Estimating sap flux densities in date palm trees using the heat dissipation method and weighing lysimeters.
In a world of diminishing water reservoirs and a rising demand for food, the practice and development of water stress indicators and sensors are in rapid progress. The heat dissipation method, originally established by Granier, is herein applied and modified to enable sap flow measurements in date palm trees in the southern Arava desert of Israel. A long and tough sensor was constructed to with...
متن کاملEstimating the unknown heat flux on the wall of a heat exchanger internal tube using inverse method
In the design of heat exchangers, it is necessary to determine the heat transfer rate between hot and cold fluids in order to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat exchanger efficiency. Heat transfer rate can be determined by inverse methods. In this study, the unknown space-time dependent heat flux imposed on the wall of a heat exchanger internal tube is estimated by app...
متن کاملEstimating sensible and latent heat flux densities from grapevine canopies using surface renewal
Fine-wire thermocouples were used to measure high-frequency temperature above and within canopies and structure functions were employed to determine temperature ramp characteristics, which were used in a fundamental conservation of energy equation to estimate sensible heat flux density. Earlier experiments over dense, tall, and short canopies demonstrated that the surface renewal method works, ...
متن کاملInfluence of environmental factors on the sap flux density of mango trees under rain-fed cropping systems in West Africa
Xylem sap flux density (Fd) was measured, on a 43-year-old (mature) and three 4-year-old (young) mango (Mangifera indica L.) trees, using Granier-type probes. The relative influences of environmental variables were examined under well-watered condition. Circumferential variation in Fd was also investigated by placing sensors on the north, south-west and south-east sides of the mature tree. Sap ...
متن کاملSurface renewal method for estimating sensible heat flux
For short canopies, latent energy flux may be estimated using a shortened surface energy balance from measurements of sensible and soil heat flux and the net irradiance at the surface. The surface renewal (SR) method for estimating sensible heat, latent energy, and other scalar fluxes has the advantage over other micrometeorological methods since the method requires only measurement of the scal...
