THE THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF MASS AND ENERGY FLOW THROUGH SOLAR COLLECTOR - CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 24
Abstract
The goal of the paper was to simplify the designing process for mass and energy flow through solar collector - chimney system. Theoretical analysis allowed to get involved system of three nonlinear analytical equations in dimensionless forms that have been saved. Dimensionless numbers for the problem are well known in the literature on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics: Reynolds, Grashof, Galileo, Biot and Prandtl. In the analyzed equations are also dimensionless geometric parameters expressing the ratios of basic geometrical dimensions of the collector system-chimney: the radius disc collector to the thickness gap, the height and radius of the chimney. In the system of equations, the Reynolds number is treated as the determined number, which is a novelty of the method used.

APPLICATION OF THE MATHAR METHOD TO IDENTIFY INTERNAL STRESS VARIATION IN STEEL AS A WELDING PROCESS RESULT
The paper deals with the method to identify internal stresses in two-dimensional steel members. Steel members were investigated in the delivery stage and after assembly, by means of electric-arc welding. In order to perf...
STABILITY OF SELECTED PAHs IN SEWAGE SLUDGE
The aim of the investigations was to estimate the half-life of selected PAHs in sewage sludge. Five hydrocarbons selected from 16 PAHs- EPA were chosen. In this study, the quantity changes in the concentration 3- and 4-r...

LIMIT ANALYSIS OF GEOMETRICALLY HARDENING COMPOSITE STEEL-CONCRETE SYSTEMS
The paper considers some results of creating load-carrying composite systems that have uprated strength, rigidity and safety, and therefore are called geometrically (self-) hardening systems. The optimization mathematic...
