space model and the measured experimental data, suggesting a satisfying validity of the model proposed. The seasonal performance of a solar wall (integrating of solar collectors and walls) in Beijing was studied by the new model. The results showed that: (1) In winter, the useful heat gain by the solar wall was always a little higher than the separate wall by about 6.7–8.8%, and the heat loss through solar wall is reduced by 90% or more, this is very favorable to reduce space heating load. (2) In summer, the useful heat gain of solar wall was higher than the separate collector by about 2.1–10.2%, the heat transferred through walls was less or higher than the separate wall depending on the inlet water temperature.

An unstructured Monte Carlo ray-tracing method for solving radiative heat transfer in 3D gray semitransparent medium
摘要： Monte Carlo ray-tracing method (MCRTM) is widely used for solving the Radiative Transfer equation (RTE) due to its high accuracy and flexibility. In this paper, a MCRTM is developed for solving the radiative heat transfer in gray semitransparent media with complex geometries which are discretized by 3D unstructured grids. A novel algorithm associated to unstructured four-node tetrahedron element is proposed for generating random emitting positions of rays, and the ray tracing process is performed based on Beer's law. Meanwhile, radiation distribution factors are used for calculating radiative source terms which are loaded to the grid. The present method is first validated by comparing the predictive results with those from previous studies on a cubic enclosure, a 3D L-shaped enclosure, and a 3D elliptical enclosure, respectively. Furthermore, a radiation-conduction heat transfer problem is examined in a cylindrical enclosure. All the comparisons show that the present method is in good agreement with these previous cases. This method can be well adapted to various complex geometries. In addition, since the source term is calculated by the radiation distribution factor, which can be reused for different conditions as long as the volumetric radiative properties remain unchanged, this will bring great advantage when coupled with other heat transfer models such as conduction, convection, combustion, etc.

Radiative thermal conduction of molten tin sulfide estimated from its optical emission spectrum
摘要： Molten semi-conductors have potential utility in thermoelectrics or heat-management at high temperature (900 °C and above), though their development requires further analysis of their thermal conduction mechanisms, in particular radiative heat-transfer. Using a container-less method based on the floating zone furnace, the optical emission properties of a pendant droplet of molten tin sulfide (SnS) are investigated in the UV–visible (200–850 nm) and near IR (900–2050 nm) ranges. The emissivity results suggest a low emissivity for molten SnS at the peak of radiation for the temperature range of 890–950 °C. Corresponding estimates of radiative thermal conductivity suggest its minor contribution to the overall thermal conduction of molten SnS.

Evolution of the infrared emissivity of Ni during thermal oxidation until oxide layer opacity
摘要： The mid-infrared (3–22 μm) emissivity of high-purity Ni has been studied in its pure state, during an isothermal oxidation in air at 730 °C and in the fully oxidized state. Measurements in pure Ni were performed in Ar between 200 and 800 °C and a change of slope in the temperature dependence of the total normal emissivity around its Curie temperature (354 °C) was observed. An oxidation process was carried out at 730 °C for 33 days, when the emissivity stopped evolving and the results were representative of NiO. During the ?rst stages, the emissivity evolved forming the usual interference patterns of semi-transparent ?lms. A mixture of oscillatory and monotonic behaviours of the emissivity as a function of wavelength and oxide layer thickness was found, which manifests as a non-trivial evolution of the total normal emissivity, di?erent than that reported in previous studies. Finally, the emissivity of NiO was measured from below its Néel temperature (252 °C) to 850 °C. It showed the typical shape of a ceramic material with an extra vibrational mode due to two-phonon processes and an additional absorption band around 5 μm in the antiferromagnetic phase produced by magnons. The temperature dependence of its total normal emissivity di?ers signi?cantly from that of a lightly oxidized nickel sample from the literature. Overall, the in?uence of the surface characteristics on the thermal radiative properties of oxidized Ni is thoroughly discussed and highlights the importance of accounting for all possible sources of infrared emissivity evolution in order to make accurate radiative heat transfer calculations.

Simultaneous mapping of single bubble dynamics and heat transfer rates for SiO <sub/>2</sub> /water nanofluids under nucleate pool boiling regime
摘要： Dependence of single vapor bubble dynamics and heat transfer rates on varying concentration of SiO2 nanoparticles for a range of subcooled conditions (0–9 ?C) has been experimentally studied under nucleate pool boiling configuration. Non-invasive measurements have been carried out using rainbow schlieren deflectometry. Results on bubble dynamics showed that the bubble diameter and aspect ratio decrease with increasing subcooling levels as well as concentration of nanofluids. The frequency of bubble oscillations was found to increase first and then decrease with increasing subcooling levels while it decreases monotonically with increasing nanofluid concentration. Bubble departure frequency increased significantly for nanofluids, while it decreased with increasing subcooling levels. Condensation effects at the bubble interface were reflected in the form of redistribution of colors around it. Schlieren images clearly revealed a spread in the spatial extent of the thermal boundary layer region caused by the suspended nanoparticles around the vapor bubble as well as near the heated substrate. This phenomenon has been considered as one of the factors that tends to alter the condensation effects and, in turn, affects the bubble dynamics. Quantitative analysis of schlieren images revealed that the natural convective heat flux increases with increasing subcooling levels, while it decreases with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Deterioration in the natural convection phenomenon in the presence of suspended nanoparticles has been attributed to the reduced strength of thermal gradients adjacent to the heater substrate. On the other hand, evaporative heat flux was observed to decrease with increasing subcooling levels and increase with increasing concentration of nanofluids.

Nanoconfinement-Induced Giant Electrocaloric Effect in Ferroelectric Polymer Nanowire Array Integrated with Aluminum Oxide Membrane to Exhibit Record Cooling Power Density
摘要： The electrocaloric effect (ECE) offers a unique mechanism to realize environmentally friendly and highly efficient solid-state cooling that completely differs from the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration. Here a new class of hybrid films composed of ferroelectric polymer nanowire array and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane is reported, which displays pronounced ECE driven by relatively low electric fields. Under confinement and orientation of AAO channels on the crystallization of the polymer, the polymer nanowire array shows substantially enhanced ECE that is about three times that of the corresponding thin films. Simultaneously, the integrated AAO membrane forms thermally conducting channels for the polymer nanowires, enabling the efficient transfer of cooling energy and operation of the EC materials under high frequencies, which are unattainable based on the currently available EC structures. Consequently, the integrated polymer nanowire–AAO hybrid film exhibits the state-of-the-art cooling power density, outperforming the current ferroelectric polymers, ceramics, and composites. This work opens a new route for the development of scalable, high-performance EC materials for next-generation refrigeration.

Rainbow schlieren-based direct visualization of thermal gradients around single vapor bubble during nucleate boiling phenomena of water
摘要： Real time non-intrusive diagnostics of thermal gradients around a single vapor bubble in isolated nucleate pool boiling with water as the working fluid have been presented. Direct visualization of transient evolution of temperature gradients in the vicinity of the heated substrate and around the single bubble as it undergoes various sub-processes has been performed using rainbow schlieren deflectometry. Boiling experiments have been conducted under saturated conditions. Results have been presented in the form of two-dimensional rainbow schlieren images wherein the degree of color re-distribution gives a direct measure of the strength of thermal gradients. Through the real time experimental images, various sub-processes/phenomena associated with boiling heat transfer such as development of superheat layer in the vicinity of the heated substrate, inception and further growth of the vapor bubble followed by scavenging of the superheat layer as the vapor bubble departs into the bulk fluid have been discussed. The profiles of hue distribution near the triple contact line brought out the presence of near stagnant fluid zone in which the heat transfer phenomenon was seen to be primarily diffusion-dominated. Beyond this narrow region, significant bulk fluid movement was observed on the basis of the spatial distributions of hue values recorded in the form of real time schlieren images. The experiments further revealed an instantaneous localized bending of the superheat layer as the bubble leaves the heater surface and subsequent shedding of the wake vortices from the edges of the departing bubble as it moves upwards in the bulk fluid.

Analysis of Sustainable Materials for Radiative Cooling Potential of Building Surfaces
摘要： The main goal of this paper is to explore the radiative cooling and solar heating potential of several materials for the built environment, based on their spectrally-selective properties. A material for solar heating, should have high spectral emissivity/absorptivity in the solar radiation band (within the wavelength range of 0.2–2 μm), and low emissivity/absorptivity at longer wavelengths. Radiative cooling applications require high spectral emissivity/absorptivity, within the atmospheric window band (8–13 μm), and a low emissivity/absorptivity in other bands. UV-Vis spectrophotometer and FTIR spectroscopy, are used to measure, the spectral absorption/emission spectra of six different types of materials. To evaluate the radiative cooling potential of the samples, the power of cooling is calculated. Heat transfer through most materials is not just a surface phenomenon, but it also needs a volumetric analysis. Therefore, a coupled radiation and conduction heat transfer analysis is used. Results are discussed for the selection of the best materials, for different applications on building surfaces.

Influence of ICHTC correlations on the thermal characterization of fa?ades using the quantitative internal infrared thermography method
摘要： The thermal characterization of fa?ades of the existing building stock is essential to establish optimal energy conservation measures. There are different methods to characterize thermal properties of fa?ades. The quantitative internal infrared thermography method is among those most developed. Given the existing differences in the scientific literature among the proposals of the method, this study analysed the influence of the internal convective heat transfer coefficient (ICHTC). In total, 25 correlations of temperature differences (temperature of the wall and internal air temperature) were analysed, as well as 20 correlations of dimensionless numbers. To do this, an experimental campaign was performed in 3 fa?ades belonging to the most representative building periods of the building stock in Spain. First, a cluster analysis was carried out to determine similarities among the equations analysed, using the Ward method as an agglomerative hierarchical method and the Euclidean distance as an association measurement. In total, 12 and 8 groups were obtained for correlations of temperature difference and of dimensionless numbers, respectively. Afterwards, results associated with each approach were obtained. These results showed that a better adjustment was obtained for correlations of dimensionless numbers by using the approach of convection and radiation, with an average value of representative results higher than 80%.

Electro-thermal modeling for InxGa1-xN/GaN based quantum well heterostructures
摘要： The joint effect of the heat transfer and the electronic properties in the InGaN/GaN based quantum well (QW) heterostructures has been investigated theoretically and numerically. One-dimensional Schr?dinger equation solver coupled with Poisson equation solver and Dual-phase-lagging (DPL) heat conduction solver has been developed. The numerical results suggest that the DPL heat conduction equations capture the microscale responses caused by the phonon-electron interaction. Both effects of the polarization charge and conduction band offset between the InGaN/GaN interfaces lead to the creation of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) on the lower interface of the QW. It is found that the 2DEG density at the triangular quantum well increases with increasing Indium (In) composition. This increase is the same for the conduction band offset and the electron density. As a consequence, an increase of the heat dissipation and the temperature is observed at the lower interface of the quantum well.
