Laser cooling arc plasma effect in laser-arc hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel
摘要： Current laser-plasma interaction theory supports that the plasma energy e.g. electron temperature would increase by the effect of inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) absorption, when a laser beam passed through the plasma. However, in this paper, we found an interesting laser cooling arc plasma effect (LCAPE) during kilo-Watt fiber laser-TIG hybrid welding. Based on theoretical modelling and experiments, we observed that a temperature decrease of more than 5000 K at the tail of the argon plasma occurred under different process parameters during hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel. We proposed the LCAPE is caused by the laser-induced metal vapor. The mechanism mainly includes the convection cooling and enhanced radiation of the arc plasma by the metal vapor. Our findings could broaden the theory of laser-plasma interaction and provide a theoretical reference to the modulation and control of plasma in industries.

Enhanced working efficiency of Si solar cell by water induced nano-porous thermal cooling layer
摘要： Nano-porous thermal cooling layer (TCL) of thickness 14 mm beneath a Si solar cell reduces its working temperature from 82 °C to 68 °C This reduced working temperature increase its absolute working ef?ciency by 0.75%. X-Ray diffraction analysis of the material used in TCL shows its amorphous nature. The SEM images con?rm interconnected carbon particles are forming micro-channels within the TCL. Further FESEM analysis has been done to examine the in-depth structure of the carbon particles and shows the nano-porous topography within the particle. The porosity of used TCL is examined by BET measurement which con?rms the highly porous nature of the TCL having surface area of the order of 798.35 m2 g?1 with average pore size of 2.3 nm. The induced water concentration (0.049 to 0.49 ml cm?3) dependent enhanced cooling ef?ciency of nano-porous TCL has been studied in detail. The use of water saturated (0.49 ml cm?3) TCL (14 mm thick) further decreases the working temperature of the device from 68 °C to 58 °C and the device works below this temperature for around three hours. Further, in order to enhance the effective time duration, the TCL thickness (4 mm to 26 mm) dependent cooling ef?ciency of water saturated TCL has been analyzed in detail. Use of optimized water saturated TCL beneath the solar cell improve its working ef?ciency from 11.4% (at 82 °C) to 12.69% (at 58 °C) which shows an absolute and relative enhancement of 1.29% and 11.32%, respectively in cell ef?ciency. Finally, thermal analyses of TCL and water cooling mechanism in it have been discussed in detail.

Grain size evolution under different cooling rate in laser additive manufacturing of superalloy
摘要： The processing parameters in laser additive manufacturing have a crucial impact on solidification microstructure especially grain size, thus influencing the properties of the final products. In this paper, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of processing parameters including scanning speed, laser power and powder feeding rate on grain size of the solidified track during laser metal deposition. A three-dimensional model considering heat transfer, phase change and Marangoni convection flow had also been developed to simulate the solidification parameters especially cooling rate (G × R) to illustrate the underlying mechanisms. The experimental and simulated results indicated that cooling rate increased and grain size decreased from 8.7 μm to 4.7 μm with the increase of scanning speed from 2 mm/s to 10 mm/s. Contrarily, cooling rate decreased and grain size increased with the increase of laser power and powder feeding rate. The numerical and experimental results provide the additive manufacturing process with the potential of microstructure control and performance optimization.

Suppression of crystallization in ZBLAN glass by rapid heating and cooling processing
摘要： ZBLAN glass is a heavy metal fluoride glass that tends to undergo heavy devitrification, resulting in a crystalline material. It has many applications, including its use as an optical waveguide for fibre optic technology. However, when the glass is processed with traditional casting techniques, crystallites form readily that act as scattering centres, which results in large attenuation losses. In this study, it has been experimentally demonstrated that processing ZBLAN rapidly with a heating rate of 25,000 K/min and cooling rate of 4,000 K/min yields test samples that are fully amorphous and retain a disordered molecular arrangement characteristic of its molten state. This novel method was developed using a specifically designed equipment named a Rapid Electro-thermal Processing Device, or “REPD”. The REPD applies ohmic heating and thermal conduction to a heat sink to rapidly process the ZBLAN material. The absence of crystallites in the rapidly processed ZBLAN test samples were verified using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Applying a theoretical algorithm, the critical cooling rate for yielding fully amorphous ZBLAN glass was determined to be 1081 K/min for a sample volume of 9.4 x 10-8 m3.

Metamaterial-Based Radiative Cooling: Towards Energy-Free All-Day Cooling
摘要： In the light of the ever increasing dangers of global warming, the efforts to reduce energy consumption by radiative cooling techniques have been designed, but are inefficient under strong sunlight during the daytime. With the advent of metamaterials and their selective control over optical properties, radiative cooling under direct sunlight is now possible. The key principles of metamaterial-based radiative cooling are: almost perfect reflection in the visible and near-infrared spectrum (0.3–3 μm) and high thermal emission in the infrared atmospheric window region (8–13 μm). Based on these two basic principles, studies have been conducted using various materials and structures to find the most efficient radiative cooling system. In this review, we analyze the materials and structures being used for radiative cooling, and suggest the future perspectives as a substitute in the current cooling industry.

Analysis of optical and thermal factors’ effects on the transient performance of parabolic trough solar collectors
摘要： Solar resources are inherently unsteady and their energy density on the earth is low. Thereby, when the solar energy is converted into thermal energy through concentrating the sunlight, how to predict the transient performance of parabolic trough solar collectors under the operating conditions is necessary for the steady useful output and the efficient use of the energy. So this paper describes a mathematical model of the transient thermal behaviors of parabolic trough solar collectors. Then, to validate this transient model, its numerical results are compared with the experimental data. These data were collected from a utility-scale loop of parabolic trough solar collectors. The comparison between the model predictions and the experimental data shows a consistent and reasonable agreement. Furthermore, the primary interest of this study is to determine how the temperature distributions of the absorber, the glass envelope and the heat transfer fluid evolve from initial conditions with specified optical and thermal parameters. Thus, this model is used to carry out parametric studies to make analyses of essential impact factors on transient behaviors of parabolic trough solar collectors. These factors include the temperature of the heat transfer fluid at the inlet, the initial conditions, and the optical efficiency. Moreover, this model has the function of continuous adjustment of the flow rate to satisfy the requirement of the temperature of the heat transfer fluid at the outlet according to varying boundary conditions. Hence, another analysis is performed to investigate transient processes when the flow rate is continuously adjusted at various DNI ramp rates.

Design and fabrication of the ultrathin metallic film based infrared selective radiator
摘要： Selective radiators have received considerable research attention and been extensively applied in many areas, such as thermophotovoltaic systems, infrared cloaking and sensing. Herein, the design of the infrared selective radiator based on ultrathin metallic films was fully demonstrated. From the discussions on the radiative characteristic and growth law of the metallic film, it has been concluded that a continuous ultrathin metallic film can behave as a thermal radiation enhancer. Taking the radiative cooling technology as the application background, a multilayered broadband selective radiator, consisting of an ultrathin Ag film and dielectric Ge films is designed and fabricated. The proposed radiator, which can radiate selectively in the 8–13 μm atmospheric transparency window (ε5–8 μm = 0.21; ε8–13 μm = 0.84; ε13–25 μm = 0.39), achieves an average temperature reduction of 3.5 °C under outdoor conditions and exhibits potential application in radiative cooling technology. Moreover, for our proposed selective radiator, flexible tuning of radiative characteristics can be achieved via structural design, which paves the way for its application in various areas. Unlike the common metamaterial based thermal radiator, our selective radiator with a planar structure is free from the complicated process of lithography or etching and is scalable to realize large-area fabrication and application.

Combined effects of unsteady wake and free-stream turbulence on turbine blade film cooling with laid-back fan-shaped holes using PSP technique
摘要： Detailed film cooling effectiveness distribution for a gas turbine blade under the effects of unsteady wakes and oncoming free-stream turbulence intensities was obtained using pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique. Tests were performed on a linear cascade at Reynolds number of 3.85 × 10^5 based on the blade chord at cascade exit. Upstream unsteady wakes were simulated using a spoke-wheel type wake generator. The test blade has three rows of compound angled cylindrical film holes at the leading edge, five rows of laid-back fan-shaped holes on the pressure surface and three rows of laid-back fan-shaped holes on the suction surface. The wake Strouhal number was varied from 0 to 0.36 and three mass flux ratios were determined. The oncoming free-stream turbulence intensities are 2.7% and 26.9%, respectively. Results show that the effect of the mass flux ratio on the film cooling effectiveness decreases under the high turbulence intensity and unsteady wake conditions. In most regions of the blade surface, the film cooling effectiveness decreases with the increase of wake Strouhal number, and the free-stream turbulence superimposed on the unsteady wake reduces the film cooling effectiveness further. The effect of the unsteady wake decreases under the high free-stream turbulence conditions.

Passive cooling of building-integrated photovolatics in desert conditions: Experiment and modeling
摘要： The ef?ciency of photovoltaic modules depends mainly on the cell operating temperatures. Performance enhancement of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels by passive cooling has been investigated both experimentally and with computational modeling. It has been shown that mounting the BIPV with a narrow channel can reduce the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panel. This enhancement in the heat transfer from the PV panel results in decreasing the average temperature of the PV panel from 5 to 10 (cid:1)C. Results show that having a 30 cm channel beneath the panel can increase the electrical output by 3e4%. This increase in PV output can translate into a signi?cant amount over the life cycle of a given PV module. Various channel aspect ratios have been tested in order to correlate the enhancement in performance to the cooling channel geometry. There is signi?cant consistency between the experimentally measured PV panel surface temperatures and those obtained from the computational model.

[IEEE 2018 15th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD) - Yassmine Hammamet, Tunisia (2018.3.19-2018.3.22)] 2018 15th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD) - An Integrated Thermal and Electrical Model for PV Panel Performance
摘要： This work presents an integrated thermal and electrical model for Photovoltaic panel based on Matlab/Simulink tools. The model is designed for extreme and dusty weather conditions. The objective of this work is to reach a realistic online simulation that accommodates all major environmental variables such ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar irradiation. The water mass flow rate was used to control the PV panel temperature through surface cooling in order to boost its output power. The output power adjustment was needed for power system operation purposes. The developed model is now ready any future controller development. The obtained results for testing the model under varying online climatic conditions and for various water mass flow rates were very satisfactory. The use of water to cool the panel played two major roles namely PV cleaning and temperature reduction then consequently increasing the panel power output.
