چکیده

This paper suggests approaches to simulate scaling effects of thermal emission from non-isothermal pixels with a typical three-dimensional structure. We simulate effective emissivities of various V-shaped valleys by using our Monte Carlo method under the isothermal assumption. An analytical formula of the effective emissivities is derived based on photon rebounding between surfaces in the valleys. The comparison between the simulated and the analytically modelled effective emissivities shows that the analytical formula is highly accurate. After simulating effective emissivities of the V-shaped valley under several non-isothermal conditions, we find that the structure and component temperature difference of a pixel cause the scaling effects of thermal emission of the pixel. The results, therefore, prove that Planck’s law has to be corrected for remote sensing to estimate land surface temperature with high accuracy.

Inhomogeneous Effects of Temperature Change on the Velocity of Railgun in Three Dimensional Condition

In the Railgun which is used to accelerate objects, electrical energy is used to drive the system. In order to reach hypervelocities, a power supply with immense amount of energy must be used which causes an extra ordinary current on the rail and the armature. This current makes thermal energy by the ohmic attenuation and warms up various points and therefore changes the electrical, thermal and...

Simulation of Smoke Emission from Fires in High-Rise Buildings Using the 3D Model Generated from 2-Dimensional Cadastral Data

Having a 3-Dimensional model of high-rise buildings can be used in disaster management such as fire cases to reduce casualties. The fundamental dilemma in 3D building modeling is the unavailability of suitable data sources. However, available cadastral 2D maps could be used as low-cost and attainable resources for 3D building modeling. Smoke will be a great threat to people's health during a f...

Comparing thermal enhancement of Ag-water and SiO2-water nanofluids over an isothermal stretching sheet with suction or injection

In the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. To this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. It was found...
