In this paper, a new type of warming compound blocks with slag concrete was designed and prepared. The effect of specification, hole pattern and form of warming compound blocks on the thermal property of the blocks was researched. The results show that, with the addition of slag, EPS and aerated concrete, the thermal property will be improved greatly. The thermal resistance of warming compound blocks with three rows of EPS would reach 1.13 m2•K/W, and the thermal resistance of warming compound blocks with three rows of aerated concrete would reach 0.83 m2•K/W.

Radiative heat transfer in high-temperature participating media displays very strong spectral, or “nongray,” behavior, which is both very difficult to characterize and to evaluate. This has led to very gradual development of nongray models, starting with primitive semigray and box models based on old experimental property data, to today's state-of-the-art k-distribution approaches with properties obtained from high-resolution spectroscopic databases. In this paper a brief review of the historical development of nongray models and property databases is given, culminating with a more detailed description of the most modern spectral tools.

This paper reports the use of a numerical solution of nanofluid flow. The boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet in combination of two nanofluids models is studied. The partial differential equation that governs this model was transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using similarity variables, and the numerical results were obtained by applying the shooting technique. Copper (Cu) nanoparticles (water-based fluid) were used in this study. This paper presents and discusses all numerical results, including those for the local Sherwood number and the local Nusselt number. Additionally, the effects of the nanoparticle volume fraction, Brownian motion Nb, and thermophoresis Nt on the performance of heat transfer are discussed. The results show that the stretching sheet has a unique solution: as the nanoparticle volume fraction φ (φ = 0), Nt (Nt = 0.1), and Nb decrease, the rate of heat transfer increases. Furthermore, as φ (φ = 0) and Nb decrease, the rate of mass transfer increases. The data of the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers were tested using different statistical distributions, and it is found that both datasets fit the Weibull distribution for different values of Nt and rotating φ.

Abstract The impact of measurement uncertainty on heat transfer coefficient correlations for supercritical CO2 is investigated. Selection of appropriate temperature- and pressure-dependent reference quantities for these correlations, such as thermal conductivity, appears to have a large effect on predicting heat transfer rates. Supercritical CO2 work heavily depends on tabular real fluid property data, which show that fluid properties have very large gradients with respect to temperature and pressure near the critical point. The sharp gradients imply heat transfer predictions are highly sensitive to the accuracy of temperature and pressure experimental measurements in this region. Root sum of squares (RSS) uncertainties of various property values indicate predictably large (on the order of 1000%) uncertainties in calculated Reynolds, Prandtl, and Nusselt numbers near the critical point. Interestingly, uncertainties remain several times the calculated value for operating pressures (between 7.5 and 8.5 MPa) common in the experimental literature, highlighting a need for careful application of correlations near the pseudocritical line, and the benefits of presenting dimensional data in the literature.
