A whole systems approach to modelling low carbon urban heat provision

The dense heat demand of cities provides a challenging environment for developing low carbon heating. Deployment of a mix of technologies will be needed at both an individual building level and a district level, using heat networks in high demand areas to ...

Embedding Stochasticity in Building Simulation Through Synthetic Weather Files

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi

This paper presents an attempt to create synthetic weather data for stochastic building simulation. The synthetic data are created entirely from the freely available Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather files using time series models and resampling. T ...

Thermal boundary conductance between refractory metal carbides and diamond

Christian Monachon, Ludger Weber

The thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between thin films of Cr, Mo, Nb and W and diamond substrates has been measured using time domain thermoreflectance before and after a high-vacuum heat treatment at 800 degrees C for 2 h. While no signs of carbide for ...

Experimental and numerical characterisation of heat flow during flame cutting of thick steel plates

Jean-Marie Drezet, Jean-Paul Lebet, Raphaël Thiébaud

Temperatures measurements during flame cutting of a thick steel plate and measurements of the extension of the fusion and heat affected zones and Vickers hardness after cutting have been performed. Additionally, a 3-D thermal model for simulation of flame- ...

Memory of past random wave conditions in submarine groundwater discharge

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an integral part of the hydrological cycle and represents an important aspect of land-ocean interactions. We used a numerical model to simulate flow and salt transport in a nearshore groundwater aquifer under varyin ...

NOM degradation during river infiltration: Effects of the climate variables temperature and discharge

Urs von Gunten, Janet Gordon Hering

Most peri-alpine shallow aquifers fed by rivers are oxic and the drinking water derived by riverbank filtration is generally of excellent quality. However, observations during past heat waves suggest that water quality may be affected by climate change due ...

Microchannel Flow Boiling Heat Transfer, Update on the Latest Experimental and Numerical Contributions

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini, Sylwia Szczukiewicz

The scope of the present paper is to provide a brief and concise survey of the most recent experimental and computational studies aimed at characterizing local heat transfer in microchannels in flow boiling conditions. The significant developments in the m ...

Statistical modelling of ground temperature in mountain permafrost

Anthony Christopher Davison, Juliette Ferial Blanchet

Permafrost consists of soil and rocks that remain at 0 degrees C or below for at least two consecutive years. In mountains, permafrost ground ice acts like cement, stabilizing rock walls. Its degradation, following climate warming, may lead to slope instab ...
