Abstract:
We briefly considered in Chapter 6 a geologically important class of flows—buoyancy driven flows—in which thermal effects hold an essential part in creating the forces that induce flow. We also should recall that fluid properties such as viscosity can vary with temperature. As fluids are heat-conducting media, taking into account the thermal energy conditions and heat flow within a fluid therefore is often an essential part of describing a flow field. Thermal energy, however, is not transported merely by conduction; in a moving fluid, thermal energy also is advected from position to position. In addition, recall that the thermal energy of a fluid, according to the first law of thermodynamics, is inextricably coupled with energy in the form of work performed between a fluid element and its surroundings. It is therefore important to consider the mechanical energy of a fluid when describing its thermal conditions. To this end, the developments below concern conservation of energy in both thermal and mechanical forms. Analogous to our treatment of conservation of mass, we will derive equations that describe a condition—conservation of energy—which must be satisfied at each coordinate position in a fluid. An important outcome of our development of expressions for conservation of energy is a set of dynamical equations for the special case of an ideal fluid. In component form, these are referred to as Euler’s equations, and arise from conservation of purely mechanical energy, neglecting thermal forms. (We will derive Euler’s equations again in Chapter 10 using an explicit treatment of the forces involved in fluid motion.) Conservation of energy also applies to flow in porous media; the relevant expressions are similar to those for purely fluid flow, but with several important differences that arise from the two-phase character (solid and fluid) of flow in porous media. In relation to this topic, we also will develop the idea of Hubbert’s potential, and the relation of this potential to piezometric head. This is a cornerstone of the theory of flow in porous media. Our objective is to illustrate how Hubbert’s potential, and head, are obtained from applying the idea of conservation of mechanical energy to a fluid.

In many ways, energy production and its conversion from one form to another is the heart of mechanical engineering. The history of energy is vast, beginning with efforts to make the energy produced by human muscle more effective through the use of lubricants or the application of the so-called six simple machines in pre-history. By the end of Classical antiquity, inventors and engineers had harnessed the power of wind to move ships and water to grind flour. In the eighteenth century the first practical heat engines opened the era of fossil fuels, utilizing the expansive power of steam to convert thermal energy to mechanical energy.

A new application domain extension for CityGML has been developed in order to integrate energy-related figures of buildings, thermal volumes, and facades with their geometric descriptions. These energy-related figures can be parameters or results of energy simulations. The applicability of the new application domain extension has been demonstrated for heating energy demand calculation.

Abstract:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation-based development of heat resistance nanocomposite materials for nanoheat transfer devices (like nanoheat exchanger) and applications have been studied. In this study, MD software (Materials Studio) has been used to know the heat transport behaviors of the graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (Gr/TPU) nanocomposite. The effect of graphene weight percentage (wt%) on thermal properties (e.g., glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and interface thermal conductance) of Gr/TPU nanocomposites has been studied. Condensed-phase optimized molecular potentials for atomistic simulation studies (COMPASS) force field which is incorporated in both amorphous and forcite plus atomistic simulation modules within the software are used for this present study. Layer models have been developed to characterize thermal properties of the Gr/TPU nanocomposites. It is seen from the simulation results that glass transition temperature (Tg) of the Gr/TPU nanocomposites is higher than that of pure TPU. MD simulation results indicate that addition of graphene into TPU matrix enhances thermal conductivity. The present study provides effective guidance and understanding of the thermal mechanism of graphene/TPU nanocomposites for improving their thermal properties. Finally, the revealed enhanced thermal properties of nanocomposites, the interfacial interaction energy, and the free volume of polymer nanocomposites are examined and discussed.

Abstract:
Energy storage is a vital component in the chain of production-distribution-consumption of energy, even more so if the energy comes from a source that is intermittent and/or is not controllable as is the case with for example solar energy and wind energy. For many people, the term energy storage is the storage of electricity in batteries, as it is the most commonly found way of storing energy. In addition to classic batteries, there are other energy storage alternatives from a primary source for later use. The most valuable forms of energy storage are the ones that can both take over and release the energy on demand, in the form of electricity, such that, in the end, the electrical energy is transformed into thermal or mechanical energy. In stationary applications, energy can be stored in various forms such as batteries, ultracapacitors, or tanks of hydrogen, water, and different types of materials. This chapter will evaluate each form of energy storage.

Abstract:
There are two distinct categories of remotely sensed data: satellite data and aerial data or photographs. Unlike aerial photographs, satellite data have been routinely available for most of the earth’s land areas for more than two decades and therefore are preferred for reliably monitoring global vegetation conditions. Satellite data are the result of reflectance, emission, and/or back scattering of electromagnetic energy from earth objects (e.g., vegetation, soil, and water). The electromagnetic spectrum is very broad, and only a limited range of wavelengths is suitable for earth resource monitoring and applications. The gaseous composition (O2, O3, CO2, H2O, etc.) of the atmosphere, along with particulates and aerosols, cause significant absorption and scattering of electromagnetic energy over some regions of the spectrum. This restricts remote sensing of the earth’s surface to certain “atmospheric windows,” or regions in which electromagnetic energy can pass through the atmosphere with minimal interference. Some such windows include visible, infrared, shortwave, thermal, and microwave ranges of the spectrum. The shortwave-infrared (SWIR) wavelengths are sensitive to moisture content of vegetation, whereas the thermal-infrared region is useful for monitoring and detecting plant canopy stress and for modeling latent and sensible heat fluxes. Thermal remote sensing imagery is acquired both during the day and night, and it measures the emitted energy from the surface, which is related to surface temperatures and the emissivity of surface materials. This chapter focuses on the contribution of visible and infrared wavelengths to global drought monitoring, and chapter 6 discusses visible, infrared, and thermal wave contributions. Under microwave windows, the satellite data can be divided into two categories: active microwave and passive microwave. Chapters 7 and 8 describe applications of passive and active microwave remote sensing to drought monitoring, respectively. Early use of satellite data was pioneered by the Landsat series originally known as the Earth Resource Technology Satellite (ERTS; http://landsat7. usgs.gov/index.php). Landsat was the first satellite specifically designed for broad-scale observation of the earth’s land surface.

Abstract:
One of the non-traditional types of renewable energy is vortex energy, which arises when swirling flows of continuous media (e.g., liquid and gas) are formed and which can be converted into thermal energy, work, and also used to raise the temperature in some systems or to create a pressure gradient. Vortex structures are systematically found in many physical processes. In recent years, new aspects of studying the vortex have been considered. These aspects are associated with physical phenomena, which indicate the occurrence of nonlinear effects in liquid media. Vortex flows of continuous media are one of the most important and complex phenomena in the mechanics of liquids and gases. They are characterized by specific manifestations that are fundamentally different from the axial properties of the motion of the medium, such as the appearance of secondary flows.

Abstract:
Ceramic monoliths are applied in many insulating and high resistive engineering applications, but the energy application of ceramics monoliths is still vacant due to less conductivity of monolithic ceramics (for example, in silica- and alumina-based hybrids). This book chapter is a significant contribution in the graphene industry as it explains some novel and modified fabrication techniques for ceramics-graphene hybrids. The improved physical properties may be used to set ceramics-graphene hybrids as a standard for electrical, mechanical, thermal, and energy applications. Further, silica-rGO hybrids may be used as dielectric materials for high-temperature applications due to improved dielectric properties. The fabricated nano-assembly is important for a technological point of view, which may be further applied as electrolytes, catalysts, and conductive, electrochemically active, and dielectric materials for the high-temperature applications. In the end, this chapter discussed porous carbon as a massive source of electrochemical energy for supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. Carbon materials which are future of energy storage devices because of their ability to store energy in great capacity, so sustainability through smart materials got a huge potential, so hereby keeping in view all the technological aspects, this chapters sums up important contribution of graphene and porous carbon for applied applications.

This type of chemistry is important, for example, in the interior of the giant planets where pressures and temperatures exceed 1000 bar and 1000 K, respectively. The second type is disequilibrium chemistry, driven by an external energy source, of which solar radiation is the most important in the solar system. Chemical reactions between stable molecules are very slow at pressures less than 1 bar in planetary atmospheres. Sunlight is the ultimate source of greater chemical activity in the middle and upper atmospheres of planets. As shown in chapter 2, the absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation by atmospheric gases leads to the production of radical species (e.g., atoms, ions, excited molecules) that are extremely reactive. The bulk of atmospheric chemistry involves the reaction between the radicals themselves and between the radicals and stable molecules. In this chapter we briefly survey the chemical kinetics that are important for understanding the chemistry of planetary atmospheres.

Abstract:
A significant amount of work has been conducted on thermally-assisted machining with a great deal being focused on laser-assisted machining. The body of work has shown that preheating of the workpiece (usually localized heating) makes it possible to machine certain structural ceramics with a conventional cutting tool, improves the machinability of superalloys, and improves the micro-end milling of metals. A variety of metrics have been used to ascertain the impact of thermal assistance on the machining of these materials including: specific cutting energy, tool wear rate, surface roughness, re

Abstract:
In a concentrated solar power (CSP), high operating temperature (over 500 °C) is the key for enhancing the efficiency of the system. The operating temperature of the system mainly relies on thermal energy storage (TES) material. Existing TES materials such as mineral oil or paraffin wax cannot be applicable at high temperatures, since these materials are not thermally stable over 400 °C. However, very few materials are suitable and reliable for the high temperatures. Using molten salts (e.g., alkali nitrate, alkali carbonate, alkali chloride, etc.) as thermal energy storage material is an alte

Abstract:
There is a high degree of freedom and flexibility in the way to integrate renewable process heat in industrial processes. Nearly in every industrial or commercial application various heat sinks can be found, which are suitable to be supplied by renewable heat, e.g. from solar thermal, heat pumps, biomass or others. But in contrast to conventional fossil fuel powered heating systems, most renewable heating technologies are more sensitive to the requirements defined by the specific demand of the industrial company. Fossil fuel-based systems benefit from their indifference to process temperatures

Abstract:
Earth’s high latitudes are projected to experience warmer and wetter summers in the future but ramifications for soil thermal processes and permafrost thaw are poorly understood. Here we present 2750 end of summer thaw depths representing a range of vegetation characteristics in Interior Alaska measured over a 5-year period. This included the top and third wettest summers in the 91-year record and three summers with precipitation close to mean historical values. Increased rainfall led to deeper thaw across all sites with an increase of 0.7 ± 0.1 cm of thaw per cm of additional rain. Disturbed
