The considered separation system was a microporous membrane contactor for separation of benzoic acid from water by contacting with an organic phase containing extractor molecules. Indeed, extractive separation is carried out using membrane technology where complex of solute-organic is formed at the interface. The main focus was to develop a simulation methodology for prediction of concentration distribution of solute (benzoic acid) in the feed side of the membrane system, as the removal efficiency of the system is determined by concentration distribution of the solute in the feed channel. The pattern of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was optimized by finding the optimum membership function, learning percentage, and a number of rules. The ANFIS was trained using the extracted data from the CFD simulation of the membrane system. The comparisons between the predicted concentration distribution by ANFIS and CFD data revealed that the optimized ANFIS pattern can be used as a predictive tool for simulation of the process. The R2 of higher than 0.99 was obtained for the optimized ANFIS model. The main privilege of the developed methodology is its very low computational time for simulation of the system and can be used as a rigorous simulation tool for understanding and design of membrane-based systems. Highlights are, Molecular separation using microporous membranes.

In this study, the air temperature and flow velocity of this micro‐climate were measured in a climate chamber at various room temperatures, using a thermal manikin simulating the heat release of the human being. Different techniques (Particle Streak Tracking, thermography, anemometry, and thermistors) were used for measurement and visualization. The manikin surface temperature was adjusted to the particular indoor climate based on simulations with a thermoregulation model (UCBerkeley Thermal Comfort Model). We found that generally, the micro‐climate is thinner at the lower part of the torso, but expands going up. At the head, there is a relatively thick thermal layer, which results in an ascending plume above the head. However, the micro‐climate shape strongly depends not only on the body segment, but also on boundary conditions: the higher the temperature difference between the surface temperature of the manikin and the air temperature, the faster the air flow in the micro‐climate. Finally, convective heat transfer coefficients strongly increase with falling room temperature, while radiative heat transfer coefficients decrease. The type of body segment strongly influences the convective heat transfer coefficient, while only minimally influencing the radiative heat transfer coefficient.

IS - 24, 6 SP - 567 EP - 579 ER - TY - THES A1 - Pastohr, Henry T1 - Thermodynamische Modellierung eines Aufwindkraftwerkes T1 - Thermodynamical modelling of an upwind power plant N2 - Die Energieversorgung auf der Erde wird zukünftig zu einem Problem. Bedingt ist dies durch eine fortschreitende Verknappung der natürlichen Ressourcen, wie Kohle, Gas und Öl sowie einer Zunahme der CO2-Konzentration und anderer Schadstoffe in der Atmosphäre. Regenerative Energiequellen müssen genutzt werden, um den steigenden Energiebedarf zu sichern. Eine interessante Möglichkeit zur Nutzung der Solarenergie stellt das Aufwindkraftwerk dar. Das Aufwindkraftwerk besteht aus einem Kamin, um den ein Glasdachkollektor auf dem Erdboden angeordnet ist. Am Fuße des Kamins befinden sich Turbinen und Generatoren. Die einfallende Solarenergie wird hauptsächlich über die Wechselwirkung mit dem Erdreich in thermische Energie, in kinetische Energie, in Rotationsenergie und in elektrische Energie umgewandelt. Das Ziel der Arbeit bestand in der physikalisch-mathematischen Modellierung, der genaueren Erkennung des Wirkprinzips und der Diskussion der Anlagenparameter Leistung und Wirkungsgrad. Im Rahmen dieser Aufgabe wurden dazu stationäre und instationäre Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Modelle und stationäre und instationäre vereinfachte Modelle entwickelt, diskutiert und miteinander verglichen. Grundlegend neue Erkenntnisse wurden bei den Verläufen der Temperaturen im Kollektor, insbesondere der Erdoberflächentemperatur erreicht. Parameteranpassungen im Wärmeübergangsmodell und Widerstandsmodell führten für vier ausgewählte, stationäre Sonnenenergien auf eine gute Übereinstimmung zwischen den Ergebnissen (Temperaturhub, Druckentnahme, Leistung und Wirkungsgrad) des stationären, hybriden Modells und des stationären CFD-Modells. Weiterhin stimmen die lokalen Größen Wärmeübergangskoeffizient, Erdoberflächentemperatur, Lufttemperatur und Glasdachtemperatur gut zwischen den Modellen überein. Mit dem CFD Modell wurden der Prototyp und 3 Großkraftwerke berechnet. Mit dem entwickelten instationären FDM-Modell wurden erstmalig numerische Langzeitsimulationen (1 Jahr) durchgeführt. Zur Überprüfung des Modells wurden die Ergebnisse mit Messwerten aus Manzanares verglichen, wobei eine gute Übereinstimmung erreicht werden konnte. Das Verständnis für die stattfindenden thermodynamischen und strömungsmechanischen Prozesse in einem Aufwindkraftwerk konnte durch die Arbeit maßgeblich verbessert werden. N2 - The energy supply on our earth will become a problem in future. This is conditional by a shortage of the natural source, like coal, gas and oil, as well as an increase in the concentration of gasous CO2 in the atmosphere. Regenerative energy sources must be used more increasingly to saveguard the increasing energy consumption. Upwind power plants represent an interesting possibility for the use of solar energy. The upwind power plant consist of an collector, an chimney and one ore several turbines. The collector heats the air by the interaction with the ground. The glass reflects the infrared radiation of the ground. The Chimney provides a large density difference between the collector exit and the atmosphere. The goal of this work was the mathematical und physical modelling of the thermodynamics in and around an upwind power plant. Steady and unsteady CFD models and steady and unsteady simplified models were developed and compared. Basically new knowledge was reached at the courses of the temperatures in the collector. A very good agreement between the results of the steady hybrid model and the steady CFD model (temperature difference of the collector, pressure at the turbine, power and degree of effectiveness) could be found for four solar energies. Furthermore, the local values of heat-transfer coefficient, soil temperature, temperature of the fluid and the temperature of the glass roof compare very well beetwen the models. The prototyp manzanares and three large power plants were solved with the developed CFD model. Numeric long time simulations (1 year) were carried out for the first time with the developed unsteady Finite-Difference-Model. The model was compared with results of the project Manzanares. A good agreement was found. The knowledge of the thermodynamical und fluid dynamical processes in an upwind power plant were improved substantial by this work.
