Mohd. Farid Mohamed in OpenAIRENatural ventilation performance can be influenced by various factors, including facade treatments such as balconies. Balconies have been commonly incorporated into residential buildings for various purposes, yet the provision of a balcony as a passive design strategy to improve natural ventilation is not one of its common purposes. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of balcony design on the natural ventilation performance of cross-ventilated high-rise apartments. This study uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models to predict ventilation performance. CFD models are selected because of their accuracy, flexibility and ability to provide comprehensive data for the investigation. This study suggests that balconies in high-rise apartments could improve the ventilation performance of high-rise apartments, but that balconies can also have a negative impact on ventilation performance if not appropriately designed. Finally, this study suggests that balconies could improve the level of thermal comfort and indoor air quality of apartments by providing greater indoor air speed and better ventilation performance, respectively.

Nagarathinam Srinarayana in OpenAIREAbstract The rapid growth in data centres – large computing infrastructures containing vast quantities of data processing and storage equipment – has resulted in their consumption of up to 100 times more energy per square metre than office accommodation. The decrease in processing server sizes and the more efficient use of space and server processing are challenging data centre facilities to provide more power and cooling, significantly increasing energy demands. Energy consumption of data centres can be severely and unnecessarily high due to inadequate localised cooling and densely packed server rack layouts. However, as heat dissipation in data centres rises by orders of magnitude, inefficiencies such as air recirculation causing hot spots and flow short-circuiting will have a significant impact on the thermal manageability and energy efficiency of the cooling infrastructure. Therefore, an efficient thermal management of high-powered electronic equipment is a significant challenge for cooling of data centres. To highlight the importance of some of these issues, in this project, an operational data centre has been studied. Field measurements of temperature have been performed. Numerical analysis of flow and temperature fields is conducted in order to evaluate the thermal behaviour of the data centre. A number of undesirable hot spots have been identified. To rectify the problem, a few practical design and remedial solutions to improve the cooling effectiveness have been proposed and examined to allow a reduced air-conditioning power requirement. The findings lead to a better understanding of the cooling issues and the respective proposed solutions allow an improved design for future data centres.

Masud Behnia in OpenAIREA steam turbine CHP system with the option for co-firing biomass was examined under current carbon pricing legislation and the proposed emissions reduction policy of the newly elected Federal Government in Australia. When the boiler was fuelled by coal, the system was liable for the carbon price and was unprofitable indicating that the carbon price was successful as an incentive to reduce emissions. This result held only whilst carbon prices were at the values assumed in the analysis. The system would be more financially beneficial under the new Government policy, as it would not be penalized for its high emissions. All systems operating with a natural gas-fuelled boiler were unprofitable. In an attempt to reduce emissions, a co-fired boiler with biomass and coal was proposed. Emissions at 20 % biomass were still above the threshold determining liability; therefore, co-firing was not able to eliminate carbon pricing liability. Due to the high price of biomass, the carbon price could not be offset and was therefore not an economical solution for reducing emissions. However, when biomass pricing was adopted from more established markets, co-firing became somewhat conducive only when the carbon price was repealed.

Maitane Berecibar in OpenAIREAbstract Thermal management of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in Electrical Vehicles (EVs) is important due to extreme heat generation during fast charging/discharging. In the current study, a sandwiched configuration of the heat pipes cooling system (SHCS) is suggested for the high current discharging of lithium-titanate (LTO) battery cell. The temperature of the LTO cell is experimentally evaluated in the 8C discharging rate by different cooling strategies. Results indicate that the maximum cell temperature in natural convection reaches 56.8 °C. In addition, maximum cell temperature embedded with SCHS for the cooling strategy using natural convection, forced convection for SHCS, and forced convection for cell and SHCS reach 49 °C, 38.8 °C, and 37.8 °C which can reduce the cell temperature by up to 13.7%, 31.6%, and 33.4% respectively. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model using COMSOL Multiphysics® is developed and comprehensively validated with experimental results. This model is then employed to investigate the thermal performance of the SHCS under different transient boundary conditions.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal 2002Publisher:Elsevier BV Abstract A novel design for an advanced solar water heater has been proposed. The design incorporates a double-sided flat plate absorber mounted on stationary concentrators. An experimental program is being undertaken to investigate the heat loss characteristics of the proposed design. The experimental rig is a full-scale model, located in a temperature-controlled room. Electric heaters have been used to simulate the absorber plate and thermocouples are used to measure the surface temperature on the heater plates as well as the ambient temperature. Low iron, anti-reflective glass, of the type used in a standard flat plate collector is used for the glass cover and the two concentrating reflectors have been modelled using aluminised reflective sheet. Heat loss measurements have been carried out over a range of heater temperatures from 30 to 100 °C. The overall heat transfer co-efficients obtained from the model are 30–70% lower than from conventional flat plate designs. The preliminary results indicate that considerable reductions in heat loss may be obtained with this design compared to conventional designs.

A new correlation for heat transfer in horizontal mantle heat exchangers with bottom entry and exit ports was used to predict the overall heat transfer and stratification conditions in horizontal tanks with mantle heat exchangers. The model of a mantle heat exchanger tank was combined with the thermosyphon solar collector loop model in TRNSYS to develop a model of a thermosyphon solar water heater with collector loop heat exchanger. Predictions of stratification conditions in a horizontal mantle tank are compared with transient charging tests in a laboratory test rig. Predictions of daily energy gain in solar preheaters and in systems with in-tank auxiliary boosters are compared with extensive outdoor measurements and the model is found to give reliable results for both daily and long-term performance analysis.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic performance of spiral plate heat exchangers (SPHEs) and their channels by considering the fluid friction effect and no heat leakage to the environment. An optimal design algorithm for SPHEs is developed to find higher compactness and the overall heat transfer coefficient by increasing channels pressure drops, maintaining the geometric aspect ratio, and minimizing total costs. To determine the internal temperature distributions and the rates of heat transfer, a mathematical model is proposed. Fluid friction effects are examined as viscous heating; for this purpose, new parameters of the viscous heating entransy number and viscous heating entransy resistance are defined. Finally, various single-phase countercurrent SPHEs assuming a constant heat transfer rate, are modeled and compared in terms of energy, entropy generation, and entransy criteria. The results show the fluid friction effects as pressure drop effects in entropy generation are insignificant when compared to those caused by heat transfer. However, fluid effects as viscous heating in entransy analysis show that these effects can be rather significant in SPHEs with large spiral turn numbers or small values of heat capacity rate ratios. The obtained data suggest the significant role of entransy methods and their reliability to entropy generation methods in thermodynamic performance evaluation of SPHEs.

A number of heat extraction methods from all-glass evacuated tubes have been developed and the water-in-glass concept has been found to be the most successful due to its simplicity and low manufacturing cost. In this paper, the performance of a water-in-glass evacuated tube solar pre-heater is investigated using the International Standard test method ISO 9459-2 for a range of locations. Factors influencing the operation of water-in-glass collector tubes are discussed and a numerical study of water circulation through long single-ended thermosyphon tubes is presented. Preliminary numerical simulations have shown the existence of inactive region near the sealed end of the tube which might influence the performance of the collector.

Masud Behnia in OpenAIREThe photovoltaic module capacity has been growing remarkably in Australia from only 0.777 MW in 2001 to 8000 MW in 2018. The main reasons behind this evolution is, consumer awareness about the PV panels’ reliability and durability, overall environmental benefits, and government encouragement by providing reasonable tariffs. The useful lifetime of PV modules is around 30 years; after which they are converted to waste. As a result, a huge amount of outdated photovoltaic modules will be discarded and consigned to the waste stream in the near future in Australia. This paper analyses the potential emerging PV waste flow that will be generated between 2031 and 2047 in Australia and highlights the proportion of the waste in terms of the types of materials. It is predicted that the cumulative PV waste will reach around 1 million tonnes. The main components of the waste are 554 kilotonnes (kt) of Glass, followed by 124 kilotonnes of Aluminum. PV wastes are classified into different groups based on their characteristics, and the analysis results show that the future PV waste will contain about 344 tonnes of the precious metals like Ag, 63 tonnes of hazardous types of metals like Cd, Pb and Se, as well as the 4103 tonnes of other the critical substances. Finally, this paper sheds more valuable insights into the management pathway of this complex waste from different perspectives such as policy and regulation, recycling and reverse logistics supply chain.

The thermal performance of a natural draft dry cooling tower (NDDCT) under a crosswind has been investigated using a general-purpose CFD code. A three-dimensional study using the standard k-e turbulence model to simulate airflow in and around an NDDCT has been conducted. A parametric study has been carried out to examine the effect of crosswind velocity profile and air dry-bulb temperature on the thermal performance of an NDDCT. Two approaches have been considered in this study to quantify the crosswind effect. Firstly, simulations have been conducted at the nominal conditions and crosswind effect has been represented by thermal effectiveness parameter. Secondly, the ejected heat from the NDDCT has been maintained at a constant value (285 MW) and the crosswind effect has been represented by the change in the cooling tower approach parameter. After quantifying the effect of the crosswind on the thermal performance, windbreak walls have been introduced as a means of reducing this effect. The results in this paper show the importance of considering the crosswind velocity profile. Moreover, the introduction of windbreak walls has indicated an improvement in reducing the thermal performance losses due to the crosswind.
