Abstract:
The premiere of The Carrier Frequency took place in 1984, the result of a collaboration between Leeds-based Impact Theatre Cooperative and the novelist Russell Hoban. Impact was founded in 1978 by Claire MacDonald, Pete Brooks, Steve Schill, Graeme Miller, Tyrone Huggins, and Richard Hawley, with Nikki Johnson and Heather Ackroyd joining in subsequent years. Many companies since have cited Impact as a major inspiration, with The Carrier Frequency in particular achieving almost mythic status. Today, Impact has long since disbanded, and little documentation of their work remains to enable their legacy to be passed on. In April 1999, the theatre company Stan's Cafe (none of whom had seen the original show) decided to restage The Carrier Frequency as part of Birmingham's ‘Towards the Millennium’ festival; in association with this project, a symposium was held on the subject of ‘Archaeology, Repertory, and Theatre Inheritance’. What follows is a personal response to the experience of attending the symposium and performance, and records a variety of attitudes towards myth-making, re-creation, and the potential and problems of documentation. Frances Babbage lectures in Theatre Studies at the University of Leeds.

Abstract:
In this article Patrick Duggan interrogates The Paper Birds' 2010 production Others to explore the political and ethical implications of embodying the (verbatim) texts of others. Built from a six-month exchange of letters between the company and a prisoner, a celebrity (a very non-committal Heather Mills, apparently), and an Iranian artist, Others fuses live music with verbatim and physical theatre texts to investigate the ‘otherness’ of women from vastly divergent cultural contexts. With equal measures of humour and honesty the performance deconstructs these voices both to highlight their particular concerns and problems and to interrogate larger issues relating to ‘others’ with whom we have conscious or unconscious contact. The ethical implications of continuing or discontinuing the correspondences with the three women are explored, and trauma and embodiment theories are used alongside Lévinasian and Russellian theories of ethics to ask what an encounter with such others might teach us about ourselves, about the traumatized other and about the ethics of encounter within performance texts. Patrick Duggan is Lecturer in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Exeter. A practising director, he has also taught extensively in the UK and Ireland as well as in Germany and the United States. He is author of Trauma-Tragedy: Symptoms of Contemporary Performance (Manchester University Press, 2012) and co-edited Reverberations: Britishness, Aesthetics and Small-Scale Theatres (Intellect, 2013) and a special issue of the journal Performance Research ‘On Trauma’ (Taylor and Francis, 2011).

Full text
Abstract:
A flexible transparent heater is presented, based on an all-sprayed composite architecture of indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) layers that sandwich a network of silver nanowires, on a polyimide-foil substrate. This architecture could be materialized through the development of a low-temperature (240 °C) spray-pyrolysis process for the IZO layers, which is compatible with the thermal stability of the transparent polyimide substrate and allows for the formation of compact and transparent layers, without precipitates. The IZO layers entirely embed the silver nanowires, offering protection against environmental degradation and decreasing the junction resistance of the nanowire network. The resulting transparent heaters have a high mean transmittance of 0.76 (including the substrate) and sheet resistance of 7.5 Ω/sq. A steady-state temperature of ~130 °C is achieved at an applied bias of 3.5 V, with fast heater response times, with a time constant of ~4 s The heater is mechanically stable, reaching or surpassing 100 °C (at 3.5 V), under tensile, respectively, compressive-bending stress. This work shows that high-performance transparent heaters can be fabricated using all-sprayed oxide/silver-nanowire composite coatings, that are compatible with large-scale and low-cost production.

Full text
Abstract:
Microrobots and nanorobots have been produced with various nature-inspired soft materials and operating mechanisms. However, freely operating a wirelessly miniaturized soft robot remains a challenge. In this study, a wireless crawling compact soft robot using induction heating was developed. The magnetic composite heater built into the robot was heated wirelessly via induction heating, causing a phase change in the working fluid surrounding the heater. The pressure generated from the evaporated fluid induces the bending of the robot, which is composed of elastomers. During one cycle of bending by heating and shrinking by cooling, the difference in the frictional force between the two legs of the robot causes it to move forward. This robot moved 7240 μm, representing 103% of its body length, over nine repetitions. Because the robot’s surface is made of biocompatible materials, it offers new possibilities for a soft exploratory microrobot that can be used inside a living body or in a narrow pipe.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe “Luther film” is still a little-examined source for the Protestant self-image, despite the fact that the medium was employed since 1911 to portray the history of the Reformation. Of the four known silent films on the subject, two are preserved only as copies of a late censored version. There is a clearly recognizable paradigm shift in the portrayal of the reformer over the twenty-year span of these Luther films. Luther is transformed from the romantic aesthete of the “Wittenberger Nachtigall” in 1913 to the hero of the “deutschen Reformation” in 1927. Concerning the earliest films, made in 1911 (“Doktor Martin Luther”) and 1913 (“Wittenberger Nachtigall” renamed “Der Weg zur Sonne” in 1921), the circumstances of and grounds for production are no longer entirely clear. Most likely they were primarily concerned with commercial enterprise, but at the same time they reflected the spirit of the Luther-Renaissance in a popular way. Nevertheless the importance of the silent movie for the transfer of the patterns and images of Lutheran iconography into film cannot be underestimated. A fundamental difference from the later films is the focus of the earlier films’ biographical narrative upon Luther’s wedding. This approach would not be used again until after World War II. The influence of the church can first be demonstrated in the Luther film of 1923. The initiative for the film - in light of the meeting of the Lutheran World Assembly in Eisenach on August 21, 1923 - probably came from the Baron von den Heyden- Rynsch, who was at that time head of the Eisenach city Bureau for Art, Sport and Tourism. The highest church authorities supported the production in two ways: they offered scriptwriting advice and also eventually allowed the film to be distributed through the Evangelical Picture Association (Evangelische Bilderkammer|). However, the resulting film received mixed reviews. This was due not only to deficiencies in the acting, but also to the tentative portrayal of the film’s religious subject matter. “Luther. Ein Film der deutschen Reformation” (1926-1927) was much more professionally and lavishly produced. It completely served the national Protestant propaganda of the Evangelical League (Evangelischer Bund|), which founded the production company. The chairman of the League, the Berlin cathedral pastor and university professor Bruno Döhring, had a decisive influence on the script. The film, which would be in wide release until 1939, effectively extended the cultural conflict between the two leading churches, Catholic and Lutheran. It would finally lead to the sort of denominational conflicts that halted the tradition of Luther films in Germany. (Translation by Heather McCune Bruhn, Pennstate College)

Abstract:
In this study, we demonstrate a compact actuation mechanism of a silicon capillary stop microvalve, based on electrothermal expansion of a trapped air bubble in a chamber. The bubble is heated using an integrated aluminum microheater deposited on the silicon substrate above the air chamber. The heater occupies an area of 320 µm × 300 µm and has a resistance of 40 Ohms. By applying a 500 ms voltage pulse of 3 V amplitude we could generate a pressure sufficient to breach the capillary barrier pressure of valve, which is around 1000 Pa.

Abstract:
The project deals with the reduction of using multiple cranes during the lifting of the Centre section parts and introducing a new system called lifting beam. The lifting beam is designed to carry a weight of 18- 20tons with the self weight of 2-2.5 tons ,reducing the involvement of more number of employees and eliminating the unwanted processes like gas cutting and welding during multiple crane usage, which results in making the Air pre heater (APH) to preheat the fresh Atmospheric air which takes the heat from outgoing Exhaust gas. APH is the device to improve the efficiency that is used generally in the thermal power plants, the main aim of this project also lies in making the lifting beam the versatile one which must be used for both the types of the centre section parts i.e., both the type of pre heaters that are being manufactured in the company of different power capacity of respective length 16 and 18 meters.

Full text
Abstract:
We present Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray, Very Large Array (VLA) radio, and optical observations of three candidate compact steep spectrum (CSS) radio galaxies. CSS sources are of a galactic scale and are presumably driving a shock through the interstellar medium (ISM) of their host galaxy. B3 1445+410 is a low-excitation emission line CSS radio galaxy with possibly a hybrid Fanaroff-Riley FRI/II (or fat double) radio morphology. The Chandra observations reveal a point-like source that is well fit with a power law consistent with the emission from a Doppler boosted core. 3C 268.3 is a CSS broad-line radio galaxy (BLRG) whose Chandra data are consistent spatially with a point source centered on the nucleus and spectrally with a double power-law model. PKS B1017-325 is a low-excitation emission line radio galaxy with a bent double radio morphology. While from our new spectroscopic redshift, PKS B1017-325 falls outside the formal definition of a CSS, the XMM-Newton observations are consistent with ISM emission with either a contribution from hot shocked gas or non-thermal jet emission. We compile selected radio and X-ray properties of the nine bona fide CSS radio galaxies with X-ray detections so far. We find that two out of the nine show X-ray spectroscopic evidence for hot shocked gas. We note that the counts in the sources are low and that the properties of the two sources with evidence for hot shocked gas are typical of the other CSS radio galaxies. We suggest that hot shocked gas may be typical of CSS radio galaxies due to their propagation through their host galaxies.

Guarnieri, Raniero Alberto. "Novel approaches to the design of domestic solar hot water systems." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2005. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/16056/1/Raniero_Guarnieri_Thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
Domestic solar hot water units, if properly designed, are capable of providing all hot water needs in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way. Despite 50 years of development, commercial technology has not yet achieved substantial market penetration compared to mainstream electric and gas options. Therefore, alternate designs are warranted if they can offer similar or greater performance for a comparable cost to conventional units. This study proved that such alternatives are possible by designing and testing two novel solar hot water systems (SHWS). The first system used compound parabolic collector (CPC) panels to concentrate solar energy and produce steam. The steam moved from a rooftop downward into a heat exchange pipe within a ground level water tank, heating the water, condensing and falling into a receptacle. The operation was entirely passive, since the condensate was pulled up due to the partial vacuum that occurred after system cooling. Efficiencies of up to 40% were obtained. The second system used an air heater panel. Air was circulated in open and closed loop configuration (air recycling) by means of a fan/blower motor and was forced across a compact heat exchanger coupled to a water tank. This produced a natural thermosiphon flow heating the water. Air recycling mode provided higher system efficiencies: 34% vs. 27%. The concurrent development of an analytical model that reasonably predicted heat transfer dynamics of these systems allowed 1) performance optimisation for specific input/starting operating conditions and 2) virtual design improvements. The merit of this model lay in its acceptable accuracy in spite of its simplicity. By optimising for operating conditions and parameter design, both systems are capable of providing over 30 MJ of useful domestic hot water on clear days, which equates roughly to an increase of 35°C in a 200 L water tank. This will satisfy, on average, daily hot water requirements for a 4-person household, particularly in low-latitude regions (eg. Queensland). Preliminary costing for these systems puts them on par with conventional units, with the passive, remotely coupled, low maintenance, CPC SHWS comparable to higher end models. The air heater SHWS, by contrast, was much more economical and easier to build and handle, but at the trade-off cost of 1) the need for an active system, 2) increased maintenance and running costs and 3) the requirement for a temperature control mechanism that would protect the panel body by dumping hot air trapped inside if stagnation were to occur.

Abstract:
In this thesis I outline the contribution Community-based theatre has made to New Zealand theatre. This involves a defining of theatre production as a material practice. Community-based theatre was a tendency from the 1930s, a promise of the left theatre movement and, I argue, was being searched for as a form of practice by the avant-garde, experimental practitioners of the 1970s. At the same time, early Māori theatre began as a Community-based practice before moving into the mainstream. With the arrival of neo-liberalism to Aotearoa in 1984, community groups and Community-based theatre could become official providers within the political system. This led to a flowering of practices, which I describe, together with the tensions that arise from being a part of that system. However, neo-liberalism introduced managerial practices into state contracting and patronage policy, which effectively denied this flowering the sustenance deserved. At the same time, these policies commodified mainstream theatre production. In conclusion, I argue that in the current situation of global crisis, Community-based theatre practice has a continuing role to play in giving voice to the multitude and by being a practice of the Common.

Abstract:
碩士<br>亞洲大學<br>會計與資訊學系<br>105<br>There is a severe deficiency in the domestic energy production in Taiwan. More than 98% of its energy sources are imported from abroad. Emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil energy combustion exacerbate the phenomenon of global warming. In order to prevent the climatic anomalies caused by greenhouse gases, countries around the world are dedicated to the development of renewable energy, and solar energy production has also become the focus of recent concerns. Taiwan is located in the subtropics. Abundant sunshine makes it suitable for the development of the solar energy industry. More widely used by families is the solar water heater, which utilizes a heat collector to heat water and store it in a storage tank for subsequent use. According to the National Cheng Kung University Energy Research Center, there is a total of 42 solar water heating system manufacturing suppliers. In the highly competitive market, companies need a profitable business model to maintain sustainable growth in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development. Hence, this study will take the case example of A Company to explore how solar water heater suppliers use the business model structure to obtain profits and improve benefits for themselves. In this study, the subject, A Company, adopts a one-stop sales practice. All of the company’s products are sold by the dealers, but the product repair service is provided to consumers directly by the company as an after-sales maintenance and repair service. The company’s products are patented; the research and development of these products are done by its patent team. Thus, there are fewer common modules that can replace its products. This study expects to serve as a reference for the business planning of the solar water heater industry.

Abstract:
This chapter analyses the earliest representations of religion in India in America by focusing on three writers: Cotton Mather, Hannah Adams, and Joseph Priestley. Cotton Mather saw India and America as lands of heathens on the edges of Christian Europe. Hannah Adams, however, began to sketch out a system of Hindoo religion in her comparative accounts of religion around the world. Priestly compared Hindoo religion with biblical religion in order to prove the superiority of Christianity. The chapter argues that these three writers all engaged a larger European Enlightenment debate about the nature of religions and a desire to classify and compare religions.

Abstract:
Companies and institutions in the light of globalization and competitiveness are seeking to improve their services, particularly electronic access to excellence. With the tremendous growth in the global digital transactions, the entry of electronic commerce strongly in global business dealings under acceleration, heated competition in the provision of electronic services, the companies are keen on achieving the principle of comprehensive quality and special electronic sites and services on the Internet. Thus, those sites become electronic firms, so it must give good impression about the company from the outset. The significance of the study is that it addresses one of the vital issues of our time, which is the current enormous revolution in information technology and communications, it provides a framework to the quality of sites and electronic services are comprehensive, objective and flexible to reach the ideal site. The proposed framework can be used to compare the quality of E-Commerce systems, or to improve the image and performance of a particular E-Commerce systems or to provide reference guide for designers of the sites where their determination to new sites. This chapter examined and analyzed previous research studies that interrelated with the quality of sites and electronic services, and then developed an inclusive theoretical framework. This framework consisted of new indicators that are clear, measurable, and flexible to the possibility of its application on all sites and services, regardless of the nature of the company or institution. Consequently, the proposed framework can be applied easily to evaluate the quality of any system.

The impact of the café-concert on the activity of residential opera companies was significant in French towns with significant working-class populations. Among stage-music genres, operetta was also a threat because it was staged by secondary theaters (and by café-concerts in breach of their licenses) and because large numbers of bourgeois patrons preferred it to either Grand Opera or opéra-comique. These forms of competition for licensed managers for opera and spoken theater characterize the 1850s onward, resulting in heated exchanges with all layers of local and national government and debates about how to preserve operatic decorum and status in the face of operetta’s popularity. A notable exception is 1870s Strasbourg, where French operetta acts as a vehicle of resistance. The role of touring companies (often from Paris) as a centralist threat to the resident company from the 1880s, especially, is contrasted with their enrichment of smaller towns; the increase in guest artists (often Parisian too) is discussed as a factor in the longer-term shrinking of permanent opera company personnel. A coda examines the often brutal impact of broadcast technology on opera management and audiences in the 1920s and 1930s.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 is a retelling of nearly two hundred years of pre-Victorian Indian colonial education, presented to aid interpretations of American missionary action in the Victorian period. The chapter shows how, despite their “universal” Christian intent, mission schools were closely allied with colonial authority and deeply racialized in their functioning. Extensive archival data (1708–1849) is used to describe the typical composition of the student body, syllabi, classroom techniques, and examination methods in mission-run schools. Missionaries used the very “heathen” curricular material and pedagogical practices they denounced. And they deliberated over the advantages of establishing schools that would further the interests of the East India Company. In the other direction, British parliamentary papers show official colonial thinking on how Western education could serve the colonial cause, and on whether a part of the teaching endeavor could be delegated to Christian missionaries. The chapter summarizes the decline of indigenous education under colonial rule as reported by Company officials just as evangelicals, chiefly, educated and ambitious middle-class people in Britain and America, began to express interest in Indian education. Between 1833 and 1854, mission schools were widely established, filling the void in indigenous education. The chapter considers the problematic of the language of education, recounting the Anglicist/Orientalist debate. It then discusses the “Woods Despatch” of 1854, the new education law, which called for a secular curriculum and for inspections to be instituted in private schools seeking government grants-in-aid. The chapter ends with a discussion of American missionary thought and practice of exploring new ways of attracting student audiences to the evangelical cause.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the valency of the Middle Ages in the recent French political imaginary, tracing how the nationalist medievalisms of recent decades can be read as a response to the perceived threats and uncertainties of globalization. The chapter explores the heated debates sparked by neoreactionary commentator Éric Zemmour’s use of the Middle Ages to account for France’s apparent loss of identity in the era of multiculturalism and the globalized economy. It also analyses how these debates play out in three recent novels that offer medievalist explorations of contemporary French identity: Jérôme Ferrari’s Sermon on the Fall of Rome (2012), Michel Houellebecq’s notorious 2015 novel Submission, and Mathias Enard’s 2015 novel Compass. By examining these texts together, the chapter offers an account of how France in the age of globalization has used the Middle Ages to understand its own long, contradictory love affair with ideas of nation, empire, and world.

Full text
Abstract:
The high thermal resistance of the airside of the compact heat exchanger results in a low heat transfer rate. Vortex generator (VG) is one of the effective passive methods to increase convection heat transfer by generating longitudinal vortex (LV), which results in an increase in fluid mixing. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the convection heat transfer characteristics and the pressure drop of airflow in a rectangular channel in the presence of a concave rectangular winglet VG on a heated plate. Numerical calculations were performed on rectangular winglet pairs vortex generators (RWP VGs) and concave rectangular winglet pairs vortex generators (CRWP VGs) with a 45° angle of attack and one, two, and three pairs of VGs with and without holes. The simulation results show that the decrease in the value of convection heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop on CRWP with three perforated VG configuration is 4.63% and 3.28%, respectively, of the three pairs of CRWP VG without holes at an airflow velocity of 2 m/s.

Abstract:
A Steam Injector (SI) is a simple, compact and passive pump and also acts as a high-performance direct-contact compact heater. This provides SI with capability to serve also as a direct-contact feedwater heater that heats up feedwater by using extracted steam from the turbine. We are developing technology for “Innovative Simplified Nuclear Power Plants” in order to further improve the economy and safety of nuclear power plants. Our technology development aims to significantly simplify equipment and reduce physical quantities by applying “High-Efficiency SI”, which are applicable to a wide range of operation regimes beyond the performance and applicable range of existing SIs and enables unprecedented multistage and parallel operation, to the low-pressure feedwater heaters and Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) of nuclear power plants, as well as achieve high inherent safety to prevent severe accidents by keeping the core covered with water (a Severe Accident-Free Concept). The innovative-simplified nuclear power plant consists of a simplified feedwater heating system, a passive core injection system and a passive containment cooling system. This report describes the results of the endurance and performance tests of low-pressure SIs for feedwater heaters with Jet-deaerator and core injection system. A part of this report are fruits of research which is carried out by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Toshiba, and 7 Universities in Japan, funded from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan as the national public research-funded program.

Abstract:
A compact and fast temperature-response heat pump water heater was designed using multiple tanks and a sequential control device. The supply tank was heated as a priority by a freon-line switching device to increase the temperature recovery speed. A dual-tank prototype with 100-liter capacity was built and tested. The experimental results show that the time for temperature recovery of the supply tank from 42°C to 54°C reaches 10–20 minutes and COP reaches 2.0–3.0 during various seasons. The prototype tests show that an energy saving around 50%–70% as compared to the electrical water heater can be obtained. The hot water discharge efficiency of the heat pump is 0.912.

Abstract:
This paper presents a case history of problems experienced with a replacement HP feedwater heater that was manufactured with Type 439 stainless steel tubing. The subject heater was installed after numerous problems during manufacturing and was commissioned for service in February 2007. The first failures were experienced after only 2 years of operation. Reports indicate that after the discovery of the first leaks, maintenance groups servicing the heater were never able to get the heater completely leak-tight. Ultimately, the frequency and magnitude of subsequent leak incidents that followed caused the power generating company to fully bypass the heater in September 2009. The paper offers a full chronology of events that ultimately led to the demise of subject heater. The primary objective of the paper is to share the lessons learned during the root cause analysis of the problem, including the inherent limitations related to subject tube material. Specific steps identified herein were taken by the power generating company to ensure that the technical specification for the next replacement heater would preclude any similar problems from occurring.

Full text
Abstract:
Using a frame-work for exploring a design space in Computational Weld Mechanics (CWM), a recent direct-search algorithm from Kolda, Lewis and Torczon is modified to use a least-square approximation to improve the method of following a path to the minimum in the algorithm. To compare the original and modified algorithms, a CWM optimization problem on a 152 × 1220 × 12.5 mm bar of Aluminum 5052-H32 is solved to minimize the weld distortion mitigated by a side heating technique. The CWM optimization problem is to find the best point in the space of side heater design parameters: power, heated area, longitudinal and transverse distance from the weld such that the final distortion is as low as possible (minimized). This CWM optimization problem is constrained to keep the stress level generated by the side heaters, in the elastic region to avoid adding an additional permanent plastic strain to the bar. The number of iterations, size of DOE matrix required and CPU time to find the minimum for the two algorithms are compared.

Full text
Abstract:
Compact electrical heating and heat dissipating units are designed for several industrial applications where durability and stability of the unit under dynamic conditions have high priority. This paper initially investigates numerically the thermal characteristics of a custom build compact heater plate which can provide a geometrically optimized electrical resistance in application to heating or eliminating unwanted currents. The electrical resistance varies with the geometry and the locations of the cutouts (holes) in the plate. This analysis will significantly contribute to overall optimization of heating units that utilize these plates. The flow and thermal regimes between two adjacent ribbed plates with cutout holes were evaluated numerically by a finite difference code. This results in estimated local heat transfer coefficients which are used in the next phase of study. The second phase relates the heat transport to the temperature distribution on the plate by using a 3D finite element model. In the F.E. model, heat is generated due to non-uniform current through properly divided plate segments. Using this model the electrical resistance was evaluated as a function of hole geometry. Finally the geometry and location of ribs and holes were determined using a simple optimization technique in order to render the uniformity of surface temperature as desired for prevention of warping or excessive stresses.

Abstract:
A high-pressure (HP) steam super heater located in the primary reformer of Ammonia Plant of Saudi Arabian Fertilizer Company (SAFCO) has ruptured twice in two different tubes, in 2009 and again in 2014. On both occasions, the repair was performed by removing and plugging the failed tube. In January 2015, the new plug that was installed in 2014 failed and led to an emergency shutdown. The older plug was found to be in good condition. An investigation was initiated to determine the reason for failure of one plug within nine months of operation while another was still in good condition after 6 years of operation. The failed plug was subjected to a metallurgical failure analysis where visual and stereoscopic inspection, scanning electron microscopy, metallographic examination, and chemical analysis were performed. The two plugs had different geometric designs, and thermal and static structural finite element analyses were performed to compare the 2009 and 2014 designs. Based on the outcome of the investigation, the cause of failure and the reason for the discrepancy in lifetimes of the two plugs was determined. This paper will present the conclusions of the metallurgical failure analysis and design review which was performed, and the improved repair design that was developed as a result of the investigation.

Abstract:
Westinghouse Electric Company and Tranter Inc. are collaborating to develop the modular, low-pressure horizontal shell and plate feedwater heater (SPFWH™) heat exchanger product. This design utilizes easily removable modules of welded heat transfer plates within a pressure vessel instead of traditional tubes as the pressure boundary and heat transfer interface between the steam and feedwater. Design advantages include improved long-term performance, inspection and maintenance access. Each SPFWH™ heat exchanger will be designed to meet all plant-specific requirements and is ASME Section VIII compliant. A prototype SPFWH™ heat exchanger design (herein called the prototype or test unit) was fabricated and tested to validate the functionality of the design features and benchmark the correlations used to predict the performance. The test was performed in the Tranter Inc. laboratory facility using full temperature and pressure steam conditions over a broad operating range typical of low pressure feedwater heaters. Heat transfer coefficient characteristics have been evaluated and the prototype test data shows good agreement with established empirical correlations and other industry research. These results indicate that the SPFWH™ heat exchanger design is a viable alternative to a shell-and-tube type heat exchanger due to the performance, compactness, modularity, and robustness of the new design.

Abstract:
This paper presents the work we carried out to investigate how to optimize the processes of development of complex products by incorporating finite elements analysis (FEA) and simulation as a design concepts analysis and optimization technique. As a case-study, the processes of development of thick film heater (TFH) subassemblies in a selected TFHs supplying company were explored. The principal challenges we dealt with were twofold, namely: (1) how to optimize the processes of development of TFH subassemblies through FEA and simulation, and (2) how to sync and optimize the TFHs supplying company’s and the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM’s) development processes. ANalysis SYStem (ANSYS) was used as the FEA and simulation application in this case-study. An empirical study on how some previously executed practical TFHs development processes unfolded was carried out. Practical TFHs design and optimization tasks were analyzed, and a suitable workflow scheme was subsequently created, and its feasibility investigated. The derived workflow scheme is generic in the sense that it accommodates a wide range of FEA and simulation applications, and its applicability is not confined to the processes of development of TFH subassemblies only. The significance of the reported work also lies in the realization of a systematic approach for selecting FEA and simulation application whilst taking into consideration technical, business, and social factors. The overall benefits for a company resorting to using the derived workflow scheme to optimize its product development process include competitive advantage over its competitors, high-quality products at a lower development cost, and more flexibility for its customers.

Abstract:
Solar water heaters (SWHs) are a well-established renewable energy technology that have been widely adopted around the world. In this study we have significantly improved the Evacuated Tube solar Collectors (ETCs) by utilizing the “dry-drawable” Carbon Nanotube (CNT) sheet coatings to increase the solar energy absorption and Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to increase the heat accumulation for application in solar water heaters. The proposed solar collector utilizes a phase change material namely Octadecane paraffin, with melting temperatures of 28°C which is categorized as non-toxic with long-term chemical stability PCM. As PCMs particularly in powder form may not be effective by itself due to the poor heat transfer rate, low thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity, by combining CNT layers with the high thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity compare to phase change materials, we are able to overcome the shortcomings of PCMs and design an innovative and efficient solar water heater. With the current technology, we can provide a near ideal black body surface, absorbing a maximum of 98%, between 600–1100 nm, of solar light striking the surface, and providing additional spectral absorption which improves the performance of the solar heater. Applying CNT sheets in conjunction with PCM enables heat storage directly on the collector for a more constant output, even on a cloudy day and prolonged output of heat at night.

Review question / Objective: To compare the efficacy of high flow nasal oxygen with conventional oxygen therapy to prevent hypoxemia in gastrointestinal endoscopy with conscious sedation. Condition being studied: High flow nasal oxygen, a novel technique, may be an alternative to conventional oxygen therapy. High flow nasal oxygen can deliver heated and humidified oxygen via special nasal cannula with high flow (up to 70 L/min). It has been applied to improve oxygenation in clinical entities, favored by increasing evidence supporting its efficacy. Recently, the use of high flow nasal oxygen has spreaded to gastrointestinal endoscopy. However, the efficacy of high flow nasal oxygen in gastrointestinal endoscopy has not yet been well evaluated due to small sample size of the individual study and conflicting results.

We selected two sub-areas in Galicia representing different situations in dominant land uses and the wild ponies’ system. Xistral, in the north, is a protected Natura 2000 site covered by wet heaths and bogs, ponies are owned by commoners that are mainly cattle farmers. Groba, in the south, is a drier area with dominance of forestry use and high frequency of wildfires, where ponies are owned by non-professional farmers. We performed twenty personal semi-structured interviews with pony owners, land owners and related experts from different sectors (afforestation, tourism, conservation NGOs), and performed two focus groups. We discussed topics such as their relation with ponies, the challenges they face, their demands and feelings on the policies, including CAP subsidies or compensations for wolf attacks, and their expectations for the future. In the field, we selected representative stands of each land use model in each sub-area and performed a systematic record of plant species, measures of plant biomass, and collected soil samples. Measures were used as proxies of biodiversity changes, carbon storage and wildfire risk, to compare between the selected models.
