Unlocking the secrets of Neapolitan pizza: A concise review of wood-fired, electric, and gas pizza ovens.

This review explores the Neapolitan pizza baking process in a traditional wood-fired oven, employing visual color analysis and IR thermal scanning to detail heat exchange mechanisms. During cooking, the oven floor temperature in the pizza area decreased proportionally to the pizza's mass, whereas the free area maintained a constant temperature of 439±3°C. An IR thermal camera indicated that the oven dome temperature reached approximately 480°C with a weak flame and 500°C with a strong flame. The pizza's bottom achieved a maximum temperature of 100±9°C, facilitated by the Pizzaiolo's skill in lifting and rotating the pizza for uniform cooking. Top temperatures varied: up to 180°C for white pizza and 84°C and 67°C for tomato and Margherita pizzas, respectively. IRIS electronic eye analysis revealed more browning and blackening on the pizza's top compared to its bottom, with peaks of about 26% and 8% for white pizza, respectively. Rapid baking is pivotal in Neapolitan pizza-making, necessitating precise heat and mass transfer management to influence sensory attributes. European Commission Regulation No. 97/2010 mandates wood-fired ovens for true Neapolitan pizza, but environmental concerns prompted the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana to certify gas or electric ovens when wood-fired ovens are impractical. Operating costs vary: liquefied petroleum gas ovens are the costliest, with costs ranging from €5.38 to €6.19/h, whereas natural gas and electric ovens have operating costs between €2.70 and €4.10/h. At €0.15/kg, firewood is the most economical, supporting traditionalist views. However, natural gas and electric ovens present competitive costs under stringent antipollution laws, making them viable alternatives.

Thermal insulation provided by chairs with various clothing ensembles

The thermal insulation provided by chairs significantly influences human thermal comfort. On the one hand, it modifies the heat exchange mechanism at the contact points between the body and the chair surface. On the other hand, an increase in local thermal insulation can exacerbate differences in thermal insulation across various areas of the body, impacting overall comfort. However, the thermal insulation data for chairs are decades old and thus need to be updated to reflect modern designs and materials. Six typical office chairs were tested using a thermal manikin dressed in five typical clothing ensembles (ranging from summer to winter). The effective thermal insulation of the chairs varied between 0.04 and 0.14 clo when tested in the nude. The added values ranged from 0.04 to 0.30 clo when tested with different clothing ensembles. Higher clothing levels correspond to higher added chair thermal insulation. Therefore, a simple weighing method was developed to adjust the seasonal coefficient of the mean chair insulation value (0.75 in summer, 1.0 in transition, and 1.25 in winter). Furthermore, a simple model was established for calculating the overall clothing level for a seated person. The model was validated using data measured in this experiment and other external sources, with a minimum prediction mean error of 1.4 %. This study provides a reference for accurately acquiring the thermal insulation value of chairs for a seated person in thermal comfort studies.

Heat transfer characteristic of an alumina oscillating heat pipe

Oscillating heat pipes (OHP) are a promising and highly efficient heat transfer technology especially in the field of power electronics thermal management. However, conventional metal OHP do not meet the need for insulation or low coefficients of thermal expansion. In order to expand the application field and break the application limitation of the OHP technology, alumina ceramic oscillating heat pipes was designed and investigated in this paper. The alumina OHPs combine the excellent insulating, oxidation-resistant, corrosion-resistant and low thermal expansion properties of alumina ceramic with the efficient heat exchange mechanism of oscillating heat pipe technology, exhibiting great application potential. An alumina flat-plate oscillating heat pipe was prepared, 6 internal microchannels were examined using micro-CT, and the microstructure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The heat transfer characteristics of the OHP charged with water were investigated using a heat transfer test system. Increasing heat loads were employed to the OHP, and the operating temperature of 20 °C and 60 °C as well as the orientation varied between 0° and 90° were also introduced. The oscillation motion of the alumina OHPs were investigated, including temperature oscillations before and after startup of the OHPs, and a comparison effective thermal conductivities at various tilt angles and operating temperatures was carried out. The experimental results revealed that the heat transfer performance of the alumina oscillating heat pipe significantly increased with the increased heat loads and reached to 861.7 W/(m∙K) at 56 W. The effective thermal conductivity of the OHP was 6 times higher than that of the empty OHP at heat load of 16 W. When the orientation was 30°, the temperature oscillation instability increased, the oscillation amplitude increased, and the heat transfer performance of the oscillating heat pipe decreased. As the operating temperature increased, the stability of temperature oscillations improved, the amplitude decreased, and heat transfer performance was enhanced.

Multi-layered ventilation duct system for heat exchange with air purification

In a typical house with a mechanical ventilation system, a ventilation duct with a certain installation length is placed along the exterior walls or in the ceiling shed space. To effectively use this ventilation duct, we aimed to develop a novel ventilation duct system with sensible heat exchange and passive air purification mechanisms. The proposed ventilation duct comprises multiple layers of a counterflow heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Baffles were installed in the middle of the flow channel to collect particles in the outdoor air by forming a circulating flow associated with the separation flow and gravitational settling in a local domain in the flow channel. To optimize the design of this new ventilation duct concept in terms of particle removal and heat exchange efficiencies, we conducted a computational fluid and particle dynamics analysis as a function of design parameters such as airflow rate, particle size, and air temperature. Through a series of numerical analyses, differences in the heat exchange efficiency and effectiveness of particle removal corresponding to different baffle designs were quantitatively evaluated, and finally, the optimal design for the air channel as an HRV was determined.

Simulation on water photovoltaic heat exchange mechanism and influence on water quality, a case on the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion project

Water photovoltaic (WPV) power stations have developed rapidly in recent years around the world. However, the thermal performance, power generation characteristics and the influence on water temperature and water quality of WPV power station need to be further studied. At present, there is no systematic and complete numerical method that can simulate the impact of solar panel on water environment. In this paper, a joint calculation method of WPV heat exchange model and 1-D hydrodynamic and water quality model is proposed. Taking Hebei section of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion project as an example, the solar panel temperature, electrical efficiency, water temperature and water quality changes are analyzed. The results show that, compared with the static water condition, the solar panel temperature and air temperature below the panel decrease under flowing water condition. And the photoelectric efficiency is improved. After covering the WPV, the air temperature below the panel is significantly affected by the solar panel temperature. When moving from south to north along the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion project, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of WPV gradually increases, but module output power per square meter drops by 1.75 W/m2. The short-wave radiation flux reduction factor of WPV should be less than 20 % for ensuring the stability of water quality and the large discharge will weaken the short-wave radiation flux reduction influences on water quality.

Study on Zoning Effect of Shallow Geothermal Energy Suitability Based on Structural Matrix Method

Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed to help China achieve its twofold carbon goal and advance its energy security policy. Shallow geothermal, middle-deep geothermal, and dry hot rock geothermal all belong to the clean energy. The thermal energy held in rock, soil, groundwater, and surface water up to a depth of 200 metres is referred to as the shallow geothermal variety, which is characterized by temperatures below 25∘C. Its use is mostly dependent on ground source heat pump technology. The ground source heat pump ground pipe heat exchange system, the ground source heat pump groundwater heat exchange system, and the ground source heat pump surface water heat exchange system are all included in the shallow geothermal heat exchange mechanism. The structural matrix approach is used in this study to determine if the groundwater heat exchange system for the shallow geothermal ground source heat pump in Sanmenxia’s urban setting is appropriate. The results showed that: the most influential factor was hydrogeological conditions, followed by hydrodynamic and water chemistry conditions. Aquifer recharge capacity and water capacity was the necessary condition of suitability partition. Studied hydrodynamic field and chemical field, analyzed aquifer thickness and groundwater flow under current conditions and determined the appropriate zoning, proposed groundwater aquifers and recharge horizon.

This problem was solved in the Solidworks Flow Simulation software package. Results. A mathematical model of the heat exchange process in a shell-and-tube coil heat exchanger was obtained with visualization of the mechanisms of coolant movement inside the heating and heated circuits.

Enhanced thermal modeling of three-phase dry-type transformers

This work presents an enhanced thermal modeling for dry-type three-phase transformers, addressing the heat exchange mechanisms through conduction, radiation, and convection. Additionally, an equivalent thermal network is proposed to analyze the thermal behavior of these transformers. The thermal model includes several improvements, such as the differentiated representation of the core and windings through different nodes, and the consideration of primary and secondary windings as distinct nodes. Furthermore, the effects of convection and radiation in the inner areas of the core windows are accounted for, providing higher accuracy to the model. This modeling allows for a detailed analysis of the transformer under unbalanced load conditions, considering the complete geometry of the equipment. The results demonstrated that even with just a 5% load imbalance, there was a change in the hot spot temperature (HST). Moreover, the evaluation of temperatures in the coils, both internal and external to the core windows, revealed variations of up to 7 °C in the analyzed load unbalance scenarios. The study also highlighted that the phase of the harmonic component has an impact on the final equipment temperature. Additionally, the overvoltage and overload analyses showed that voltage has a greater impact on increasing the average core temperature, while overload mainly affects the winding temperature. Another relevant finding is that the internal coils near the core windows are most vulnerable to temperature rise when subjected to overload.

The Role of Non‐Local Effects on Surface Sensible Heat Flux Under Different Types of Thermal Structures Over the Arctic Sea‐Ice Surface

AbstractThe effects of atmospheric thermal structure on the surface energy flux are poorly understood over the Arctic sea‐ice surface. Here, we explore the mechanism of sensible heat exchange under different types of thermal structures over the Arctic sea‐ice surface by using data collected during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate expedition. The quadrant analysis indicates that strong surface temperature inversions below 100 m enhance non‐local effects on the positive (upward) sensible heat flux () through entrainment of large eddies from the convective boundary layer aloft. However, strong surface inversions restrict the contributions of large eddies to the negative (downward) due to intensified surface stability. By inspecting the existing parameterization schemes, we found that the European Center for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecasting System scheme fails to predict the impacts of non‐local processes on the positive , and an adjustment term to correct the bias of parameterized is proposed.

Regulation of throttling distribution and characteristic analysis for a microchannel Joule-Thomson (J-T) cooler

Miniature J-T coolers are applied extensively in electronic devices, cryosurgery and infrared detectors. The utilization of microchannels in miniature J-T coolers can induce a noticeable pressure drop through the recuperative structure, leading to modifications in the refrigeration mechanism. This study delves into the performance and coupling mechanism of throttling and heat exchange. Herein, a microchannel cooler with a noticeable throttling effect throughout the refrigeration process serves as a prototype. The mathematical model is proved with the experiments, thereby exposing limitations in the improvement of the throttling mechanism and the thermodynamic process. The analysis reveals that the backflow exhibits a significant pressure reduction (ΔPl); thus, the utilization ratio of the throttling effect is low. Additionally, further optimization of the thermodynamic process is possible by regulating throttling distribution. The performance and coupling mechanism of throttling and heat exchange with constant working conditions are investigated. The findings reveal that an optimal ratio of ΔPl (14.3 %) yields the lowest cold terminal temperature, which is reduced by up to 38.9 K. In this case, the J-T efficiency and the effectiveness of the recuperative process are observed to peak at 56.7 % and 83.8 %, respectively, indicating the optimal use of the throttling effect and interaction effects. The analysis also suggests that the thermodynamic process has been improved.

Modeling, validating, and simulating are three essential parts in investigating the heat mitigation benefits of urban trees (BUT). Therefore, 81 relevant studies from the last ten years are reviewed, analyzed, and summarized in this study. Three main ways for urban trees to adjust the environment are summarized, including shade creation and radiation modification, cooling effects of transpiration, and airflow blocking and modification effects.

Heat transfer characteristics of high-temperature particle population in ultra-dilute phase: Particle-fluid-surface heat transfer during falling

In dry centrifugal granulation technology, the liquid slag is granulated in the granulator to produce a particle population with a high-temperature dilute-phase distribution. During the falling process, inadequate heat transfer can cause the droplets to fail to solidify completely, greatly reducing the safety of the heat recovery bed operation. In this work, A heat transfer model for a particle population of ultra-dilute phase slag was developed, to investigate the particle-fluid-surface heat transfer characteristics of the particle population around the tube, and obtain the changing law of particle population cooling and tube surface heat transfer characteristics. The conclusions of the study show that the fluid flows close to the tube, which is due to particle perturbation. The separation point is to be shifted back, from 180°∼210° to the top 90°∼120°, resulting in a local heat transfer coefficient maximum at the upper of the tube. The amplitude of the fluctuations in the local heat transfer coefficients exhibits the dominance of the different heat transfer types, the percentage of radiant heat transfer is above 60% in all cases. The extended particle residence time can effectively increase the particle cooling rate, the particle cooling rate is above 230 K/s. This study reveals the heat exchange mechanism between the gas-solid phase of the ultra-dilute particle population and the horizontal tube during the falling process, positive performance of horizontal tubes on heat transfer to particle populations was confirmed. Combined heat transfer between the surfaces of dilute-phase particle populations is proposed as a new research content in the field of high-temperature melt granulation, expanding the prospects of industrial applications of combined heat transfer between the surfaces of fluid-solid multiphase flows.

Effect of Bronchial Blood Flow on Respiratory Heat Exchange: A Mathematical Analysis for Infectious Diseases

Abstract The present study aims to mathematically analyze the role of bronchial blood flow on heat transfer in respiratory infections. In general, the exchange of heat transfer in various infectious diseases like COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has adversely affected respiration by reducing the physiological efficiency of the human respiratory tract. The mechanism of heat exchange through airway walls with the bronchial blood circulation still needs to be thoroughly studied for infectious diseases. In this article, a three-dimensional (3D) spatio-temporal theoretical model is developed to estimate the possible role of bronchial blood on heat exchange during breathing. The local description of the model is presented in a comprehensive and consistent dimensionless framework to explicitly state the actual physiological background. The global description is framed by a multicompartment-based approach, and the algorithm is solved using an advanced numerical scheme to ensure computational tractability. The numerical study elucidates the role of inhalation air temperature, breathing cycles, blood perfusion rate, and mucosal hydration. The outcomes of the algorithm estimate the parameters of the isothermal saturation boundary (ISB), which is defined as the position in the respiratory tract where the temperature of inhaled air comes in equilibrium with the body core saturation temperature. The derived results help to understand the pathophysiological threshold limits and recommend the values to evaluate respiratory distress. With the variations of inspiratory flow conditions, it is observed that the ISB position shifts to the distal branches with the increment in inhalation temperature, breathing rate and virus infection, and decrement in blood perfusion rate. The two antiparallel effects are observed: inhalation of cold air transmits the viral infection, and inhalation of warm air produces thermal injury. However, both can be well controlled by suitable ventilation rates. The observed threshold values may be helpful in clinical trials to correlate the anatomic configuration with pathophysiology.

Анализ процессов теплообмена на поверхности надземного трубопровода с теплоизоляцией

Purpose: Transport infrastructure facilities include a variety of water supply systems. In the conditions of negative ambient temperatures, there is a risk of freezing and destruction of water pipelines. In mathematical modeling of the operation of aboveground pipelines, the correct description of the heat exchange process between the outer wall of the pipeline and the surrounding atmosphere is of great importance. The boundary condition corresponding to this process traditionally includes a heat transfer coefficient depending on a number of unpredictable parameters (wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, air humidity). The purpose of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis of the role of free and forced convective heat exchange and to justify the possibility of setting a boundary condition that depends only on the outside air temperature. Methods: To solve this problem, the work uses numerical analysis of similarity criteria for the heat exchange process under conditions typical for the operation of an above-ground pipeline with thermal insulation. The justification of the boundary condition on the external surface of the pipeline is based on the law of energy conservation. Results: The values of the parameters of the problem are determined, in which free or forced convective heat exchange prevails. It has been shown that forced convection prevails in conditions typical for the operation of above-ground water pipelines. Under these conditions, the difference between the temperature of the external surface of the insulated pipeline and the surrounding atmosphere is small. It has been shown that in this case, it is advisable to use the equality of atmospheric air temperatures and pipeline surface temperatures as a boundary condition. Practical significance: Understanding the mechanisms of heat exchange makes it possible to create an adequate model of the operation of pipelines in conditions of negative temperatures. Setting a more accurate and simple boundary condition on the surface of the pipeline simplifies the task of mathematical modeling. The results obtained in this article can be used in mathematical modeling of any pipelines with thermal insulation.

Protective facemask-induced facial thermal stress and breathing burden during exercise in gyms

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 90% of infections occurred in indoor environments such as restaurants and gyms. In particular, gym attendees are facing challenges of both infection risks and extra heat and breathing burdens with the use of protective facemasks (PFMs) during intensive exercise. To evaluate the PFM-induced thermal stress and breathing discomfort during high-intensity exercise, this study investigated the mechanisms of heat and air exchange between environment of inside and outside PFM via experiments and computational fluid dynamics simulations. In the experimental phase, the effects of the activity intensity and type of PFM on thermal and breathing comfort were tested. An uncomfortable microenvironment of the face covered by a PFM was found when the air temperature and absolute humidity increased by 4.1% and 23.1%, respectively, during high-intensity exercise, relative to the sitting scenario (30.8 °C, 0.026 kg/m3), together with a higher CO2 concentration (31.0% increase) and lower O2 concentration (8.3% decrease). Moreover, the masks newly designed provided better thermal and breathing conditions than traditional masks due to the larger surface area and lower thickness. In simulation phase, the model sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the effects of eight factors on thermal and breathing comfort. The mask surface area is found to most highly affect not only the thermal comfort indices (temperature, absolute humidity) but also breathing comfort indices (the concentration of CO2 and O2). The study results provide an important reference for government policymaking, mask design, and public health.

The Passive Heat Removal Facility: Testing and Demonstrating an Innovative Decay Heat Removal System

Innovative reactor concepts are being studied by several research institutions and private entities for their role against climate change and energy poverty. The Generation IV International Forum, committed for more than 20 years in support of advanced reactors, has drawn up a series of objectives for the new class of nuclear plants, among which is an improvement in safety and economy through passive safety systems for the removal of decay heat. One of the most studied technologies is the lead fast reactor (LFR), whose coolant has a high boiling point, excellent shielding capabilities, and good heat transfer in forced and natural circulation, as well as neutron properties suitable for a hard spectrum. These allow for designing systems with high simplification and wide safety margins. On the other hand, opacity, corrosion, and innovative design choices require demonstration of the technology in experimental campaigns before using it in the industrial field. In recent years, Westinghouse Electric Company has begun the conceptual study of an intermediate size LFR [~460 MW(electric)] which, by exploiting the opportunities of the technology, aims at marketability over the next decade. One of the features is a passive heat removal system that allows, through different heat exchange mechanisms including conduction, convection, and radiation, for the transfer of decay heat from the reactor block to a pool of water inside the containment. The system is designed for indefinite heat removal thanks to channels that allow outside air to replace water following complete boiling. For the geometry of the system, the size, the materials, and the heat transfer mechanisms, an experimental activity is required to validate the prediction of the calculation codes and potentially support design optimization. The UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has recently subsidized the design, procurement, installation, and operation of the Passive Heat Removal Facility, an experimental facility to study the innovative safety system. This paper presents the activities of scaling, design, pretesting, and installation of that facility.

Geographic and transport controls of temperature response in karst springs

Thermal responses of groundwater are useful signatures to reveal the recharge-discharge process and characterize aquifer structure in karst groundwater. Four karst springs with varying circulation depths ranging from ∼ 60 to 820 m in South China, were used to decipher the mechanism of heat exchange between recharge water and surrounding rock formations. An analytical solution of heat transfer in karst conduit was proposed to simulate the peak or trough temperatures of pulse flow. Hydraulic diameter, flow velocity, input temperature and circulation depth in karst aquifer, mainly depending on the recharge water volume after rainfall events, are important transport factors to control the thermal equilibrium depth and the efficiency of heat exchange that directly controls the behavior of warm peaks or cold troughs in groundwater temperature. In shallow karst aquifers wherein the circulation depth is less than its theoretical thermal equilibrium depth, the recharge water does not sufficiently exchange heat with the surrounding rocks, resulting in clear event-scale warm peaks in summer and cold troughs in winter. Otherwise, the recharge water will firstly reach a thermal equilibrium state and then mix with the warmer base flow at deeper location, which is verified in a karst spring with anomalous event-scale temperature drops after rainfall events all year around. The thermal response simulations obtained from this work provide new ways and insights to characterize geographic structure of karst aquifer and elucidate heat transfer mechanism in karst aquifer systems.

Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer within a Rotary Multi-Vane Expander

In this paper, the results of numerical investigations on heat transfer in a multi-vane expander (MVE) are reported. MVEs are very interesting for various technological applications because of their advantages (such as, for example, low gas flow capacity and a low expansion ratio). According to a literature study, the heat exchange mechanisms occurring in these machines have not yet undergone in-depth analysis. As a result, there have been very few experimental or modeling results connected to these unquestionably significant processes from both a scientific and practical perspective. Despite the fact that several analytical models have been developed for these phenomena, there is no numerical model dedicated to an MVE. This model was developed by the authors and presented in this paper together with modeling results. Numerical simulations were executed in the ANSYS CFX and focused on defining the expander heat transfer coefficients under various flow circumstances. The results showed inside heat transfer processes in MVEs and, moreover, it was discovered that, in the gap between the vane and the cylinder, there are changes in the fluid’s velocity profile.

A Dynamic Heat Pump Model for Indoor Climate Control of a Broiler House

Environment control systems in broiler houses utilize non-renewable electricity and fuels as energy sources, contributing to the increase in greenhouse gases, while not providing optimal conditions. The heat pump (HP) is an energy-efficient technology that can continuously regulate the indoor temperature and relative humidity by combining different operation modes (heating, cooling, and dehumidifying). The current study presents an analytical numerical model developed in Simulink, capable of simulating the thermal loads of a broiler house and the dynamic operation of three heat pumps to cover its needs. Outdoor climatic conditions and broilers’ heat production are used as inputs, while all the heat exchange mechanisms with the external environment are considered. The study investigates the energy use and performance of each HP mode under different environmental conditions. A total of 7 different production periods (PPs) are simulated for a 10,000-broiler house in northern Greece, showing total energy consumption of 18.5 kWh/m2, 43.4 kWh/m2, and 58.7 kWh/m2 for heating, cooling, and dehumidifying, respectively. The seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) reaches above 3.1 and 4.8 for heating and dehumidifying, respectively, while the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) for cooling is above 3.7. Finally, focusing on the two warmer periods, a comparison between cooling with and without evaporative pads was performed, showing similar energy consumption.

Heat exchange mechanism analysis and structural parameter optimization for series-combined microchannel heat sinks

This study presents a heat exchange mechanism analysis and an optimization of structural parameters of a built-in series combined microchannel heat dissipation platform, aiming to address the problems of low heat exchange and high pumping power caused by the mismatch in the selection of the structural parameters of the microchannel heat sink (MHS). A numerical calculation model was built in Fluent, and the temperature difference, pressure difference, and their ratio between the inlet and outlet of the MHS were used as the evaluation indicators. Using an orthogonal test, the influence of multiple parameters on the heat exchange effect was investigated. It is found that the shape of the microchannel is the main factor affecting the heat exchange phenomena, and the optimal combination of parameters such as the height, width, and length of the rectangular microchannel is obtained by a genetic algorithm. Physical transformation and heat exchange experiments were carried out. It was highlighted that the comprehensive performance of the optimized cooling system has been improved to varying degrees under different inlet flow conditions. At an inlet flow rate of 2.0 m3 h−1, the pressure difference and pumping power consumption are reduced by 24.9%, and the maximum temperature difference and heat dissipation power are increased by 21.0%. An experimental study on the heat exchange effect of MHSs with different numbers of serial pieces was carried out. With a number of MHSs of 15, the heat exchange is found to be sufficient, and the maximum heat exchange estimated was 9289.52 W.
