The heat transfer performance of heating medium oil fluidized bed heat exchanger was measured. The operation variables were air flow rate, air inlet temperature, moisture content, water flow rate and water inlet temperature. The outside heat transfer coefficient was determined from the heat exchanger experiment and its experimental correlation was determined as a function of air velocity and viscosity of heating medium oil. Effect of viscosity was well agreed with the previous studies. Errors of the correlation equation was less than about 10% for outside heat transfer coefficient developed in this study when compared with the measured value. Hot water with the temperature greater than $77^{\circ}C$ could be produced by using the heating medium oil fluidized bed heat exchanger.

The heat transfer performance of a multi-heat-source fluidized bed heat exchanger was analyzed. The fluidized bed heat exchanger examined in this study can simultaneously recover the waste heat from gas, water vapor, and hot water. The effects of waste water flow rate, gas flow rate, and cooling water flow rate were examined to find their experimental correlations with the heat transfer coefficient. A computer program using the correlations was developed in this study to predict the thermal performance of the fluidized bed heat exchanger. The calculated heat transfer rates of gas, water vapor, waste water, and cooling water were compared with the measured values. It was found that the error of the calculated values was less than 12%.

CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in an aqueous phase in order to investigate their spectral behaviors as efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donors for various organic dye acceptors. Our prepared CdS NPs exhibiting strong and broad emission spectra between 480-520 nm were able to transfer energy in a wide wavelength region from green to red fluorescence dyes. Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), rhodamine B (RhB), and sulforhodamine 101 acid (Texas red) were tested as acceptors of the energy transfer from the CdS NPs. The three dyes and synthesized CdS NPs exhibited good FRET behaviors as acceptors and donors, respectively. Energy transfers from the CdS NPs and organic Cy3 dye were compared to the same acceptor Texas red dye at different concentrations. Our prepared CdS NPs appeared to exhibit better FRET behaviors comparable to those of the Cy3 dye. These CdS NPs in an aqueous solution may be efficient FRET donors for various organic dyes in a wide wavelength range between green and red colors.

In this paper, we propose one-bit feedback-based distributed beamforming (DBF) techniques for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in interference channels where the information transfer and power transfer networks coexist in the same frequency spectrum band. In a power transfer network, multiple distributed energy transmission nodes transmit their energy signals to a single energy receiving node capable of harvesting wireless radio frequency energy. Here, by considering the Internet-of-Things sensor network, the energy harvesting/information decoding receivers (ERx/IRx) can report their status (which may include the received signal strength, interference, and channel state information) through one-bit feedback channels. To maximize the amount of energy transferred to the ERx and simultaneously minimize the interference to the IRx, we developed a DBF technique based on one-bit feedback from the ERx/IRx without sharing the information among distributed transmit nodes. Finally, the proposed DBF algorithm in the interference channel is verified through the simulations and also implemented in real time by using GNU radio and universal software radio peripheral.

Metal hydride is suitable for safe storage of hydrogen. The hydrogen storage kinetics of the metal hydride are highly dependent on its heat transfer characteristics. This study presents a metal hydride-expended graphite composite with improved thermal conductivity and its hydrogen storage kinetics. To improve the heat transfer characteristics, a metal hydride was mixed and compacted with a high thermal conductivity additive. As the hydrogen storage material, AB5 type metal hydride La0.9Ce0.1Ni5 was used. As an additive, flakes-type expended graphite was used. With improved heat transfer characteristics, the metal hydride-expended graphite composite stores hydrogen four times faster than metal hydride powder.

Due to the coupling between momentum and energy transport theoretical analysis of the loop performance is very complicate, therefore it is necessary that these problems be solved by experimental investigation before applying the loop thermosyphon to heat exchanger de-sign. The evaporator and condenser of the loop thermosyphon were made of carbon-steel, and distilled water was used as working fluid in the experiments. From the experimental data correlations of heat transfer coefficient for evaporator and condenser sections were obtained. For heat fluxes in the range of 13000~78000 W/$m^2$, the correlation equations of heat transfer coefficients in evaporator and condenser predict the experimental behavior to within $\pm$5% and $\pm$20% respectively.

In the present paper, a coaxial rotating smeared crack model is proposed for mass concrete in three-dimensional space. The model is capable of applying both the constant and variable shear transfer coefficients in the cracking process. The model considers an advanced yield function for concrete failure under both static and dynamic loadings and calculates cracking or crushing of concrete taking into account the fracture energy effects. The model was utilized on Koyna Dam using finite element technique. Dam-water and dam-foundation interactions were considered in dynamic analysis. The behavior of dam was studied for different shear transfer coefficients considering/neglecting fracture energy effects. The results were extracted at crest displacement and crack profile within the dam body. The results show the importance of both shear transfer coefficient and the fracture energy in seismic analysis of concrete dams under high hydrostatic pressure.

In this study, a series of thermal numerical analysis was conducted through the ground condition and the length and shape of the energy pile. In order to investigate the effect of the thermal properties of ground condition, grout and pile type on heat transfer efficiency in the U-type heat exchanger in energy pile, thermal numerical analysis was done by using ABAQUS. ABAQUS, a finite element analyzing program, was employed to evaluate the temperature distribution on the cross section of energy pile system incorporating HDPE - grout - pile - Ground condition which consists of clay, sand, rock type soil and ground water.

One of the effective means to transfer the heat into and from the energy storage medium is thermosyphon. In this study, a two-phase closed thermosyphon with circular fins was used to extract the thermal energy stored in paraffin wax (Sunoco p-116). Heat transfer characteristics along the heat flow path were investigated as well as the overall performance. Some of the important results are as follows: (1) The temperature distribution of the wax in the radial direction was always maintained fairly uniformly; (2) Compared with bare thermosyphon, the heat transfer rate was vastly improved in the early stage of the experiment; and (3) Heat transfer coefficient between the wax and evaporating section of thermosyphon remained nearly constant during the experiment.

The transition probabilities for the thermal intramolecular electron transfer and the optical intervalence transfer band for a symmetric mixed-valence Cu(I)-Cu(II) compound were used to extract the PKS parameters $\varepsilon$ = -1.15, ${\lambda}$ = 2.839, and ${\nu}g$- = 923 $cm^{-1}$. These parameters determine the potential energy surfaces and vibronic energy levels. Three pairs of vibrational levels are below the top of the energy barrier in the lower potential surface. The contribution of each vibrational state to the intramolecular electron transfer was calculated. It is shown that the three pairs of vibrational states below the top of the barrier are responsible for most of the electron transfer at 261-306 K. So the intramolecular electron transfer in this system is a tunneling process. The transition probability exhibits the usual high-temperature Arrhenius behavior, but at lower temperature falls off to a temperature-independent value as tunneling from the lowest levels becomes the limiting process.
