    Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos : a symbol of Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian friendship

    No full text
    Two Serbian texts extol the contribution of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos to the Balkan joint effort to throw off the Ottoman yoke. These texts are analysed by the author within the historical framework of their period, so that the man’s personality and work may be accurately evaluated from a fresh viewpoint. More specifically, the author conducts a research on the tombstone of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos, which he discovered himself at Naoussa, and the octet engraved on it, which is also published here. The work is illustrated by seven plates, of which four have not been published previously

    The Exemplary Life of Dimitrios Vikelas (1835-1908)

    No full text
    This paper describes the "satisfying curve" of Dimitrios Vikelas' life journey, starting from Syros in 1835, moving via Constantinople, Odessa, and Syros again, to London, Paris and finally Athens. It explores Vikelas' multiple aspects, as merchant, writer, traveller, lecturer and essayist, Olympic founder, educationalist, book collector and philanthropist, all of which were united in the public-spirited man of letters (logios). It sets Vikelas in the context of the Greek commercial diaspora, the world of the London expatriate Greek community, and the dynamic society of late nineteenth-century Athens, beginning in the 1870s to act as a magnet to Greek expatriates. The author stresses two qualities of Vikelas: his belief in the idea of a progressive Greek state marked by advances in education, culture, tourism and standards of public life; and the self-awareness and experience which inform his autobiographical writings, not only his memoir My Life but also his last such work, The War of 1897

    CHARM-F – The Airborne CH4 and CO2 IPDA Lidar: Status and Outlook

    No full text
    CHARM-F (CO2 and CH4 Atmospheric Remote Monitoring - Flugzeug) is DLR’s new airborne Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) lidar for simultaneous measurements of the column- weighted average dry-air mixing ratios of atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane. It is designed to be flown on board DLR’s new High-Altitude, LOng-range research aircraft, HALO. Besides water vapor, CO2 and methane are the most important greenhouse gases of the Earth’s atmosphere. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on sources, sinks and the underlying processes of these major GHGs. One purpose of CHARM-F is to experimentally investigate the feasibility of the IPDA lidar technique to provide a precise method for remote sensing of these two atmospheric trace gases. Furthermore, the system can serve as an airborne demonstrator for future spaceborne applications of this technical approach. In this context, the generation of real-world data can support the development of retrieval algorithms considerably. Not least, operated on HALO it is a powerful tool to investigate scientific topics on CO2 and CH4. All precursor experiments and the design phase of the instrument are completed. At the moment the system is being set up. First tests are planned for fall 2012

    No full text
    We present an aerosol classification based on high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) measurements. Intensive aerosol properties measured with the HSRL system are used to differentiate between different aerosol types, characterized by coordinated HSRL and in-situ measurements. Backward trajectories are used to identify possible source regions of the different aerosol types

    Εναλλάκτες θερμότηταςΠερίληψη: Η διπλωματική εργασία εστιάζει στη σύγκριση της θερμικής απόδοσης και της πτώσης πίεσης μεταξύ ενός εναλλάκτη θερμότητας με αυλακώσεις και ενός λείου εναλλάκτη, χρησιμοποιώντας ως βασικές παραμέτρους τον αριθμό Nusselt και την πτώση πίεσης. Οι αυλακώσεις θεωρείται ότι ενισχύουν τη μεταφορά θερμότητας, αυξάνοντας την ανάμειξη του ρευστού και προκαλώντας τυρβώδεις ροές, οι οποίες βελτιώνουν την αποτελεσματικότητα της θερμικής συναγωγής. Ωστόσο, αυτή η ενίσχυση της μεταφοράς θερμότητας συνοδεύεται συνήθως από μεγαλύτερη πτώση πίεσης, κάτι που μπορεί να επηρεάσει την ενεργειακή απόδοση του συστήματος. Η μελέτη πραγματοποιείται με τη χρήση υπολογιστικής ρευστοδυναμικής (CFD) μέσω του λογισμικού Ansys, το οποίο επιτρέπει την προσομοίωση των ροών ρευστών και της μεταφοράς θερμότητας σε σύνθετες γεωμετρίες. Στην ανάλυση αυτή, εξετάζεται πώς η γεωμετρία των αυλακώσεων επηρεάζει την κατανομή της θερμοκρασίας, την ταχύτητα ροής και την πίεση στο εσωτερικό των εναλλακτών. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι, ενώ οι εναλλάκτες με αυλακώσεις προσφέρουν καλύτερη θερμική απόδοση, αυτό επιτυγχάνεται με το κόστος της υψηλότερης πτώσης πίεσης, γεγονός που μπορεί να απαιτεί μεγαλύτερη ενεργειακή κατανάλωση για την κίνηση του ρευστού. Τελικός στόχος της εργασίας είναι να προσδιοριστεί ποιος τύπος εναλλάκτη είναι πιο αποδοτικός σε διαφορετικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας, ώστε να ενσωματωθούν βελτιστοποιημένα συστήματα μεταφοράς θερμότητας σε βιομηχανικές και ενεργειακές εφαρμογές, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την ισορροπία μεταξύ αποδοτικότητας και ενεργειακού κόστους.Summarization: The thesis focuses on comparing the thermal performance and pressure drop between a grooved heat exchanger and a smooth one, using the Nusselt number and pressure drop as key parameters. Grooves are believed to enhance heat transfer by increasing fluid mixing and creating turbulent flows, which improve the efficiency of thermal convection. However, this enhancement in heat transfer is typically accompanied by a higher pressure drop, which can impact the overall energy efficiency of the system. The study is conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) via the Ansys software, allowing for the simulation of fluid flows and heat transfer in complex geometries. The analysis examines how the grooved geometry affects the distribution of temperature, flow velocity, and pressure within the heat exchangers. The results indicate that while grooved heat exchangers provide better thermal performance, this comes at the cost of increased pressure drop, which may require more energy to maintain fluid flow. The ultimate goal of the thesis is to determine which type of heat exchanger is more efficient under different operating conditions, providing insights for the optimization of heat transfer systems in industrial and energy applications. The balance between thermal efficiency and energy consumption is a critical factor in determining the best design for various practical uses
