Simulace přestupu tepla v nízkonapěťovém rozváděči MNS / Simulation of Heat Transfer in Low-Voltage Switchboard MNS - Optimization of Heat Transfer into The SwitchboardCzudek, Aleš January 2015 (has links)
The thesis includes diagnostics temperature field of industrial low voltage. Place of origin, flow and heat transfer are important aspects in the design of the switchgear, especially in terms of proper equipment layout. The correctness of the design of the switchgear is verified by measuring the practical temperature field during testing or in work mode. To determine the temperature profile, it is necessary to measure the temperature at various points of the switchgear, either contact or contactless method. Measurements are performed on standardized low voltage switchboards, which are located power elements. The goal is to replace costly and time-consuming field testing switchgear efficient simulation of the temperature field mathematical model developed switchboards.

Numerical Methods for Bayesian Inference in Hilbert SpacesSprungk, Björn 15 February 2018 (has links)
Bayesian inference occurs when prior knowledge about uncertain parameters in mathematical models is merged with new observational data related to the model outcome. In this thesis we focus on models given by partial differential equations where the uncertain parameters are coefficient functions belonging to infinite dimensional function spaces. The result of the Bayesian inference is then a well-defined posterior probability measure on a function space describing the updated knowledge about the uncertain coefficient.
For decision making and post-processing it is often required to sample or integrate wit resprect to the posterior measure. This calls for sampling or numerical methods which are suitable for infinite dimensional spaces. In this work we focus on Kalman filter techniques based on ensembles or polynomial chaos expansions as well as Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
We analyze the Kalman filters by proving convergence and discussing their applicability in the context of Bayesian inference. Moreover, we develop and study an improved dimension-independent Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Here, we show geometric ergodicity of the new method by a spectral gap approach using a novel comparison result for spectral gaps. Besides that, we observe and further analyze the robustness of the proposed algorithm with respect to decreasing observational noise. This robustness is another desirable property of numerical methods for Bayesian inference.
The work concludes with the application of the discussed methods to a real-world groundwater flow problem illustrating, in particular, the Bayesian approach for uncertainty quantification in practice. / Bayessche Inferenz besteht daraus, vorhandenes a-priori Wissen über unsichere Parameter in mathematischen Modellen mit neuen Beobachtungen messbarer Modellgrößen zusammenzuführen. In dieser Dissertation beschäftigen wir uns mit Modellen, die durch partielle Differentialgleichungen beschrieben sind. Die unbekannten Parameter sind dabei Koeffizientenfunktionen, die aus einem unendlich dimensionalen Funktionenraum kommen. Das Resultat der Bayesschen Inferenz ist dann eine wohldefinierte a-posteriori Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung auf diesem Funktionenraum, welche das aktualisierte Wissen über den unsicheren Koeffizienten beschreibt.
Für Entscheidungsverfahren oder Postprocessing ist es oft notwendig die a-posteriori Verteilung zu simulieren oder bzgl. dieser zu integrieren. Dies verlangt nach numerischen Verfahren, welche sich zur Simulation in unendlich dimensionalen Räumen eignen. In dieser Arbeit betrachten wir Kalmanfiltertechniken, die auf Ensembles oder polynomiellen Chaosentwicklungen basieren, sowie Markowketten-Monte-Carlo-Methoden.
Wir analysieren die erwähnte Kalmanfilter, indem wir deren Konvergenz zeigen und ihre Anwendbarkeit im Kontext Bayesscher Inferenz diskutieren. Weiterhin entwickeln und studieren wir einen verbesserten dimensionsunabhängigen Metropolis-Hastings-Algorithmus. Hierbei weisen wir geometrische Ergodizität mit Hilfe eines neuen Resultates zum Vergleich der Spektrallücken von Markowketten nach. Zusätzlich beobachten und analysieren wir die Robustheit der neuen Methode bzgl. eines fallenden Beobachtungsfehlers. Diese Robustheit ist eine weitere wünschenswerte Eigenschaft numerischer Methoden für Bayessche Inferenz.
Den Abschluss der Arbeit bildet die Anwendung der diskutierten Methoden auf ein reales Grundwasserproblem, was insbesondere den Bayesschen Zugang zur Unsicherheitsquantifizierung in der Praxis illustriert.

Gestaltungsmethodik für Simulationsstudien in Umplanungsprojekten zur Energieeffizienzsteigerung in FabrikenStoldt, Johannes 26 September 2019 (has links)
Die effektive sowie effiziente Planung von Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen hat große Bedeutung für Produktionsunternehmen. Die um energetische Betrachtungen erweiterte Materialflusssimulation wird in diesem Kontext zunehmend als Werkzeug zur Untersuchung komplexer Wechselwirkungen von Material- und Energieflüssen in Fabriken eingesetzt. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Konzeptionierung und Systematisierung einer Methodik zur Ausgestaltung derartiger Simulationsstudien speziell in Umplanungsprojekten zur Energieeffizienzsteigerung zum Inhalt. Unter besonderer Beachtung entscheidungstheoretischer Ansätze soll es diese ermöglichen, unabhängig von der jeweils eingesetzten Simulationslösung projektspezifische Ausprägungen für die relevanten Gestaltungsaspekte einer Simulationsstudie in diesem Problemfeld zu bestimmen (z. B. zur Art und Weise der Modellierung des Energieverbrauchs). Das entwickelte Lösungskonzept besteht aus einem 13 Schritte umfassenden Vorgehensmodell sowie neun Lösungsmodulen zur Unterstützung von Entscheidungen hinsichtlich der Ausprägung ausgewählter Gestaltungsaspekte. Auf diesem Wege wird der gesamte Prozess von der Entwicklung einer Effizienzmaßnahme über die eigentliche Simulationsanwendung (in Anlehnung an die VDI-Richtlinie 3633 Blatt 1:2014) bis hin zur finalen Investitionsentscheidung unterstützt. Exemplarisch wurde die im Ergebnis der Arbeit stehende Methodik an drei Fallstudien erprobt. Dabei konnten alle definierten Anforderungen erfolgreich geprüft werden. / Effective and efficient planning of energy efficiency measures is of great importance to manufacturing companies. Material flow simulation that has been extended to also include energy is increasingly used in this context as a tool for the analysis of complex interactions between material flows and energy flows in factories. This thesis deals with the conception and the systemization of a methodology for designing such simulation studies specifically in re-planning projects that aim for energy efficiency improvements. Taking basic approaches from decision theory into particular consideration, it is intended to provide guidance in deciding on the project-specific manifestation for relevant characteristics of a simulation study in this problem area (e.g. the manner to model energy consumption), regardless of the utilised simulation solution. The developed solution comprises a 13 steps spanning process model as well as nine solution modules to support decisions concerning the choice of manifestation for selected characteristics. In this way, the entire process from the development of an energy efficiency measure through the actual application of simulation (following VDI guideline 3633 Part 1:2014) to the eventual investment decision is assisted. The results of this thesis were exemplarily tested in three case studies. All initially defined requirements could thereby be positively verified.

Counter-flow Ion Mobility Analysis: Design, Instrumentation, and CharacterizationAgbonkonkon, Nosa 14 November 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The quest to achieve high resolution in ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has continued to challenge scientist and engineers in the field of separation science. The low resolution presently attainable in IMS has continued to negatively impact its utility and acceptance. Until now, efforts to improve the resolution have mainly focused on better instrumentation and detection methods. However, since the resolution of IMS is diffusion limited, it makes sense to address this limitation in order to attain high resolution. This dissertation presents a new IMS technique, which utilizes a high electric field and opposing high gas flow velocity with the aim to improve resolution. This approach essentially reduces the residence time of ions in the analyzer. This new technique is called "counter-flow ion mobility analysis" (CIMA). Theoretical modeling of this new technique predicted that a resolution of over 1000 is possible, which is over one order of magnitude better than that of conventional IMS techniques currently used. A wind tunnel was designed and constructed to produce a plug gas flow profile that is needed for CIMA. The test region of the wind tunnel was used as the CIMA analyzer region and was constructed from power circuit boards, PCBs, (top and bottom walls) and conductive plastic side walls. An inclined electric field was created by applying suitable voltages to multiple electrode traces on the PCBs. This inclined field, when resolved into its x- and y-components, was used to oppose the counter-gas flow and transport the ions to the detector, respectively. The results obtained did not show an improvement over conventional IMS techniques because of a limitation in the voltage that could be applied to the analyzer region. However, the results predict that high resolution is possible if (1) the ratio of the electric fields in the horizontal (x direction) to the vertical (y direction) is within the range of 2--0.5, (2) very high electric field and high gas flow velocities are applied, and (3) wall effects in the counter-flow gas profile are eliminated. While the resolution obtained using the present instrumentation is far from what was predicted, the foundation for ultimately achieving high resolution has been laid. The use of a wind tunnel has made the instrumentation possible. As far as the author knows, this is the first time a wind tunnel has been used in chemical measurement instrumentation. Chapter 5 of this dissertation, reports a method developed for predicting the reduced mobility constants, of chemical compounds. This method uses a purely statistical regression analysis for a wide range of compounds which is different from similar methods that use a neural network. The calculated value for this method was 87.4% when calculated values were plotted against experimental K0 values, which was close to the value for the neural network method (i.e., 88.7%).

Modelagem computacional de escoamentos com duas e três fases em reservatórios petrolíferos heterogêneos / Computational modeling of two and three-phase flow in heterogeneous petroleum reservoirsGrazione de Souza 21 February 2008 (has links)
Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Considera-se neste trabalho um modelo matemático para escoamentos com duas e três fases em reservatórios petrolíferos e a modelagem computacional do sistema de equações governantes para a sua solução numérica. Os fluidos são imiscíveis e incompressíveis e as heterogeneidades da rocha reservatório são modeladas estocasticamente. Além disso, é modelado o fenômeno de histerese para a fase óleo via funções de permeabilidades relativas. No caso de escoamentos trifásicos água-óleo-gás a escolha de expressões gerais para as funções de permeabilidades relativas pode levar à perda de hiperbolicidade estrita e, desta maneira, à existência de uma região elíptica ou de pontos umbílicos para o sistema não linear de leis de conservação hiperbólicas que descreve o transporte convectivo das fases fluidas. Como conseqüência, a perda de hiperbolicidade estrita pode levar à existência de choques não clássicos (também chamados de choques transicionais ou choques subcompressivos) nas soluções de escoamentos trifásicos, de difícil simulação numérica. Indica-se um método numérico com passo de tempo fracionário, baseado
em uma técnica de decomposição de operadores, para a solução numérica do sistema governante de equações diferenciais parciais que modela o escoamento bifásico água-óleo imiscível
em reservatórios de petróleo heterogêneos. Um simulador numérico bifásico água-óleo eficiente desenvolvido pelo grupo de pesquisa no qual o autor está inserido foi modificado com
sucesso para incorporar a histerese sob as hipóteses consideradas. Os resultados numéricos obtidos para este caso indicam fortes evidências que o método proposto pode ser estendido para o caso trifásico água-óleo-gás. A técnica de decomposição de operadores em dois níveis permite o uso de passos de tempo distintos para os quatro problemas definidos pelo procedimento de decomposição: convecção, difusão, pressão-velocidade e relaxação para histerese. O problema de transporte convectivo (hiperbólico) das fases fluidas é aproximado por um esquema central de diferenças finitas explícito, conservativo, não oscilatório e de segunda ordem. Este
esquema é combinado com elementos finitos mistos, localmente conservativos, para a aproximação dos problemas de transporte difusivo (parabólico) e de pressão-velocidade (elíptico).
O operador temporal associado ao problema parabólico de difusão é resolvido fazendo-se uso de uma estratégia implícita de solução (Backward Euler). Uma equação diferencial ordinária
é resolvida (analiticamente) para a relaxação relacionada à histerese. Resultados numéricos para o problema bifásico água-óleo em uma dimensão espacial em concordância com resultados semi-analíticos disponíveis na literatura foram reproduzidos e novos resultados em meios heterogêneos, em duas dimensões espaciais, são apresentados e a extensão desta técnica para o caso de problemas trifásicos água-óleo-gás é proposta. / We consider in this work a mathematical model for two- and three-phase flow problems in petroleum reservoirs and the computational modeling of the governing equations for its numerical solution. We consider two- (water-oil) and three-phase (water-gas-oil) incompressible, immiscible flow problems and the reservoir rock is considered to be heterogeneous. In our model, we also take into account the hysteresis effects in the oil relative permeability functions.
In the case of three-phase flow, the choice of general expressions for the relative permeability functions may lead to the loss of strict hyperbolicity and, therefore, to the existence of an elliptic region or umbilic points for the system of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws describing the convective transport of the fluid phases. As a consequence, the loss of hyperbolicity may lead to the existence of nonclassical shocks (also called transitional shocks or undercompressive shocks) in three-phase flow solutions. We present a new, accurate fractional time-step method based on an operator splitting technique for the numerical solution of a system of partial differential
equations modeling two-phase, immiscible water-oil flow problems in heterogeneous petroleum reservoirs. An efficient two-phase water-oil numerical simulator developed by our
research group was sucessfuly extended to take into account hysteresis effects under the hypotesis previously annouced. The numerical results obtained by the procedure proposed indicate
numerical evidence the method at hand can be extended for the case of related three-phase water-gas-oil flow problems. A two-level operator splitting technique allows for the use of distinct time steps for the four problems defined by the splitting procedure: convection, diffusion, pressure-velocity and relaxation for hysteresis. The convective transport (hyperbolic) of the fluid phases is approximated by a high resolution, nonoscillatory, second-order, conservative central difference scheme in the convection step. This scheme is combined with locally conservative mixed finite elements for the numerical solution of the diffusive transport (parabolic) and the pressure-velocity (elliptic) problems. The time discretization of the parabolic problem is performed by means of the implicit Backward Euler method. An ordinary diferential equation
is solved (analytically) for the relaxation related to hysteresis. Two-phase water-oil numerical results in one space dimensional, in which are in a very good agreement with semi-analitycal
results available in the literature, were computationaly reproduced and new numerical results in two dimensional heterogeneous media are also presented and the extension of this technique to the case of three-phase water-oil-gas flows problems is proposed.
