Inlet fluid temperature of the BRE in the geothermal heat pump system depends on heat exchange rate between the refrigerant of the heat pump and the leaving fluid from the BRE. Because the outlet fluid temperature of the BHE varies with time, inlet fluid temperature has to vary with time. In this study, the module to calculate inlet fluid temperature is developed, which can consider the time-varying outlet fluid temperature and the heat exchange capacity of the heat pump. It is assumed that heat loss or gain of the leaving fluid from outlet to inlet of the BHE is negligible, except when the fluid contacts with the refrigerant of the heat pump. This module is combined with TOUGHREACT, a widely accepted three-dimensional numerical simulator for heat and water flow and geochemical reactions in geothermal systems and is applied to data analyses of the thermal response test.

This paper deals with approximate analytical solutions for the two-region one-dimensional model describing the charging process of stratified thermal storage tanks at variable inlet temperature with momentum-induced mixing. An arbitrarily increasing inlet temperature is decomposed into inherent step changes and intervals of continuous change. Each continuous interval is approximated as a finite number of piecewise linear functions, which admits an analytical solution for perfectly mixed region. Using the Laplace transform, the temperature profiles in plug flow region with both the semi-infinite and adiabatic ends are successfully derived in terms of well-defined functions. The effect of end condition on the solution proves to be negligible under the practical operating conditions. For a Quadratic variation of inlet temperature, the approximate solution employing a moderate number of pieces agrees excellently with the exact solution.

This study analyzes thermal stress and durability fatigue on the modelling of EGR valve. In case of 10% opening at its inlet, the minimum temperature gets cool as 3 times as inlet temperature. The maximum equivalent stress becomes lowest as the value of $2.6274{\times}109$ Pa and fatigue life becomes highest as 23.657 Cycle. But the minimum temperature gets cool as 2.2 times as inlet temperature in case of 50% opening at its inlet. The equivalent stress becomes higher and fatigue life becomes lower than in case of 10% opening. In case of 100% opening at its inlet, the minimum temperature gets cool as 0.2 times as inlet temperature. The equivalent stress becomes lower and fatigue life becomes higher than in case of 50% opening. Maximum equivalent stress and total deformation are shown at the closing of EGR valve by the pressure of inflow gas. The structural analysis result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design of EGR valve by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

Recently, gas turbine generators are widely used for frequency control of power systems. Although the inlet temperature of a gas turbine is a key factor related to the performance and lifespan of the device, the inlet temperature is not measured directly for reasons such as the turbine structure and operating environment. In particular, the inlet temperature of the reheating gas turbine is very important for stable operation management, but field workers are experiencing a lot of difficulties because the manufacturer does not provide information on the calculation formula. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method for estimating the inlet temperature of a gas turbine using a machine learning-based linear regression analysis method based on a polytropic process equation. In addition, by proposing an inlet temperature calculation algorithm through the usefulness analysis and verification of the inlet temperature calculation model obtained through linear regression analysis, it is intended to help to improve the level of reheat gas turbine combustion tuning technology.

Numerical simulations of high temperature catalytic combustion have been performed for the application to a gas turbine combustor. Dependences of inlet temperature and pressure on the distributions of temperature and species concentrations were investigated using plug flow model with detailed homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistries of methane-air mixtures. Honeycomb typecombustor deposited with Pt catalyst of 100mm in length and 26mm in diameter is used. The results show that rapid increase of temperature profile occurs earlier with the increase of inlet temperature and the decrease of inlet pressure. The condition which catalytic combustion is stabilized exists at certain range of inlet temperature and pressure. The state of catalytic combustion is also confirmed by the distributions of species concentration.

One aims to find out how the operation condition of secondary inlet angle effects the temperature distribution inside a small incinerator. A finite volume commercial code, PHONICS, is used to simulate the temperature field in an incinerator. The computational grid system is constructed by Multi-Block technique. The governing equations based on the curvilinear coordinates are used. Numerical experiments are done with the five variations of secondary air inlet. The temperature distribution is quantified by the statistical deviation of temperature in an incinerator. The computational analysis says that the certain angle of secondary air inlet could improve the uniformity of temperature distribution in an incinerator.

It is absolutely necessary to measure the inlet pressure and temperature of a turbine or a compressor to evaluate the performance of it. And to measure the representative-averaged pressure and temperature of turbine inlet flow, rake is normally used. Rake has several elements for temperature and pressure and several rakes are installed at the inlet to average the radial and circumferential distribution of inlet flow. However the rakes cause unexpected losses and flow distortion at the turbine inlet which make the measured rake data different from true inlet value. So the evaluation of a turbine or a compressor performance becomes not accurate. This study suggest a correlation method which measure the loss by inlet rake and incorporates it in evaluating the performance of turbomachinery.

This paper presents an approximate analytical solution to a two-region one-dimensional model for the charging process of stratified thermal storage tanks with variable inlet temperature in the presence of momentum-induced mixing. Based on the superposition principle, an arbitrary-varying inlet temperature is decomposed into inherent discontinuous steps and continuous intervals approximated as a finite number of piecewise linear functions. This approximation allows the temperature of the upper perfectly-mixed layer to be expressed in terms of constant, linear and exponential functions with respect to time. Applying the Laplace transform technique to the model equation for the lower thermocline layer subject to each of three representative interfacial conditions yields compact-form solutions, a linear combination of which constitutes the final temperature profile. A systematic method for deriving solutions to the plug-flow problem having polynomial-type boundary conditions is also established. The effect of adiabatic exit boundary on solution behaviors proves to be negligible under the actual working conditions, which justifies the assumption of semi-infinite domain introduced in the solution procedure. Finally, the approximate solution is validated by comparing it with an exact solution obtained for a specific variation of inlet temperature. Excellent agreements between them suffice to show the necessity and utility of this work.

The combustion efficiency of the solid fuel ramjet is affected by the inlet air temperature. And this inlet air temperature is dependent on the flight Mach number and the environment air temperature. If the flight altitude is changeable, the inlet air temperature and the air density also vary. The performance efficiency is investigated with this variables related to the combustion efficiency.

Turbocharger bearings are under the circumstance of high temperature, moreover rotated at high speed. It is necessary to be designed overcoming the high temperature. So the type of oil inlet port, the inlet oil temperature and the sort of engine oil should be designed, controlled and selected carefully in order to reduce the bearing inside temperature. In this study, the influence of aerated oil on a high-speed journal bearing is also examined by using the classical thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory coupled with analytical models for viscosity and density of air-oil mixture in fluid-film bearing. Convection to the walls and mixing with supply oil and re-circulating oil are considered. The considered parameters for the study of bubbly lubrication are oil inlet port's type, oil aeration level and shaft speed. It is found that the type of oil inlet ports and shaft speed play important roles in determining the temperature and pressure, then the friction and load of journal bearing at high speed operation. Also, the results show that, under extremely high shaft speed, the high shear effects on aerated oil and the high temperature effects are canceled out each other. So, the bearing load and friction show almost no difference between the aerated oil and pure oil.
