The Impact

Heating wood to high temperature changes either temporarily or permanently its physical properties. This issue is addressed in the present contribution by examining the effect of high temperature on residual mechanical properties of spruce wood, grounding on the results of full-scale fire tests performed on GLT beams. Given these tests, a computational model was developed to provide through-thickness temperature profiles allowing for the estimation of a charring depth on the one hand and on the other hand assigning a particular temperature to each specimen used subsequently in small-scale tensile tests. The measured Young’s moduli and tensile strengths were accompanied by the results from three-point bending test carried out on two groups of beams exposed to fire of a variable duration and differing in the width of the cross-section, b=100 mm (Group 1) and b=160 mm (Group 2). As expected, increasing the fire duration and reducing the initial beam cross-section reduces the residual bending strength. A negative impact of high temperature on residual strength has also been observed from simple tensile tests, although limited to a very narrow layer adjacent to the charring front not even exceeding a typically adopted value of the zero-strength layer d0=7 mm. On the contrary, the impact on stiffness is relatively mild supporting the thermal recovery property of wood.

In this study we use theoretical concepts and computational-diagnostic tools of Tsallis non-extensive statistical theory (Tsallis q-triplet: qsen, qrel, qstat), complemented by other known tools of nonlinear dynamics such as Correlation Dimension and surrogate data, Hurst exponent, Flatness coefficient, and p-modeling of multifractality, in order to describe and understand Small-scale Magnetic Islands (SMIs) structures observed in Solar Wind (SW) with a typical size of ~0.01–0.001 AU at 1 AU. Specifically, we analyze ~0.5 MeV energetic ion time-intensity and magnetic field profiles observed by the STEREO A spacecraft during a rare, widely discussed event. Our analysis clearly reveals the non-extensive character of SW space plasmas during the periods of SMIs events, as well as significant physical complex phenomena in accordance with nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory. As our analysis also shows, a non-equilibrium phase transition parallel with self-organization processes, including the reduction of dimensionality and development of long-range correlations in connection with anomalous diffusion and fractional acceleration processes can be observed during SMIs events.

A prototype water-glycerol two tank storage system was designed to simulate the fluidic properties of a high temperature molten salt system while allowing for room temperature testing of a low cost, small scale pneumatically pumped thermal storage system for use in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. Pressurized air is metered into a primary heat transfer fluid (HTF) storage tank; the airflow displaces the HTF through a 3D printed prototype thermoplate receiver and into a secondary storage tank to be dispatched in order to drive a heat engine during peak demand times. A microcontroller was programmed to use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate air flow via an air solenoid. At a constant frequency of 10Hz, it was found that the lowest pressure drops and the slowest flowrates across the receiver occurred at low duty cycles of 15% and 20% and low inlet air pressures of 124 and 207 kPa. However, the data also suggested the possibility of slug flow. Replacement equipment and design modifications are suggested for further analysis and high temperature experiments. Nevertheless, testing demonstrated the feasibility of pneumatic pumping for small systems.
