This study delves into the potential application of whisker carbon nanotube (w-CNT) in terms of electrical heating performance, with a particular emphasis on its significance in high-efficiency electrothermal conversion applications. Meanwhile, a comparative study was conducted on traditional carbon nanotubes (T1 and T3) with different aspect ratios. A uniform and dense carbon nanotube paper (BP) was prepared using a vacuum filtration method, including single-layer (T1, T3 and w-CNT BP), double-layer gradient composite (T1/T3-g, w-CNT/T3-g), and mixed composite (T1/T3-m and w-CNT/T3-m). The thickness of each type of BP is approximately 100 μm. The results demonstrated that electrical conductivity and electrical heating performance of single-layer BPs follow the order of T1 > T3 > w-CNT. While, mixed composite BPs are superior to double-layer gradient composite BPs in electrical conductivity and thermal performance. Notably, w-CNT/T3-m BP exhibits excellent electrothermal performance. Under an applied voltage of 5 V, the surface temperature of w-CNT/T3-m BP reaches 190 ℃. When the voltage is increased to 6 V, the surface temperature rises by 150℃ within 10 s, reaching a steady-state temperature of 318 ℃. This excellent electrothermal performance can be attributed to the introduction of w-CNT, which has a perfect and defect free structure according to Raman analysis. In-depth analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated a more complete and higher degree of crystallinity in the w-CNT structure. In summary, this study not only provides experimental and theoretical basis for the application of high-performance electrothermal materials based on carbon nanotubes, but also foreshadows their broad application prospects in the field of macroscopic materials.

In this study, the calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the heating characteristics of the variable A/C system according to changes in loading time and outdoor dry bulb temperature. The heating capacity, COP and compressor discharge temperature were measured while changing the loading time of the compressor. To develop the correlation for compressor discharge temperature, loading time, indoor dry bulb temperature and outdoor dry bulb temperatures were considered as operating variables. As the outdoor temperature and loading time increased, the heating capacity and COP increased. However, the change in COP showed different trends depending on the outdoor temperature. The evaporation temperature according to the loading time is a good estimate of the outdoor temperature. However, as the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor rooms decreases and the loading time increases, the condensation pressure increases significantly, so the condensation temperature increases. The maximum deviation between the correlation and the experimental value for compressor discharge temperature was within approximately 2℃.

The present study investigates the impact of freeze–thaw deterioration on the electrical properties and electric-heating capabilities of cement mortar incorporating with carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon fibers (CF). Mortar samples, containing 0.5 wt.% CNT and 0.1 wt.% CF relative to the mass of cement, were prepared and subjected to freeze–thaw tests for up to 300 cycles. The electrical properties and electric-heating capability were evaluated every 30 freeze–thaw cycles, and the physicochemical characteristics of the samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The results indicate a decline in both electrical conductivity and heat-generation capability as the freeze–thaw cycles progress. Furthermore, changes in the pore structure of the mortar samples during the freeze–thaw cycles contributed to damage in the conductive network formed by CNT and CF, resulting in decreased electrical conductivity and heat-generation capabilities of the mortar samples.

We investigated dynamic interaction between adjacent magnetic loops in the solar atmosphere, which is a process of volume shrinkage with nonuniform acceleration caused by Lorentz force. When these loops locally have different thermal and dynamic properties, a significant discrepancy between their translational motions driven by means of that force may arise, leading to the dynamic interaction. We use both numerical simulation and analytic model of magnetic piston-driven wave to evaluate how much a single event of the interaction contributes to increasing the temperature in the upper chromosphere. The model shows a possibility that a chromospheric plasma is heated by the single event to have transition region temperature, which is typically several tens of times higher than chromospheric temperature. The model also provides an insight into the formation height of the transition region.

In the present study, a calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the heating capacity and COP changes according to the pipe length of a variable capacity A/C system with long pipes. Cooling capacity, COP, and compressor discharge temperature were obtained by changing pipe lengths and loading duties at fixed indoor and outdoor temperatures. And the operation status and cycle change process of the A/C system were investigated using some experimental data and P-h diagrams. As the pipe length changes, the heat transfer within the cycle and the operating load of the compressor change, so the heating capacity and COP of the system change. At the same loading duty, as the pipe length increases, the heating capacity and COP decrease. As the loading duty increased, the heating capacity increased almost linearly, but the COP decreased. Since the long pipe experimental value for the compressor discharge temperature has a temperature deviation of up to 1 7℃(50m, L/D : 10/10) from the correlation equation, the optimal correlation equation must be derived through additional research.

In this study, the heating performance of a variable capacity A/C system was experimentally studied. A psychrometric calorimeter was used to obtain performance data of the A/C system using PWM(pluse width modulation) method and compare it with the compressor discharge temperature correlation equation. Heating capacity, COP, and compressor discharge temperature were obtained by changing indoor and outdoor temperatures, refrigerant amount, and loading duty. The following results were obtained by selecting 5 types of refrigerant amount, 3 types of outdoor temperature (fixed indoor temperature), and 2 types of loading duty. As the outdoor temperature increases, heating capacity and COP increase. Heating capacity was affected by both outdoor temperature and loading duty. However, COP was more influenced by outdoor temperature. The effect of increasing the amount of refrigerant on the performance of the A/C system was not significant. Additionally, the temperature deviation between the existing compressor discharge temperature correlation equation and the heating experiment data was about 5.1℃ at the maximum loading duty.

Korea's facility horticultural heating costs account for a high proportion. Therefore, it is the most important factor to consider in greenhouse construction. It is important to assess the heating load of greenhouses. But there is not much data from the weather station. This study determined the heating load for each segmented area using the spatial correction method. The heating degeneration calculated from standard weather data (AHDH and BHDH) and total weather data (CHDH and DHDH) is consistent. However, there was a big difference between AHDH and DHDH. Therefore, the updated heating load data for each region is needed. Each of the four types of set temperatures (8℃, 12℃, 16℃, 20℃) was provided, and the heating temperature setpoint (℃) for each region of 168 cities and counties was presented. As a result of the analysis, the reliability of about 99% was confirmed in most of the regions suggested in this study. By using the calculated heating load for each region, it is possible to predict and utilize energy consumption and management costs.

PURPOSES : In this study, heating concrete is developed using heating artificial binder, which is more conductive and less expensive than ordinary Portland cement, and the heating effect is verified through laboratory tests and numerical analysis. METHODS : Based on the test results, the range of heat influence of the Heating concrete is calculated through numerical analysis. As a result of the laboratory test, the temperature rises to 58℃ after 10 minutes when heat generation started at the outdoor temperature of 12℃ and the initial temperature of the concrete specimen of 19.1℃. RESULTS : The heating effect is up to 50 cm in width and 90 cm in height centered on the heating concrete through numerical analysis to analyze the influence range of the Heating concrete based on the laboratory test results. However, when the distance from the heating concrete is greater than about 20 cm, the influence becomes very small, and the rate of temperature decrease drops significantly. CONCLUSIONS : From the test and numerical analysis, it can be used as an eco-friendly heating material suitable for concrete pavements.
