Ground thermal energy as a clean and sustainable energy source has received significant attention lately. Several strategies and hybrid configurations have been proposed to harvest geothermal energy for air conditioning and industrial purposes. The possibility of moist soil freezing in the vicinity of borehole tubes is known to be the source of several benefits and difficulties. The high storag...

A novel methodology that combines recent advances in computational statistics and reduced-order modeling is presented to explore the application of Bayesian statistical inference to a stochastic inverse problem in radiative heat transfer. The underlying objective of this work is to reveal the potential of using statistical approaches, mainly Bayesian computational statistics and spatial statist...

This note considers the problem of estimating unknown time-varying strength of the temporal-dependent heat source, from measurements of the temperature inside the square domain, when the prior knowledge of the source functions is not available. This problem is an inverse heat conduction problem. In this process, the direct problem will be solved by using the heat fundamental solution. Then a se...

In this contribution, we investigate an inverse source problem for a fractional diffusion and wave equation with the Caputo derivative of space-dependent variable order. More specifically, discuss uniqueness solution when reconstructing from time-averaged measurement, or final in time measurement. Weakly singular solutions are included class admissible solutions. The obtained results also valid...

the drying behavior of green peas is investigated in a pilot scaled fluidized bed dryer (fbd) with inert particles assisted by an infra red (ir) heat source. the variation of shrinkage and moisture diffusivity with temperature and moisture content were investigated. the experimental drying curves were adjusted to the diffusion model of fick’s law for spherical particles. the result was that, al...

One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...

This study proposes a closed-form solution for the two-dimensional (2D) transient heat conduction in rectangular cross-section of an infinite bar with space–time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions and sources. The main purpose this is to eliminate limitations previous add sources system. restriction that values initial at four corners region should be zero. First, value problem 2D system t...
