Project description:Land surface temperature (LST) is a preeminent state variable that controls the energy and water exchange between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. At the landscape-scale, LST is derived from thermal infrared radiance measured using space-borne radiometers. In contrast, plot-scale LST estimation at flux tower sites is commonly based on the inversion of upwelling longwave radiation captured by tower-mounted radiometers, whereas the role of the downwelling longwave radiation component is often ignored. We found that neglecting the reflected downwelling longwave radiation leads not only to substantial bias in plot-scale LST estimation, but also have important implications for the estimation of surface emissivity on which LST is co-dependent. The present study proposes a novel method for simultaneous estimation of LST and emissivity at the plot-scale and addresses in detail the consequences of omitting down-welling longwave radiation as frequently done in the literature. Our analysis uses ten eddy covariance sites with different land cover types and found that the LST values obtained using both upwelling and downwelling longwave radiation components are 0.5-1.5 K lower than estimates using only upwelling longwave radiation. Furthermore, the proposed method helps identify inconsistencies between plot-scale radiometric and aerodynamic measurements, likely due to footprint mismatch between measurement approaches. We also found that such inconsistencies can be removed by slight corrections to the upwelling longwave component and subsequent energy balance closure, resulting in realistic estimates of surface emissivity and consistent relationships between energy fluxes and surface-air temperature differences. The correspondence between plot-scale LST and landscape-scale LST depends on site-specific characteristics, such as canopy density, sensor locations and viewing angles. Here we also quantify the uncertainty in plot-scale LST estimates due to uncertainty in tower-based measurements using the different methods. The results of this work have significant implications for the combined use of aerodynamic and radiometric measurements to understand the interactions and feedbacks between LST and surface-atmosphere exchange processes.

Project description:The determination of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) coefficient is currently plagued by a large uncertainty due to the poor reproducibility of the experimental conditions used in its measurement. In this work we present a detailed analysis of two different methods used for the determination of the LSSE coefficient. We have performed LSSE experiments in different laboratories, by using different setups and employing both the temperature difference method and the heat flux method. We found that the lack of reproducibility can be mainly attributed to the thermal contact resistance between the sample and the thermal baths which generate the temperature gradient. Due to the variation of the thermal resistance, we found that the scaling of the LSSE voltage to the heat flux through the sample rather than to the temperature difference across the sample greatly reduces the uncertainty. The characteristics of a single YIG/Pt LSSE device obtained with two different setups was (1.143 ± 0.007) 10-7 Vm/W and (1.101 ± 0.015) 10-7 Vm/W with the heat flux method and (2.313 ± 0.017) 10-7 V/K and (4.956 ± 0.005) 10-7 V/K with the temperature difference method. This shows that systematic errors can be considerably reduced with the heat flux method.

Project description:This study numerically investigates heat transfer augmentation using water-based Al₂O₃ and CuO nanofluids flowing in a triangular cross-sectional duct under constant heat flux in laminar flow conditions. The Al₂O₃/water nanofluids with different volume fractions (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and CuO/water nanofluids with various volume fractions (0.05%, 0.16%, 0.36%, 0.5%, and 0.8%) are employed, and Reynolds numbers in the range of 700 to 1900 in a laminar flow are considered. The heat transfer rate becomes more remarkable when employing nanofluids. As compared with pure water, at a Peclet number of 7000, a 35% enhancement in the convective heat transfer coefficient, is obtained for an Al₂O₃/water nanofluid with 2% particle volume fraction; at the same Peclet number, a 41% enhancement in the convective heat transfer coefficient is achieved for a CuO/water nanofluid with 0.8% particle volume concentration. Heat transfer enhancement increases with increases in particle volume concentration and Peclet number. Moreover, the numerical results are found to be in good agreement with published experimental data.

Project description:An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of inlet pressure, sample thickness, initial sample temperature, and temperature sensor location on the surface heat flux, surface temperature, and surface ultrafast cooling rate using stainless steel samples of diameter 27 mm and thickness (mm) 8.5, 13, 17.5, and 22, respectively. Inlet pressure was varied from 0.2 MPa to 1.8 MPa, while sample initial temperature varied from 600°C to 900°C. Beck's sequential function specification method was utilized to estimate surface heat flux and surface temperature. Inlet pressure has a positive effect on surface heat flux (SHF) within a critical value of pressure. Thickness of the sample affects the maximum achieved SHF negatively. Surface heat flux as high as 0.4024 MW/m(2) was estimated for a thickness of 8.5 mm. Insulation effects of vapor film become apparent in the sample initial temperature range of 900°C causing reduction in surface heat flux and cooling rate of the sample. A sensor location near to quenched surface is found to be a better choice to visualize the effects of spray parameters on surface heat flux and surface temperature. Cooling rate showed a profound increase for an inlet pressure of 0.8 MPa.

Project description:This document compiles the data related to a high temperature heat injection test, which was carried out at an injection temperature of 74 °C in a shallow aquifer and is presented by Heldt et al. [1]. The data set contains transient measurements of temperatures at 18 wells in 10 depths and measurements of the experimental boundary conditions (injection temperature and flow rate) at a temporal resolution of up to 1 min. The spatial configuration and the technical details about where and how the data have been measured are provided. In addition, data of a multilevel multi well pumping test are shown. The presented data is useful to gain insights into the thermohydraulic processes induced by a high temperature heat injection test and can furthermore be used for the development and verification of numerical models of the presented experiment and similar applications like high temperature aquifer thermal energy storage.

Project description:Long-term, continuous measurement of core body temperature is of high interest, due to the widespread use of this parameter as a key biomedical signal for clinical judgment and patient management. Traditional approaches rely on devices or instruments in rigid and planar forms, not readily amenable to intimate or conformable integration with soft, curvilinear, time-dynamic, surfaces of the skin. Here, materials and mechanics designs for differential temperature sensors are presented which can attach softly and reversibly onto the skin surface, and also sustain high levels of deformation (e.g., bending, twisting, and stretching). A theoretical approach, together with a modeling algorithm, yields core body temperature from multiple differential measurements from temperature sensors separated by different effective distances from the skin. The sensitivity, accuracy, and response time are analyzed by finite element analyses (FEA) to provide guidelines for relationships between sensor design and performance. Four sets of experiments on multiple devices with different dimensions and under different convection conditions illustrate the key features of the technology and the analysis approach. Finally, results indicate that thermally insulating materials with cellular structures offer advantages in reducing the response time and increasing the accuracy, while improving the mechanics and breathability.

Project description:To enable the use of flat flame burners in the context of fire resistance testing, we present a data set covering temperature, infrared emission and heat 15 mm above the burner. A laminar premixed methane-air flame is characterized for eleven different fuel/air ratios, ranging from lean (0.9) to rich (1.45), extending an existing a widely used reference [1]. We provide complementing flame temperature readings from thermocouple measurements that can be used for calibration. In addition, broadband flame optical emissions are acquired in the visual (VIS) and the infrared (IR) spectral region. Chemiluminescence measurements reveal the spatial distribution of the OH* radicals. Heat flux density measurements with a water-cooled gauge are also provided. Finally, the expected species concentration, velocity, temperature are obtained from chemical kinetics calculations. Ambient conditions and burner control parameters are presented as supplementary data.

Project description:Non-invasive core body temperature (CBT) measurements using temperature and heat-flux have become popular in health, sports, work safety, and general well-being applications. This research aimed to evaluate two commonly used sensor designs: those that combine heat flux and temperature sensors, and those with four temperature sensors. We used analytical methods, particularly uncertainty analysis calculus and Monte Carlo simulations, to analyse measurement accuracy, which depends on the accuracy of the temperature and flux sensors, mechanical construction parameters (such as heat transfer coefficient), ambient air temperature, and CBT values. The results show the relationship between the accuracy of each measurement method variant and various sensor parameters, indicating their suitability for different scenarios. All measurement variants showed unstable behaviour around the point where ambient temperature equals CBT. The ratio of the heat transfer coefficients of the dual-heat flux (DHF) sensor's channels impacts the CBT estimation uncertainty. An analysis of the individual components of uncertainty in CBT estimates reveals that the accuracy of temperature sensors significantly impacts the overall uncertainty of the CBT measurement. We also calculated the theoretical limits of measurement uncertainty, which varied depending on the method variant and could be as low as 0.05 °C.

Project description:Building roads in permafrost region is challenged because permafrost is sensitive to temperature increase. As an embankment gains/drains heat mostly at the upper surface, accurately modeling the heat transfer in the upper surface is crucial to understand the thermal stability of the road. Popular methods treat the upper boundary as a temperature-controlled model (TCM), where temperature of the upper surface is set as a sinusoidal function. This simple function, however, fails to identify the influences of solar irradiance, heat convection, and thermal irradiance on the heat transfer on the ground surface. Here we introduce a heat-flux model (HFM) to calculate the heat fluxes at the embankment upper surface and at the adjacent ground surface. HFM-predicted temperature under an embankment is compared against the observed temperature to validate the model, and is compared to the TCM-predicted temperature. While TCM-predicted temperatures and HFM-predicted ones are similar in trend and in pattern, the HFM-predicted temperatures are far more coincident with the observed ones. The pros and cons of both HFM and TCM are discussed. Further studies are expected to use HFM to understand the heat flux components such as solar absorption, heat convection, and thermal irradiance on the temperature of permafrost under embankments.
