Abstract:

In this thesis we study the time evolution of Rényi and entanglement entropies of thermal states in Conformal Field Theory (CFT). These quantities are usually hard to compute but Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) and Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) proposals allow us to find the same quantities using calculations in general relativity. We will introduce main concepts of holography, quantum information and conformal field theory that will be used to derive the results of this thesis. In the first part of the thesis, we explicitly compute entanglement entropy of the rotating BTZ black hole by directly apply

Abstract:

Buildings expend vast quantities of energy, which has a detrimental impact on the environment. Buildings systems are often oversized to cope with possible extreme environmental conditions. Building simulation provides an opportunity to improve building thermal design, but the available tools are typically used in combination in order to overcome their individual deficiencies. Two such tools, often used in tandem are computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and dynamic thermal modelling (DTM). DTM provides a coarse analysis, by considering external and internal thermal conditions over a building (inc

This dissertation examines the suitability of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling for the production of realistic flowfields and temperature fields within a series of vortex combustion chambers of differing geometries and operating under various conditions.

Abstract:

Thermal stripping is a major safety challenge in nuclear power generation and propulsion systems. It arises as a consequence of the heat transfer from fluid to surrounding solid components varying in time and typically occurs in regions where the mixing of hot and cold fluids results in turbulent temperature fluctuations. It can occur in a range of components in reactors and thermal-hydraulics systems and may lead to structural failure by high-cycle thermal fatigue. Cases of cooling system pipes failing by this mechanism have been reported at the French Civaux and the Japanese Tsuruga-2 &

The mechanisms governing the formation and destruction of soot in turbulent combustion are intimately coupled to thermal radiation due to the strong dependence of sooting processes and radiative loss on temperature. Detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions of the radiative and soot output from turbulent non-premixed flames are normally performed by parabolic algorithms. However, the modelling of combustion systems, such as furnaces and unwanted enclosure fires, often require a fully elliptic description of the flow field and its related physical phenomena.

Abstract:

The hotspot temperature of disc windings has a close relation with the transformer age. In oil immersed transformers, oil guides are applied generally to enhance the cooling effects for disc windings. In some cases disc windings without oil guides are used. However, the lack of oil guides is expected to result in a more complicated thermal behavior of the windings, making it more difficult to predict the location and strength of the hotspot temperature (i.e. the hottest temperature in the winding). To get an improved understanding of the thermal behavior, a CFD study has been performed. This

Attempts to identify a fundamental mechanism that increases the thermal conductivity of liquids with nanoparticle suspension (nanofluids) have not been entirely successful.

However, when the nanoparticle size becomes smaller, a large increase in thermal conductivity becomes more prominent at low volume fractions.

Abstract:

Geothermal energy piles (GEPs), buried into the soil, are typically integrated with the circulating pipe inside the piles, where the most common heat transfer fluid (HTF) is water. However, water cannot operate under a sub-zero-degree cold environment without using the antifreeze additive. Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is newly introduced as HTF to save energy by its density difference of flow and circulation, has a more extensive operation range and can operate below zero degrees Celsius as the fluid phase. In this study, GEPs are modelled using a finite element method (FEM) to present the fun

Abstract:

In light of rising global temperatures and energy needs, nuclear power is uniquely positioned to offer carbon-free and reliable electricity. In many markets, nuclear power faces strong headwinds due to competition with other fuel sources and prohibitively high capital costs. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), such as the proposed Advanced Fast Reactor (AFR) 100, have gained popularity in recent years as they promise economies of scale, reduced capital costs, and flexibility of deployment. Fast sodium reactors commonly feature an upper plenum with a large inventory of sodium. When temperatures chan

Abstract:

Heat exchangers and steam headers are at the heart of any boiler and are susceptible to a range of failures including tube leaks, ligament cracking, creep and fatigue. These common forms of header failure mechanisms can be exacerbated by local thermal stresses due to temperature and flow maldistribution at full and partial boiler load operations. The purpose of this project is to develop process models of the outlet stubbox header of a final superheater (FSH) heat exchanger in a 620MW coal-fired drum type boiler. The process models were used to assess the impact of steam flow and temperature d

Abstract:

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a device that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into the electricity by the chemical reactions at high temperatures (600-1000oC). Heat is also produced besides the electricity as a result of the electrochemical reactions. Heat produced in the electrochemical reactions causes the thermal stresses, which is one of the most important problems of the SOFC systems. Another important problem of SOFCs is the low fuel utilization ratio. In this study, the effect of the flow arrangement on the temperature distribution, which causes the thermal stresses, and the me

Abstract:

In order to make gas chromatography (GC) more widely accessible, considerable effort has been made in developing miniaturized GC systems. Thermal gradient gas chromatograpy (TGGC), one of the heating methods used in GC, has recieved attention over the years due to it's ability to enhance analyte focusing. The present work seeks to develop high performance miniaturized GC systems by combining miniaturized GC technology with thermal gradient control methods, creating miniaturized thermal gradient gas chromatography (µTGGC) systems. To aid in this development a thermal control system was develope

Abstract:

The ability to control the trajectory and understanding the atmospheric effects on the flight performance of a scientific high altitude balloon has long been an aspiring ambition. This thesis work analyses the thermal and optical environments at float using the simulation software, ANSYS FLUENT. The objectives for this thesis were to evaluate how the solar angle, sunshine factor and the ground emissivity altered the altitude for the balloon during floating condition in Steady-state simulations. A transient simulation was conducted to evaluate the diurnal cycle effects on the altitude of the ba
