Abstract: A method for buffering thermal energy comprises a thermal buffering medium contained by a thermal energy buffer. The volume of the thermal buffering medium is subdivided in one or more parts such that the different parts of the volume of the thermal buffering medium together form the total thermal buffering medium. The thermal energy buffer comprises a temperature sensor for each part. A controller has at least one signal representing at least one thermal energy value related to the thermal energy buffer. The thermal energy values comprise a predetermined minimum amount of thermal energy present in the thermal energy buffer. The controller controls a heater such that the amount of thermal energy present in the thermal energy buffer is higher than or equals the predetermined minimum amount of energy present in the thermal energy buffer.

Abstract: Variable volume systems and methods of use thereof described herein are capable of making calibrated determinations of fluid properties and phase behavior of a fluid sample. The determinations can be calibrated based on one or more calibration functions, such as system volume corrected for pressure and temperature variations. Cross-checking the results of measurements can be used to determine accuracy of the calibration or monitor for leaks or other anomalies of the variable volume systems. The variable volume systems can be implemented in a well logging tool and are capable of being calibrated downhole.

Abstract: Method, systems, and devices for determining instantaneous heat exchange between an airflow and a heat exchange element of an HVAC system are disclosed. In some embodiments, methods and systems include receiving or otherwise obtaining airflow data, temperature and humidity data. The airflow data may be used to calculate the volumetric airflow rate, and the temperature and humidity data may be processed with enthalpy data to determine the change in enthalpy (Δh) of the airflow after encountering a heat exchange element. The instantaneous rate of heat exchange (E) between the airflow and the heat exchange element may then be determined from the volumetric airflow rate and change in enthalpy.

Abstract: A total air temperature sensor includes a probe head, a strut, and a turbulence inducing surface. The probe head has an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. The strut defines a leading edge and an opposed trailing edge extending along a longitudinal axis, and connects between the probe head and an opposed probe mount. The turbulence inducing surface is defined in the strut aft the leading edge. The turbulence inducing surface is configured to trip a fluid boundary layer passing over the strut to transition from laminar to turbulent for moving flow separation toward the trailing edge to reduce acoustic noise emission from the total air temperature sensor.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing variant thermal conditions at the porous-fluid interface under LTNE condition is disclosed. Exact solutions can be derived for both the fluid and solid temperature distributions for the most fundamental forms of thermal conditions at the interface between a porous medium and a fluid under LTNE conditions and the relationships between these solutions are obtained. The range of validity of all the models can be analyzed. Also, a critical non-dimensional half height of the porous media is determined, below which the LTE condition within porous region is considered to be valid. Furthermore, the range of validity of the LTE condition can be obtained based on the introduction of a critical parameter.
