The thermal heliotrope is a passive solar-array orientation device containing a bimetallic helix that rotates when activated by solar energy. The rate and extent of the rotation depends upon the properties of the two metals and the temperature of the helix. An energy-balance analysis is performed to determine the temperature distribution in the helix. By initially restricting the analysis, a simplified equation governing the response of the heliotrope is obtained. In order to gain insight into the response of the heliotrope, a series of experiments were performed. The results of these tests and the implications are presented.
Fluid from a reservior at constant pressure and temperature is forced through a porous wall of uniform thickness. The boundary through which the fluid exits has specified variations in pressure and temperature along it in one direction so that the flow and heat transfer are two-dimensional. The local fluid and matrix temperatures are assumed to be equal and therefore a single energy equation governs the temperature distribution within the wall. The solution is obtained by transforming this energy equation into potential plane coordinates, which results in a separable equation. A technique yielding an integral equation is used to adapt the general solution so that it satisfies the variable-pressure boundary condition. Analytical expressions are given for the normal exit velocity and heat flux along the exit boundary. Illustrative examples are carried out which indicate to what extent the solution is locally one-dimensional.
