Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Global radiation is an important input for evaporation calculations; however, limited measurements exist. Current models for estimating global radiation are deterministic and do not give an estimate of the errors associated with the predicted radiation amounts. In this thesis, five stochastic models are developed to estimate the mean amount and associated uncertainty of global, direct and diffuse radiation from sunshine duration data. The modelled global radiation is used to estimate evaporation amounts using a variety of models, including the Penman-Monteith model, radiation-based models, and temperature-based models. Evaporation estimates are compared to determine the influence of uncertainty in the global radiation estimate on evaporation amounts. The second part of this thesis deals with the relationship between temperature and evaporation, with implications for anthropogenic climate change studies. The influence of temperature on evaporation amounts is analysed using a combination of empirical evaporation models and a more physically-based planetary boundary layer model. The results indicate that global radiation can be accurately estimated using all of the developed radiation models (average error = 9%), when compared with measured data. The variance of the errors is greater for cloudy days compared with clear days. The diffuse radiation component is best modelled using a quadratic model (average error = 22%). The direct radiation component is best modelled using a linear model (average error = 23%). Two types of regional models are also developed to calculate radiation amounts at any location. These models have only a small loss of accuracy compared to the locally calibrated models. While the variance of the errors for the locally calibrated models is shown to be location dependent, these regional models allow for the model parameters and the error variance to be estimated at any location, as there is a statistically significant relationship between the model and error parameters and latitude. The regional models are also comparable in accuracy to satellite estimates of global radiation. It is also found that the uncertainty in global radiation leads to considerable uncertainty in evaporation rates, up to ±31% for the radiation-based models. The locations with greater uncertainty in the radiation estimate have an associated greater uncertainty in the evaporation estimate. Temperature increases are shown to have minor influences on evaporation rates. Soil moisture is the most dominant influence. Consequently, temperature-based models are shown to lead to unreasonable estimates of evaporation when temperatures are increased.

MA University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011

The amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is modulated by fluctuations in atmospheric gases including water vapor, the density of aerosols and cloud optical depth. Regional trends in solar radiation have been observed in various places around the Earth, but little research has been done on solar radiation trends in Hawaiʻi. To address this, data obtained from upper elevation climate stations within the HaleNet climate network on the Island of Maui, Hawaiʻi were evaluated for trends. First, solar radiation was modeled using the SPECTRAL2 clear day radiation model and tested against observations. Solar radiation was modeled using a series of model parameterization scenarios at different temporal resolutions, to determine the scenario that most accurately represented clear sky radiation at the points of observations. Second, the modeled solar radiation was compared with observations to identify and correct instrument response changes over time. Thirdly, a long-term record of solar radiation was evaluated for trends at three upper elevation stations. Solar radiation was modeled at three HaleNet locations along a 1630-m elevation gradient on the slopes of Haleakalā. The model was parameterized using daily, monthly, and annual mean input scenarios. The model tended to overestimate clear sky solar radiation at all stations under three input scenarios for a 1-year test period, but nevertheless produced satisfactory results with regression slopes all within 0.03 of unity and RMSE values in the range of 18.9—38.0 W m-2. The model performed best at these stations when input parameters were held constant at their annual mean values. Clear day solar radiation was modeled using a fixed parameterization scenario that was determined to give the best simulation of clear sky radiation at the HaleNet stations. A clear day ratio (CDR) of the observed to modeled clear day radiation was established for the ~21 year record at each station. Historical calibration records were used to assess time periods where sensors were either recalibrated or replaced. Apparent shifts in sensor response were assessed using a linear regression analysis including the affects of autocorrelation. Using the mean CDR for a given time period or a linear regression equation (when a significant trend in CDR was identified), solar radiation was adjusted to give the CDR during a time when instrument calibration was deemed to be the most reliable. A long-term record of solar radiation at three HaleNet stations was analyzed for trends. Annual anomalies were calculated as departures from the respective long-term mean and a clear day index was established as the ratio of monthly averaged solar radiation to calculated monthly extraterrestrial radiation at the top of the atmosphere. Trends were assessed for all available monthly data, and two 6-month seasonal periods, which roughly correspond to the wet and dry seasons in Hawaiʻi. Positive trends in annual anomalies were found at all three experimental…

▼ Solar flare soft x-ray emission from 0.5 Å to 8.5 Å was observed during 1967-68 by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Bragg crystal (LiF and EDDT) spectrometers aboard the OS0-4 satellite and also by NRL broad band ionization detectors aboard the OG0-4 satellite. In this work, instrumental parameters for the LiF crystal spectrometer based on experimental values have been determined and used in the data analysis. The source continuum spectra between 1 Å and 3.8 Å have been obtained for selected flares from OS0-4 spectrometer scans. As these spectra are each affected by time variations over 14 minutes, they are compared with the thermal continuum (free-free and free-bound) spectra predicted in the following manner. The instantaneous electron kinetic temperature and emission measure (equal to the product of the square of the electron number density and the total volume) of the flare plasma are determined from the available OG0-4 broad band data. The expected continuum flux is calculated by using these parameters. The comparison shows that there is good agreement between 2 Å and 3.8 Å. Thus it has been concluded that reliable values of the average electron temperature can be determined from the OG0-4 flare data. The earlier wavelength assigrunent and line identification list published by Meekins et al (1970, Solar Physics 13, 198) has been substantially improved in this work by separately summing a large number of OS0-4 spectrometer scans of the flaring and active sun. All identified wavelengths are found to agree with the more accurate theoretical valuesto within + 0.01 Å. Identifications of several weak lines as due to hydrogen-like and helium-like ions of chlorine and phosphorus have also been suggested. The temporal behaviour of selected ion line intensities (due to Fe, Ca, Si, S, Al, and Mg) indicates that they follow the expected temperature variations during the flare. The total continuum emission in the 0.5 to 3 Å and the 1 to 8 Å broad band segments has been determined from OG0-4 data for 21 flares. In doing this, a simple and approximate method of converting the total emission based on the gray body approximation (in which the OG0-4 data are reported) to one based on the thermal continuum spectrum has been developed. This study shows that the total energy lost in the 0.5 to 8 Å soft x-ray channel is of the order of 10²⁸ to 10³⁰ ergs depending on the Hα importance of the flare (from sub- to class 2); it is also shown that this energy is comparable with that emitted in higher wave length segments estimated by other authors.

▼ Solar radiation intensities, incident to the sea surface off the Oregon coast, are measured and compared. Simplification of some physical and biological problems can be anticipated if the average radiation received over a broad segment of ocean can be accurately indicated by the amount recorded at the land station. The area of ocean over which the study was made extends the length of the Oregon coast and 165 miles to sea. The measurements were made during the months of June, July, August, and September 1963 with an Eppley total radiation pyrheliometer. A division of the study area into Newport and three zones parallel to the coast separated the data into comparative groups. Clear sky radiation values, assumed constant with longitude, are used as bases for comparison. For each value of observed radiation, a corresponding clear sky value was calculated using standard techniques. Curves, based on a dust-free atmosphere with two cm of precipitable water, are developed to provide these calculated values. Before the recorded values from the zones are compared, their corresponding calculated spectra are adjusted to be identical. This is done by weighting the number of observations in each classification. In all instances, the zone values are adjusted to those of Newport. Comparison is made between mean intensity values, percentages of calculated clear sky values, relative and cumulative frequencies of intensities, and composites of daily traces. Two methods of analysis are employed. One classifies data by intensity level, and the other classifies it by the hour of the day during which it was recorded. Not enough observations were available in the two zones farthest from Newport to provide smooth curves. It is found, however, that there is essentially no change with longitude in observed intensity spectra and means. It is concluded that the average radiation recorded at Newport indicates with some accuracy the average radiation received over the section of ocean in question.

▼ All radiation processes described can take place in the solar corona, depending on different physical characters of the radiating electrons and the coronal plasma, such as electron energy, electron pitch angle and the magnitude of the ratio f-2p/f-2H of the medium in the region where the radiators reside. On the other hand, the observed spectral features of a solar radio emission are determined by both the mechanism responsible for the emission and the propagation conditions of electromagnetic waves in the solar corona. Thus, the observed dynamic spectra of the solar radio emissions reveal essentially the physical conditions of the solar corona during the emission periods. The emissions of narrow bandwidth type III bursts and drift pair bursts have been proposed as the consequence of plasma radiation caused by electron streams in the isotropic corona, which is understood to refer to electromagnetic radiation extracted from Cerenkov plasma waves through scattering or wave-mode coupling (Ginzburg and Zheleznyakov, 1958; Roberts, 1958; Wild et al., 1963; Zheleznyakov, 1965). However, many observed spectral characteristics of the type III bursts and its related U bursts, the drift pairs and the newly discovered hook bursts clearly indicate that it is necessary that the sunspot magnetic field be taken into account in the theories. So far the conditions of plasma radiation by electron streams in a magnetoactive plasma have not been investigated in detail and consequently, many characteristics of these emission events remain unexplained. In this thesis, we begin by formulating the theory of plasma radiation in a magnetoactive plasma (Chapter II and Chapter V). The theory is then applied to the interpretation of the polarized type III burst and U burst emission event and the drift pair and hook burst emission event in Chapter VI and Chapter VII respectively. The origins of various components of the complicated type IV emission have been interpreted as the results of synchrotron radiation by relativistic electrons trapped in the sunspot magnetic field configurations (Boischot and Denisse, 1957; Takakura and Kaip 1961; Kai, 1964; etc.). However, without taking into account the effects of the medium on the radiation process, previous theories encounter various difficulties and fail to account for the outstanding polarization characters of the type IV emission. In order to set up a satisfactory theory of type IVA emission, we study, for the x-mode and the o-mode, the power spectra from single electrons, the process of amplification of cyclotron radiation in a stream-plasma system and the escape conditions in detail in Chapter III and Chapter VIII. Cyclotron radiation of electromagnetic waves in the x-mode and the o-mode and the Cerenkov excitation of plasma waves by helical electron streams moving at the base of the solar corona is proposed as the origin of the type IVA emission. It is found that most of the important characteristics of the emission can be well accounted for by…

▼ At oil refineries and other chemical processing plants, a flare stack is used to get rid of unwanted or excessive gases and relieve the system of excess pressure. These gases can be generated during different stages of operation like startup or shutdown, maintenance and process upsets. Since flares handle large amounts of toxic and flammable materials, it makes the flaring operation hazardous. Combustion of huge amount of gases releases heat which is radiated to the atmosphere. Heat radiated from the flare makes it important for siting the flare at a proper location. The heat radiation should not exceed recommended threshold levels so that people on-site and the equipment are not affected. Thus, to have a well-designed flare, knowledge of total radiation emitted from a flare is essential. It will aid in accurately estimating the flare height and the area near the flare, which would sustain high levels of thermal radiation. A common point of contention while calculating radiation level emitted from flare is the decision of including solar radiation (SR) in the calculations. API 521 relegates this decision to the flare design company’s practices. Based on expert judgement, some literature states that for all practical purposes, solar radiation contribution can be discounted. The work performed aims at presenting a framework which quantitatively addresses aforementioned obscurity. The analysis helps flare designers to more objectively decide whether to include SR in their analyses or treat it insignificant contribution. The work studies the various factors that cause variation in SR value: location, time, and orientation of the surface. Considering all these parameters, an appropriate value of SR is chosen as the solar contribution to the thermal radiation from the flare. The effect of SR to the design of the flare is quantified by studying the change in effect distance near the flare and the height of the flare. Consequence analysis software PHAST is used to obtain these calculations. In addition, the outcome that SR inclusion will have on the risk posed by the flare due to thermal radiation on personnel is also examined. This is studied by measuring the change in lethality and heat stress caused by radiation exposure. Advisors/Committee Members: Mannan, M. Sam (advisor), Girimaji, Sharath (committee member), El-Halwagi, Mahmoud (committee member).

Машинство - Термодифузиони процеси – сушење / Mechanical Engineering - Heat mass transfer – drying

Када се суше производи, често се наилази на низ тешкоћа: прва тешкоћа долази од чињенице да сваки производ има своју кинетику сушења. Друга тешкоћа је техничка и везана је за дефинисање експеримента. Од изузетне важности је и контрола за време сушења већине производа за исхрану. У раду је дат преглед релевантне литературе у циљу упознавања са истраживањима везаним за ефикасност пријемника соларне енергије и извођења конвективног процеса сушења биолошких материјала у танком слоју, као и постојећим решењима из ове области. За карактеристична решења постројења за сушење су дати и дефинисани одговарајући биланси. У циљу разумевања експерименталног дела истраживања у раду је дат приказ концепције решења покретне, универзалне, еколошке, коморне, конвективне, индиректне, активне соларне сушаре, чије основне карактеристике су могућност праћења привидне путање кретања Сунца и праћење положаја, угла Сунца. Веома важна карактеристика решења је и потпуна енергетска независност, пошто се Сунчево зрачење користи и за процес сушења, за припрему агенса сушења у оригиналном решењу пријемника Сунчеве енергије и за директно добијање електричне енергије за кретање агенса сушења, што се постиже коришћењем пријемника за директно претварање Сунчеве енергије у електричну. Ради се о савременој технологији која има изузетан значај са аспекта одрживог развоја и енергетске ефикасности.Да би се остварио циљ и хипотеза истраживања: · проучи кинетика процеса сушења спанаћа у соларној , коморној, конвективној, покретној, индиректној, еколошкој, активној сушари, · одреди утицај параметара агенса сушења и материјала, који се суши на кинетику процеса сушења спанаћа, · одреди карактеристична крива брзине процеса сушења (ККС) и · упореде експерименталне криве сушења са математичким моделима из литературе · дефинише математички модел и одреде вредности ефективне дифузивности спанаћа. неопходна су одговарајућа експериментална истраживања...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa is among the countries with a plan to reduce GHG emissions of up to 34% by 2020 through investment in renewable energy in order to reduce its base load coal generation. High solar resource and the potential of concentrated solar power (CSP) to address the challenges facing other solar technologies have attracted CSP investment in the country. CSP uses reflector surfaces or mirrors to focus low solar energy radiation from a large field into a small area of high energy concentration. In their working conditions, CSP reflector surfaces are subjected to harsh outdoor environments which drastically degrade their performance. The main objective of the study was to develop and test reflector optical degradation measurement device and use these optical degradation measurements from the device to relate optical losses caused by soiling to weather. A reflector optical degradation assessment device termed as real-time cleanliness monitoring sensor (RCMS) was designed, developed and tested for its ability to measure soiling optical degradation. The device was then utilised to relate weather conditions with optical losses caused by soiling on CSP reflectors. Furthermore, a neural network model was developed to simultaneously relate various weather factors to the optical loss caused by soiling on CSP reflectors. Error analysis and calibration were undertaken for RCMS measurement in order to improve confidence in the data, which was further used in experimental analysis. Two experimental analyses were carried out. The results from the first experimental analysis showed only the variation of cleanliness with weather factors that directly influence the rate of soiling. Wind speed and humidity were observed to degrade cleanliness, while rain lead to reflector cleaning. In the second experimental analysis, factors that directly or indirectly influence cleanliness were statistically analysed using clustering method. The results showed that temperature and direct normal irradiation (DNI) correlate relatively well with cleanliness although they do not directly influence it. The neural network model demonstrated that a combination of weather factors could be used to estimate the optical degradation caused by soiling on CSP reflectors. High coefficient of determination was observed from the neural network model results, as compared to the correlations that considered the relationship between cleanliness and a single weather factor, done in the experimental analysis.

▼ Since the 1970s, over a thirty-year period, awareness of the limitation in fossil fuel reserves has been increased steadily and international attention has been given to an energy conservative way of life. Like many developing countries, today Iran is beset with serious energy supply difficulties. The main issues are the rapid increase in energy demand/cost, air pollution caused by over use of fossil fuels (usually used in buildings for heating purposes), the limitation of fossil fuel resources and the difficulties in the transportation and distribution of fossil fuel especially in winter around the country. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt a new strategy for sustainable energy use and to consider the application of renewable energy technologies in the design of buildings. Solar energy is one of the most significant and technically exploitable renewable energy resources available in Iran. This needs to be taken into account seriously, regarding both economical and environmental problems in that country. Since school buildings in Iran are one of the major consumes of energy for heating, cooling and lighting purposes and according to their inappropriate current design from the energy efficiency point of view, this study has been performed with the aim of developing methods of optimising the energy performance of school buildings in Iran and promoting low energy architecture in the design of these buildings in different climatic regions of Iran. For this purpose, first the Iranian climatic has been reviewed and appropriate classification was presented. Since solar radiation data have not been calculated in Iran so far, there was a need for a precise calculation of solar radiation for each and every city in order to better exploit the benefits of solar energy for the future of this country. Therefore, the method of calculation of solar radiation in different cities of Iran based on European Solar Atlas and Islamic Republic of Iran Meteorological Organisation's statistics was presented and a spreadsheet excel program was developed for the calculation of solar radiation data of 152 cities of Iran. A comparison has been made between the excel program and Meteonorm. The result showed that the excel program data were more useful in that they were more precise and much more reliable compared to Meteonorm data for Iran. Also, based on solar radiation data another excel program (based on the admittance method) was developed for the calculation of heating, cooling and lighting energy use of buildings in Iran. By using this program the effect of window design on the thermal performance of school buildings and the response of walls and roofs to solar radiation was investigated in hot climates. Substantial saving in the annual running cost of school buildings as much as 14% was achieved under appropriate window arrangement. In order to explore the problems of existing design, a case study has been performed on current schools design in Iran and the energy use of these schools was analysed.

▼ The need for inexpensive, dependable, radiation hard solar cells for use in space applications has led to attention being focused on organic semiconductor based solar cells. Such cells are lightweight, flexible and are potentially useful in conformal coverage applications. While these solar cells are less efficient (presently < 12%) than traditional silicon or III-V semiconductor based solar cells, the reduced efficiency is compensated for by their lower weight. This leads to a higher specific power and hence a lower load for launch. Furthermore, their flexibility is a particularly positive attribute since this renders them less vulnerable to vibration damage during the launch process. It must also be added that since one envisages solution processing deposition of the organic cells on very large area sheets (roll by roll technology) one can then also imagine a scenario in which a chosen panel area can be simply tailored from a large roll, thereby speeding up the process of solar panel production. Before this somewhat futuristic approach to low power solar panel production can become a reality for space applications, a full evaluation/understanding of their behavior in a radiation environment is necessary. In this work, a detailed study has been performed on the archetypal organic photovoltaic P3HT:PCBM. The interest of the applicability of organic photo-cells for use in space based solar panels is derived from the recognition that unusual' conditions exist which are not generally addressed by the organic photo-cell community. The defense presentation will cover the findings of pre-irradiation, irradiation, and post-irradiation characteristics; determination of the physical mechanisms resulting in the dominant photo-carrier loss mechanism, and a detailed investigation of the radiation effects. Transient photo-voltage (TPV) measurements were utilized to evaluate carrier relaxation times in P3HT:PCBM based photo-cells over a wide range of open circuit voltages. Satisfactory agreement is found with data obtained by low frequency impedance measurements. This data set offers valuable insight into the loss mechanism to help material scientists develop new material that has better power conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the results are promising for the development OPV technology for space based applications. We find that the experimental data is inconsistent with the theoretical behavior expected based on the generally accepted Langevin recombination model. In particular, the Langevin coefficient is three orders of magnitude smaller than the theoretical one and appears to be dependent on the carrier density. For the low light levels, the relaxation time variation is determined by the RC time constant behavior of the photodiode.'
