Heat transient processes identification of the elements of internal environment system

Abstract

Introduction. The study of heat exchange transients in the climate system “Heater-Ventilator-Room”, when ventilator capacity varies step-wise, is presented. The construction of functional relations between inputs and outputs of the system is the object of special attention. This allows for a non-parametric identification of impulse responses in the system for simulation and control.
 Materials and methods. The climate system is represented by a combination of several different-type elements with step inputs and experimental data as outputs. Mathematical models of the elements are governed by Volterra integral equation of the 2nd kind. Solution of this equation is an ill-posed problem, and specifics of identification experiments do not allow applying computational methods of classical regularization algorithms. A non-parametric identification of impulse responses for the elements is performed by the authors’ stable algorithm with due regard for real technical systems specifics. The algorithm is founded on stable differentiation by smoothing cubic splines with optimal smoothing parameter estimation and special type boundary conditions.
 Results. Non-parametric identification algorithm is adapted for the investigated climate system. The inverse problems of impulse responses identification and the direct problems of heat flux reactions prediction are solved. A high convergence of theoretical and experimental data is shown.
 Conclusions. The behavior of the transients is predictable for the climate system under the particular operation mode. The algorithm proposed takes proper account of practical problems specifics. The results obtained suggest the efficiency of the algorithm for applied identification problems solutions in real complex technical systems.

Modeling heating of faulty roller of belt conveyor in the presence of coal dust

“…The heat Q r mostly influences the roller according to equation ( 6). The belt passes the friction region too fast to get heated, and the heat Q b has no material effect on the roller heating [29,30].…”
