Previous studies of bridge-based micro calorimeters have shown that these devices can measure heat capacity and melting point of ultra thin films with pulse scan calorimetry. The bridge-based micro calorimeters consist of a sample region and several beams that connecting the sample region with silicon substrate. Both the sample region and the beams are suspending on the silicon substrate for thermal isolation. The temperature distribution of the micro calorimeter during a heating pulse depends on the joule-heating of the heating resistor, the heat absorption and heat conduct of the bridge. The heat transfer through the beams during a pulse scan measurement is complex because there is heat generation on some beams and the temperature distribution along the beams is not uniform. Using three dimensional finite element analyses (FEA), the thermal-electrical simulations of the heat transfer in the bridge-based micro calorimeters have been performed. The heat consumption and temperature distribution at steady state analyses, the temperature response of the bridge and the heat generation of the heater at transient analyses have been calculated for the bridge-based micro calorimeter with different sample thermal conductivities and heat capacities. The simulation results indicate that for the bridge-based microcalorimeter using pulse calorimetry, when the heat capacity of the sample film is close to or larger than the heat capacity of an empty calorimeter, the differential method of getting the sample heat capacity from the difference between a micro calorimeter with and without the sample is no longer suitable because the heat transfer and temperature distributions of the two calorimeters are no longer comparable to each other.

An energy-based life prediction method is used in this study to determine the fatigue life of tension-compression loaded components in the very low cycle regime between 102 and 104. The theoretical model for the energy-based prediction method was developed from the concept that the strain energy accumulated during both monotonic failure and an entire fatigue process are equal; In other words, the scalar quantity of strain energy accumulated during monotonic failure is a physical damage quantity that correlates to fatigue as well. The energy-based method has been successfully applied to fatigue life prediction of components failing in the fatigue regime between 104 and 107 cycles. To assess Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) with the prediction method, a clearer understanding of energy dissipation through heat, system vibration, damping, surface defects and acoustics were necessary. The first of these topics analyzed is heat. The analysis conducted studies the effect of heat generated during cyclic loading and heat loss from slipping at the interface of the grip wedges of the servo-hydraulic load frame and the test specimen. The reason for the latter is to address the notion that slippage in the experimental setup may be the cause of the reduction in the accuracy of the energy-based prediction method for LCF, which was seen in previous research. These analyses were conducted on Titanium 6Al-4V, where LCF experimental data for stress ratios R = −1 and R = −0.813 were compared with the energy-based life prediction method. The results show negligible effect on both total and cyclic energy from heat generation at the interface of the grip wedges and heat generation in the fatigue zone of the specimen.

Wind energy expansion is worldwide followed by various limitations, i.e. land availability, the NIMBY (not in my backyard) attitude, interference on birds migration routes and so on. This undeniable expansion is pushing wind farms near populated areas throughout the years, where noise regulation is more stringent. That demands solutions for the wind turbine (WT) industry, in order to produce quieter WT units. Focusing in the subject of airfoil noise prediction, it can help the assessment and design of quieter wind turbine blades. Considering the airfoil noise as a composition of many sound sources, and in light of the fact that the main noise production mechanisms are the airfoil self-noise and the turbulent inflow (TI) noise, this work is concentrated on the latter. TI noise is classified as an interaction noise, produced by the turbulent inflow, incident on the airfoil leading edge (LE). Theoretical and semi-empirical methods for the TI noise prediction are already available, based on Amiet’s broadband noise theory. Analysis of many TI noise prediction methods is provided by this work in the literature review, as well as the turbulence energy spectrum modeling. This is then followed by comparison of the most reliable TI noise methodologies, qualitatively and quantitatively, with the error estimation, compared to the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings solution for computational aeroacoustics. Basis for integration of airfoil inflow noise prediction into a wind turbine noise prediction code is the final goal of this work.

The problem of combined free-forced convection and mass transfer flow over a vertical porous flat plate, in presence of heat generation and thermaldiffusion, is studied numerically. The non-linear partial differential equations and their boundary conditions, describing the problem under consideration, are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using usual similarity transformations. This system is solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique together with Runge-Kutta sixth order integration scheme. The effects of suction parameter, heat generation parameter and Soret number are examined on the flow field of a hydrogen-air mixture as a non-chemical reacting fluid pair. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the flow field is significantly influenced by these parameters.
