1	Evaluation and characterization of two capacitive sensors for cotton moisture measurement in static and dynamic modes for real-time use in cotton gin Perati, Sushma 13 December 2024 (has links) (PDF) Two capacitive sensors, a commercial FP-32C and a custom design capacitor plate were evaluated for real-time cotton moisture content (MC%) measurement in ginning environment. The sensors were able to measure MC ranges of 3.56%–19.7% and 4.56%–21.04% MC for FP-32C and custom capacitor pate, respectively. In dynamic mode, the ranges were 4.9%–14.5% and 4.9%–14.7% respectively. Results showed that measurements of both sensors had strong correlations with results obtained from oven method. A comparison of moisture content measurement methods using a moisture balance (M5 Thermo 163M,) and oven method was conducted with the result showing that Lint-Only samples were the most closely correlated to the oven method. The study concluded that both sensors, with appropriate calibration, offered good non-destructive methods of MC measurements in real-time, and they can be effective in providing a close loop control of cotton moisture in the gin. Key words: cotton moisture content, capacitive sensors, static mode, dynamic mode, real-time, moisture balance, non-destructive method.

3	Solární zisky v budovách / Solar Gains in Buildings Tenora, Tomáš January 2013 (has links) Master’s thesis deals with solar gains in buildings. The thesis presents an overview of the theoretical knowledge to solve solar gain. The thesis deals possibilities of measuring the intensity of solar radiation and evaluation of data from the meteorological station in the experimental part. Application of topic is then used for polyfunctional building. This part aims to show possibilities of design of air conditioning systems for the purpose of making indoor microclimate and their subsequent evaluation.
4	Fuktkontroll av en ventilerad platta på mark : Modellering i COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 Liljestrand, Simon, Lundell, Viktor January 2020 (has links) Krypgrunder i någon form har använts som grundkonstruktion i Sverige under långtid. Förr var det torpargrunder som med tiden blev isolerade krypgrunder och plintgrunder. Gemensamt för krypgrundskonstruktioner som är ventilerade med utomhusluft är att under sommarhalvåret blir det förhöjda relativa ånghalter. Syftet med fallstudien är att studera en uteluftsventilerad konstruktion med välisolerat bjälklag och markisolering. Konstruktionen är nedgrävd och ventilationen i grunden sker via en tunn spalt under marknivå. Luftspaltens temperatur och relativa ånghalt är av intresse för att avgöra om det finns risken för mögel i konstruktionen. En simulering av värmeflödet mellan byggnad och mark genomförs i COMSOLMultiphysics 5.5 för att avgöra temperaturfördelningen i konstruktionen. Temperaturfördelningen ligger som grund för fastställandet av relativ ånghalt i konstruktionens luftspalt. Simuleringen använder klimatdata för ett typår i Gävle. Simuleringen visar att det är höga temperaturer i luftspalten året runt. Detta ger enrelativ ånghalt som månadsmedel på 37–77% under ett år. Den höga temperaturen iluftspalten bidrar till att hålla konstruktionen torr då kritisk relativ ånghalt, 75–80%, inte överstigs under en längre period. Resultat är förvånansvärt positivt med en låg risk för mögeltillväxt i konstruktionen.Det finns många antaganden framförallt vilket luftflöde som återfinns i luftspalten.För att validera resultaten i arbetet så bör mätningar genomföras på de två prototyphus som existerar. / Crawl spaces in some form have been used as foundations in Sweden for a long time.In the past, it was uninsulated crawl spaces that eventually evolved into insulatedcrawl spaces and open plinth foundations. An increased relative humidity during thesummer is a common problem for crawl spaces that are ventilated with outdoor air. The purpose of the case study is to study an outdoor ventilated structure with wellinsulated floor and ground insulation. The construction is below ground level andthe ventilation takes place via a thin air gap below ground level. The temperatureand relative humidity in the air gap are of interest to determine if there is a risk ofmould growth in the design. A simulation of the heat flow between the building and the ground is carried out inCOMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 to determine the temperature distribution in the design.The temperature distribution is the basis for the determination of relative vaporcontent in the air gap of the structure.The simulation uses climate data for a typicalyear in Gävle. The simulation shows a high temperature in the air gap which gives a relative vaporcontent as a monthly average of 37–77% during a year. The high temperature in theair gap contributes to keeping the structure dry when critical relative humidity, 75–80%, is not exceeded for a longer period of time. The results are surprisingly positive with a low risk of mold growth in the construction.There are many assumptions, in particular, which airflow is found in the airgap. In order to validate the results in the work, measurements should be made onthe two prototype houses that exist.
