Development of a helium gas balloon flying system for aerial photographing and observation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the implementation of a helium gas balloon flying system equipped with a camera and tracking subsystem for aerial photography, which is partially the results of a successful project conducted in November 2012 by a group of electrical and electronic students from the University of Johannesburg.

Numerical investigation of the effect of slope errors and specularity errors on the thermal performance of a solar parabolic trough collector system

TL;DR: In this article, an optical and thermal analysis of a parabolic trough collector system for different slope errors and specularity errors is presented for optical analysis, the influence of slope errors, specularity and system geometry on heat flux distribution on the receiver's absorber tube is determined using Monte-Carlo ray tracing in SolTrace The ray tracing results are then coupled with a computational fluid dynamics code to investigate the thermal performance of the receiver.

Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics in Our Environment—HEFAT2012

TL;DR: A special issue dedicated to the 9th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics (HEFAT2012) as discussed by the authors focused on the characteristics of oxyfuel and air-fuel combustion in an industrial water tube boiler, numerical and optical analysis of a weather-adaptable solar reactor, the mitigation of crystallization fouling using projectiles in tubular heat exchangers, and a framework for the analysis of thermal losses in reciprocating compressors and expanders.
