Sizing of a Packed Bed Storage for Solar Air Heating Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Packed bed units generally, represent the most suitable storage units for air heating solar systems. In these systems the storage unit receives the heat from the collector during the collection period and discharges the heat to the building at the retrieval process. A method for sizing of packedbed storage in an air heating system is represented. The design is based on the K-S curves, which hav...

Packed Rules for Automatic Transfer-rule Induction

We present a method of encoding transfer rules in a highly efficient packed structure using contextualized constraints (Maxwell and Kaplan, 1991), an existing method of encoding adopted from LFG parsing (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982; Bresnan, 2001; Dalrymple, 2001). The packed representation allows us to encode O(2) transfer rules in a single packed representation only requiring O(n) storage space....

Frequency Selectable Induction Heating Targets

This paper examines a scheme for developing frequency selectable induction heating targets for stimulating temperature sensitive polymer actuators. “Frequency selectable” implies that each target has a frequency at which it heats preferentially compared to other remaining targets. Single-turn conductors whose critical dimensions are small compared to their associated skin depth (over the freque...

Laser Pulse Heating of Spherical Metal Particles

We consider the general problem of laser pulse heating of spherical metal particles with the sizes ranging from nanometers to millimeters. We employ the exact Mie solution of the diffraction problem and solve the heat-transfer equation to determine the maximum temperature rise at the particle surface as a function of optical and thermometric parameters of the problem. Primary attention is paid ...
