We develop incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (IMHD) energy budget equations witha spatial filtering kernel and estimate the scaling of the structure functions. The Politano-Pouquetlaw is recovered as an upper bound on the scale-to-scale energy transfer. The primary result ofthis work is the relation of the scaling of IMHD invariants. It can be produced by hypothesizing ascale-independent energy transfer rate. These results have relevance in plasma regimes where theapproximations of IMHD are justified. We measure structure functions with solar wind data and findsupport for the relations.

<p>Differential flow among different ion species are always observed in the solar wind, and such ion differential flow can provide a free energy to drive the Alfven/ion-cyclotron and fast-magnetosonic/whistler instabilities. Previous works on the ion beam instability are mainly focused on the solar wind parameters at 1 au. We extend this study using the radial model of the magnetic field and plasma parameters in the inner heliosphere. We present the distributions of the energy transfer rate among the unstable waves and the particles, which would be useful to predict the change of parallel and perpendicular temperatures during the instability evolution. Moreover, we propose an effective growth length to estimate the effective growth in each instability, and we explore that the oblique Alfven/ion-cyclotron instability, the oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler instability and the oblique Alfven/ion-beam instability can be effectively driven by proton beams having speed of 500-2000 km/s in the solar atmosphere. We also show that the unstable waves driven by the proton beam instability would be responsible for the solar corona heating. These predictions can be checked by in situ satellite measurements in the inner heliosphere.</p>

This study investigated the optimal design of a capillary heat exchanger device for the heat pump system and its innovative engineering application in a building. The overall aim was to use a capillary heat exchanger to obtain energy in coastal areas for promoting renewable energy in low-carbon building design. Initially, the main factors affecting the efficiency of the capillary heat exchanger were identified, a mathematical model was then established to analyse the heat transfer process. The analysis showed the flow rate and the capillary length are the key factors affecting the efficiency of the capillary heat exchanger. Secondly, to optimize the structural design of the capillary heat exchanger, the heat energy transfer is calculated with different lengths of the capillary under various flow rates in summer and winter conditions, respectively. Thirdly, a typical building is selected to analyse the application of the capillary heat exchanger for extracting energy in the coastal area. The results show the performance of the selected capillary heat exchanger heat pump system, in winter, the heat energy transfer rate is 60 W/m2 when the seawater temperature is 3.7 °C; in summer, the heat energy transfer rate is 150 W/m2 when the seawater temperature is 24.6 °C. Finally, the above field test results were examined using a numerical simulation model, the test and simulation results agree with each other quite well. This paper is conducive in promoting the development of the capillary heat exchanger heat pump as an innovative sustainable technology for net-zero energy and low carbon buildings using renewable energy in coastal areas. Practical application: A recently proposed capillary heat exchanger is used as an energy extraction and utilisation device to obtain energy in coastal areas for promoting renewable energy in low-carbon building design. This paper explores the application of a capillary heat exchanger as both cold and heat sources for application in typical low-rise buildings. The analysis of the heat energy transfer rate of a typical low-rise building located in a coastal area in summer and winter provides guidance for the application of capillary heat exchangers.
