Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of heat flux sensors for energy studies of below-grade building envelopes and soil heat transfer is discussed. In a two-year study of three basements, heat flux sensors provided valuable information about local variations over the envelope surfaces. For complex building geometries, experimental designs that combine calorimetric monitoring of energy consumption with envelope heat flux profiles from heat flux sensors offer the most efficient means of determining building thermal performance.

Download or read book Engineering Application of Heat Flux Sensors in Buildings written by Nigel Isaacs and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1978, new houses in New Zealand have had to achieve minimum levels of thermal insulation. A large field survey was carried out during the winter of 1983. This paper outlines the basis of the survey, the equipment used, and the measurement issues raised by the use of heat flux sensors. The results from a pilot study of 25 houses are discussed in terms of the activities that affect measurements. A comparison of calculated and "measured" R-values for known walls indicates a measurement "calibration" of within 10% for the equipment and analysis.
Download or read book Fabrication and Testing of a Nonstandard Thin film Heat Flux Sensor for Power System Applications written by Scott Dean Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stirling convertors are being operated by NASA Glenn Research Center for many years to demonstrate a Radioisotope Power System (RPS) capable of providing reliable power for potential multi-year space missions. Techniques used to monitor Stirling convertors for change in performance include measurements of temperature, pressure, energy addition, and power output. It is difficult to measure energy addition to Stirling convertors due to the complex geometries of the hot components, temperature limits of sensor materials, and invasive integration of sensors. A thin-film heat flux sensor was used to directly measure heat energy addition to a Stirling convertor. The one micron thick, Gold vs. Platinum thermocouples were designed to make a noninvasive temperature measurement on the surface of an Alumina ceramic disk located between the heat source and Stirling convertor. Fabrication techniques included creation of ceramic substrates, which hold the thermocouples, using the slipcasting technique and creation of the thin metallic film thermocouples using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). The effort succeeded in designing and fabricating unique sensors which, for the first time, were integrated into a Stirling convertor ground test and exposed to test temperatures exceeding 700°C in air for 10,000 hours. The heat transfer measurements are discussed. Also, the sensors were examined after being removed when the test was completed.

Download or read book Volume II Low Enthalpy Geothermal Energy written by Rajandrea Sethi and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low enthalpy geothermal energy has a great potential to reduce the climate impact of building heating and cooling systems. The use of this renewable energy source involves a number of scientific disciplines including energy engineering, heat transfer, geology, hydrogeology, chemistry, and economics. Low enthalpy geothermal energy, i.e., the underground heat available at temperatures below 90°C, has great potential in terms of reducing the climate impact of heating and cooling buildings. It can also be employed for other thermal uses, such as industrial processes, road de-icing, and bathing. The Special Issue “Volume II: Low Enthalpy Geothermal Energy” includes seven articles that discuss the topic from the following points of view: mapping of shallow geothermal potential, recent developments for enhancing the performance of borehole heat exchangers, exploitation of asphalt-covered surfaces for heating, measurement of the thermal conductivity of rocks and sediments, and performance monitoring of closed-loop and open-loop low enthalpy geothermal systems.

Download or read book Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management written by Ken W. Krauss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon storage and fluxes. Wetlands are vital natural assets, including their ability to take-up atmospheric carbon and restrict subsequent carbon loss to facilitate long-term storage. They can be deliberately managed to provide a natural solution to mitigate climate change, as well as to help offset direct losses of wetlands from various land-use changes and natural drivers. Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management presents a collection of wetland research studies from around the world to demonstrate how environmental management can improve carbon sequestration while enhancing wetland health and function. Volume highlights include: Overview of carbon storage in the landscape Introduction to wetland management practices Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
