10On Similarity Laws of Solar Thermal Technology

Abstract:

Study on solar thermal technology along with its radiation, collection, storage sub-models are full of illuminations in many similar phenomena, so this paper analyzes dimensions in its radiation, collection processes, and founds dimensionless model for these processes, and also figures out their similarity laws, and then extends its radiation, collection theory and technology to fire evolution process, and generalizes fire-protection idea and method: besides directly extinguishing fire by cool water and other constraint agents, we try to collect and transfer fire radiation, as the result, indirectly extinguish fire. This generalization is expected to many brand-new extinguishing fire technologies in the future.
