Modeling and Optimization of Solar Cooler for Domestic Usage
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Roshandel, Ramin (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis a general model for simulation of solar cooler for domestic usage is developed. The model consists of 2 main parts: thermo-dynamical and economical calculations. The thermodynamic part consists of 4 sub models: a model for calculation of incoming solar radiation, cooling load demand calculation, the refrigeration cycle and the solar cycle with heat storage.As for hourly calculation of system performance part of the model produces the hourly received radiation data based on geographical position and orientation of the receiving surface. Base on results of the cooling load calculation for a 9 m2 studying room located in western part of Tehran, 1 TBR (3.516 kW) is chosen as...

Spacecraft Attitude Estimation Via Nonlinear Filtering Using Thermal Sensors
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Pourtakdoust, Hossein (Supervisor) ; Alikhani, Alireza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The problem of spacecraft attitude determination (AD) using thermal data is investigated. Given the Solar space environment, the key dominant mechanism of heat transfer will be radiation, in which the Sun and Earth are the major contributing heat sources that affect the satellite external surface temperatures. In this sense, the net heat fluxes (NHF) of a satellite surface that is insulated against any internal heat communication will only be related to these main radiating sources. In order to utilize the satellite temperature data for AD, a heat attitude model (HAM) that relates the satellite surfaces NHF to its attitude is developed using three orthogonal satellite surfaces. Assuming...
Binding Energy of Multi-Partite Quantum Systems based on Quantum Thermodynamics Viewpoint
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Bahrampour, Alireza (Supervisor) ; Rezakhani, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Examining composite quantum systems through quantum thermodynamics, we face the new concept of binding energy. In this thesis, we are going to present a general definition for binding energy in quantum systems which covers any kind of interactions. First of all, we examine the possibility of energy exchange in a quantum system using quantum thermodynamics. In this theory, energy exchanges of an open quantum system may be divided in to two portions: heat and work; due to an accepted definition, heat is the portion of energy that is supposed to change entropy, while work has no influence on that. In this research, we restrict our calculations to the systems which are thermally closed and...
