Residential air exchange rates (AERs) are vital in understanding the temporal and spatial drivers of indoor air quality (IAQ). Several methods to quantify AERs have been used in IAQ research, often with the assumption that the home is a single, well‐mixed air zone. Since 2005, Health Canada has conducted IAQ studies across Canada in which AERs were measured using the perfluorocarbon tracer (PFT) gas method. Emitters and detectors of a single PFT gas were placed on the main floor to estimate a single‐zone AER (AER1z). In three of these studies, a second set of emitters and detectors were deployed in the basement or second floor in approximately 10% of homes for a two‐zone AER estimate (AER2z). In total, 287 daily pairs of AER2z and AER1z estimates were made from 35 homes across three cities. In 87% of the cases, AER2z was higher than AER1z. Overall, the AER1z estimates underestimated AER2z by approximately 16% (IQR: 5–32%). This underestimate occurred in all cities and seasons and varied in magnitude seasonally, between homes, and daily, indicating that when measuring residential air exchange using a single PFT gas, the assumption of a single well‐mixed air zone very likely results in an under prediction of the AER. 相似文献

Experiments were performed to study the airflow rates (AFRs) in a naturally ventilated building through four summer seasons and three winter seasons. The AFRs were determined using heat balance (HB), tracer gas technique (TGT) and CO2-balance as averages of the values of all experiments carried out through the different seasons. The statistical analyses were correlation analysis, regression model and t-test. Continuous measurements of gaseous concentrations (NH3, CH4, CO2 and N2O) and temperatures inside and outside the building were performed. The HB showed slightly acceptable results through summer seasons and unsatisfactory results through winter seasons. The CO2-balance showed unexpected high differences to the other methods in some cases. The TGT showed reliable results compared to HB and CO2-balance. The AFRs, subject to TGT, were 0.12 m3 s−1 m−2, 1.15 m3 s−1 cow−1, 0.88 m3 s−1 LU−1, 56 h−1, 395 m3 s−1 and 470 kg s−1 through summer seasons, and 0.08 m3 s−1 m−2, 0.83 m3 s−1 cow−1, 0.64 m3 s−1 LU−1 39 h−1, 275 m3 s−1 and 328 kg s−1 through winter seasons. The AFRs are not independent values, rather they were estimated for specific reference values, which are: area, cow and LU as well as rates. The emission rates through summer seasons, subject to TGT, were 9.4, 40, 3538 and 2.3 g h−1 cow−1; and through winter seasons were 4.8, 19, 2332 and 2.6 g h−1 cow−1, for NH3, CH4, CO2 and N2O, respectively. 相似文献

In the reliability analysis of tunnels, the limited state function is implicit and nonlinear, and is difficult to apply based on the traditional reliability method, especially for large-scale projects. Least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) are capable of approximating the limited state function without the need for additional assumptions regarding the function form, in comparison to traditional polynomial response surfaces. In the present work, the LS-SVM method was adapted to obtain the limited state function. An LS-SVM-based response surface method (RSM), combined with the first-order reliability method (FORM), is proposed for use in tunnel reliability analysis and implementation of the method is described. The reliability index obtained from the proposed method applied to particular tunnel configurations under different conditions shows excellent agreement with Low and Tang’s (2007) method and traditional RSM results, and indicates that the LS-SVM-based RSM is an efficient and effective approach for reliability analysis in tunnel engineering. 相似文献

While the road maintenance performance measurement systems that are currently in use investigate maintenance level of service (i.e. effectiveness of the road maintenance), the fundamental relationship between the maintenance level of service and the budget requirements (i.e. the efficiency of road maintenance) has not received as much attention. Given that not knowing how ‘efficient’ transportation agencies are in being ‘effective’ can lead to excessive and unrealistic maintenance budget expectations, there is a need for a performance measurement system that can assess the overall efficiency of road maintenance operations. To address this need, a framework was developed and implemented to assess the relative cost efficiency of eight counties in Virginia, USA in maintaining the paved lanes of the Interstate roads. Such framework is developed using a methodology known as data envelopment analysis which is based on the production theory and principles of linear programming. The results indicate that the Rockbridge County is the most efficient and the Roanoke County is the least efficient in maintaining the paved lanes. The findings of this research are intended to be used as guides for benchmarking as well as managerial actions and policy making for decision making with respect to road maintenance. 相似文献

高分辨率数码相机的出现为砂土模型试验变形场非接触量测法的研究开发提供了一条简便经济而且实用的途径,在模型试验观测面上,不再需要布置嵌入式量测标志点或描画网格,直接用数码相机在试验各阶段拍摄照片,然后对照片序列进行图像相关分析,即可得出模型试验的变形场分布。利用图像匹配技术追踪模型上点的位移,借用FEM常用的等参单元的概念进行图像校准和应变计算,采用双线性插值技术可以实现微小变形量测,并提出同时用平移和旋转搜索方法,以适应砂土模型的变形特点。精度检验试验结果表明,一个像素以下的平移量测标准方差达到0.19个像素,数值试验表明,15°旋转刚体变形量测,非旋转搜索和旋转搜索的标准方差分别为0.49和0.08个像素。最后给出一个在砂土地基承载力离心机模型试验中的应用实例,分析结果包含砂土模型位移场、最大剪应变场和体积应变场的分布图。结果表明这一方法使得砂土模型局部化变形、剪切带和渐进破坏过程的量化分析成为可能。 相似文献

Following a disaster in a mine, it is important to understand the state of the mine damage immediately with limited information to manage the emergency effectively. Tracer gas technology can be used to understand the ventilation state remotely where other techniques are not practical. Computational fluid dynamics is capable of simulating and ascertaining information about the state of ventilation controls inside a mine by simulating the airflow and tracer distribution. This paper describes a simulation of tracer gas distribution in a simplified laboratory experimental mine with the ventilation controls in various states. Tracer gas measurements were taken in the laboratory experimental apparatus, and used to validate the numerical model. The distribution of the tracer gas, together with the ventilation status, was analyzed to understand how the damage to the ventilation system related to the distribution of tracer gases. Detailed error analysis was performed and the discrepancies between experimental and simulated results were discussed. The results indicate that the methodology established in this study is feasible to determine general ventilation status after incidents and can be transferred to field experiment. Because it is complex to simulate the actual condition of an underground mine in a laboratory, the model mine used is simplified to simulate the general behavior of ventilation in a mine. This work will be used to inform planned on-site experiments in the future and the proposed methodology will be used to compare collected and simulated profiles and determine the general location of ventilation damage at the mine scale. 相似文献

To improve the accuracy of data analysis methods for the field measurement of wall thermal resistance, a method considering wind velocity is presented through an analysis of both surface heat flux and temperature samples. This analysis method takes the wall heat transfer of linear system into account, simplifying the first order differential equation of wall transient response based on the nodes of the interior and exterior wall surfaces. An approximate solution has been proposed in the form of time domain interpolation. By applying the weighted residual method for the approximate solution, the data analysis method about temperature, heat flux, and wind velocity can be achieved.A transient heat transfer model of a wall was established applying the infinite difference method, by which the proposed analysis method was validated in this paper. Additionally, the heat flow meter experiment platform considering wind velocity was built, on which the proposed method, the mean method and the dynamic analysis method suggested by the international standard ISO 9869 were applied to the test wall under different wind velocities. The wall thermal resistance value obtained in our proposed method has proven to be in better agreement with that obtained for a steady state. 相似文献

The low capital cost, low lead times, and flexible operation of natural gas combustion turbines are qualitatively different from other power generation technologies and have the potential for faster investment payback. We explore this hypothesis with a retrospective analysis of natural gas combustion turbine economics in six locations, with revenue from energy, frequency regulation, reserve, and capacity markets. Using historical data, we find payback periods from 8.5 to 15 years. Gas turbines can be financially justified with a single profitable decade of service and are thus more economically compatible with a decarbonizing grid than other types of fossil fuel infrastructure. 相似文献

水合物开采通过打破固相水合物相平衡状态使其分解为水和气体,含水合物沉积物(gas hydrate-bearing sediment,GHBS)固相组分减少使孔隙体积增大,土骨架间胶结作用弱化,产生的水和气显著改变孔隙压力,造成沉积物软化和体积收缩。基于GHBS三轴压缩试验,考虑水合物降压分解过程对GHBS变形特性的影响,将固相骨架分为惰性土骨架和可分解的水合物固相,引入随水合物饱和度变化的压缩参数,建立了能够描述GHBS应力和水合物分解耦合作用、体积应变随时间变化的分析模型。该模型能够描述降压速率、降压幅值及水合物分解速率对GHBS变形特性的影响,结果表明:降压速率增大,降压阶段体积应变速率增大,达到相平衡时间缩短,降压开采时应综合考虑开采过程中储层变形速率和开采效率间的关系;不同粒径组成的沉积物水合物分解速率存在差异,分解速率对储层变形速率影响明显;降压开采稳定孔压影响储层最终沉降量,降低稳定孔压可以提高开采效率,但最终变形量增大。 相似文献

Most thermal properties of construction materials used in the analysis of building performance have been measured under laboratory
conditions, using a guarded hot box or hot plate apparatus. As a consequence, these properties seldom reflect the impact of
actual conditions (especially moisture content) on the values of thermal conductivity and diffusivity. Hence there is a need
to develop techniques that take into account local conditions, and measure building material properties in situ. One option
available is the use of a thermal probe. The thermal probe technique is based on creating a line source in a material sample
and measuring the temperature rise in the sample in reaction to heat being applied. Obviously the data analysis routines used
to calculate thermal conductivity and diffusivity based on the temperature rise observed are crucial to the success of the
technique. This work has used transient thermal simulation of a model representing a line source in an infinite material sample
to generate a set of numerical data sets to validate analysis routines in conjunction with an experimental thermal probe apparatus.
Findings show that by careful application of these routines, a close agreement with simulation input values can be achieved,
with errors of less than one percent. This validates the analysis routines and provides a deeper appreciation of the theoretical
behaviour of a thermal probe. 相似文献
