\r\n\t2) Human sexual disorders in males and females.
\r\n\t3) Psychological aspects of the human sexual response cycle and its disorders.
\r\n\t4) The therapeutic aspects.
\r\n\tThe human sexual response cycle and human sexual behavior are interrelated. How this inter-relationship and its association to normal sexual health need to be delineated. In a world torn between sex and sexually transmitted disease, clear-cut scientific information in the form of a monograph is required to educate.
\r\n\r\n\tHuman sexuality, gender identity, and sexuo-erotic orientation play great roles in human health and disease. Sex education is the need of the hour and a reflection will be timely.

Systems",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.96674",slug:"solidification-and-melting-of-phase-change-material-in-cold-thermal-storage-systems",body:'The electric energy consumption in a country like Saudi Arabia reaches its peak during summer time. Most of this consumption goes to air conditioning, i.e. 75% to 90% of total electric energy production by the Saudi Electrical Companies during summer season are consumed for cooling. This put an excessive load on the electricity suppliers during summer time, at which a peak load exists as shown in Figure 1. The peak load or Peak demand are terms used in energy demand management describing a period in which electrical power is expected to be provided for a sustained period at a significantly higher than average supply level.
Load distribution during the day (load leveling of electricity), [
Peak load occurs usually during the day in hot countries. Most of the energy was consumed by the air conditioning for residential and commercial buildings. Load management initiatives are usually investigated by the electric companies to smooth the system load curve (Load leveling of electricity) (Figure 1). Many methods are suggested to handle this problem, such as utilizing renewable energy, unfixed Tarriff, use of the electrical link, and finally utilizing of energy storage systems.
Cold thermal storages were built successfully in several projects in Saudi Arabia such as, Al Mamlaka Tower in Riyadh, King Khalid Training Center in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz University Campus in Jeddah.
Unique solution to manage the peak load, that can save energy and will not cost so much is the storing of energy. The different forms of energy that can be stored include mechanical, electrical and thermal energy. Note that the Energy storage is not only reduces the mismatch between supply and demand but also improves the performance and reliability of energy systems and plays an important role in conserving the energy. Thermal energy can be stored during the un- peak period, usually at night, and re-use it during the peak load.
TES technology can reduce the generating and operating costs of cooling plant equipment. By utilizing TES, new generating plants can be eliminated. Moreover, some electric companies initiated different Tariff rate to reduce the use of electricity during the peak demands and force big consumers to store energy in the off-peak time by utilizing TES. In applications where peak loads occur only for a limited period during a year, such as worshipping places, which are used only for couple of hours during the day or the weak, TES systems can also be used, so that it can be to store the full need of cooling energy with reduced size equipment.
Thermal energy storage can be stored as a change in internal energy of a material as sensible heat, latent heat and thermochemical or combination of these. Cold storage technology has improved significantly since 1980 when electric utility companies recognized the need to reduce the peak demand on their generation and distribution systems. Chilled water, ice, or eutectic phase change materials are the cold storage media.
Cold thermal storage systems which are classified into thermal or chemical. The thermal CTS is classified into Sensible or latent heat storage system as shown in Figure 2.
Thermal energy storage types.
Among all types of liquid water is selected to be the thermal storage medium, since it has the highest specific heat of all common materials (4.18 kJ/kg.°C). Chilled water with temperature 5 °C -7 °C can be generated by conventional chiller unites. The chilled water is then can be stored in an isolated concrete or stainless-steel tank for later use to meet the cooing needs, Figure 3. In general, in order to store 1 kWh of energy, a volume of approximately 0.1 m3 is required. The chilled water can be pumped to the air handling unite (AHU) from the bottom of the tank and at the same time is substitute from the top by the return warm water from the AHU. Stable layers of water can be achieved due to variation of densities according on the temperature. This type of CTS is cost effective when the space is available. The chilled water tank by itself has other uses such as a back up water reservoir or for emergency fire extinguisher.
Chilled water storage systems.
The quantity of stored heat in the storage tank can be calculated by
Where m is the mass of the chilled water,
When the materials go for a phase change from solid to liquid, liquid to gas or vice versa, it can store or release huge amount of heat which is latent heat. Latent heat storage (LHS) is getting more attractive because of the huge amount of energy that can be stored with small space which is usually one fourth less than the chilled water storage system. Figure 4 shows the latent heat storage mechanism for solid liquid phase change.
Latent heat storage mechanism for solid –liquid.
Figure 5 shows a thermal storage system that utilizes ice. The size of the storage tank depends on the total volume of the melted liquid.
Thermal storage system that utilizes ice, the size of the storage tank depends on the total volume of the melted liquid.
Ice accumulation on finned tube, [
On the other hand, the ice storage system has COP of 2.5–4.1 which is less than that of chilled water storage system of 5–5.9 COP. So that the ice storage system economic benefit is beneficial for less Tarif at the off-peak time.
The storage capacity of the LHS system with a PCM medium is given by
Or:
The specific volumetric storage capacity of ice stores is 40–53 kWh m3 [2].
Ice storage systems allow for innovative HVAC system design such as cold air distribution systems which have lower initial costs compared to conventional distribution systems. Ice storage systems include: Ice harvesters, Internal melt ice-on-coil storage systems, External melt ice-on-coil storage systems and Containerized ice storage systems. More details on each one of them can be found in Moncif Karaci “Energy Audit of Building System: An Engineering Approach”.
By a reversible chemical reaction, the energy can be absorbed or released for a thermochemical system. The stored thermochemical heat relies on the amount of storage material, the endothermic heat of reaction, and the extent of conversion.
Salt and oil are two types of eutectic material. A eutectic salt can change its phase from liquid to solid at a specific temperature. These phases may have different crystal structures, or the same crystal structure with different lattice parameters. The phase change material such as Eutectic salts can have a freezing point of 8.5 °C which means less consumption of energy than ice. The PCM used in Eutectic system has less capacity than ice storage system but higher capacity than chilled water system. The eutectic system is more expensive and complex than chilled water systems and has warmest discharge temperatures (near 10 °C). More details of PCM materials can be found with [3].
Phase change materials (PCM) are “Latent” heat storage materials. Unlike conventional (sensible) storage materials, PCM absorbs and release heat at a nearly constant temperature. They store 5–14 times more heat per unit volume than sensible storage materials such as water, masonry, or rock. PCM can be classified as organic, inorganic or eutectic which can be available in any required temperature range. The inorganic materials have almost double volumetric latent heat storage capacity (250–400 kg/dm3) than the organic materials (128–200 kg/dm3).
Organic materials are further described as paraffin and non-paraffins. Organic materials include congruent melting means melt and freeze repeatedly without phase segregation and consequent degradation of their latent heat of fusion, self-nucleation means they crystallize with little or no supercooling and usually non-corrosiveness. Inorganic materials are further classified as salt hydrate and metallics. These phase change materials do not supercool appreciably and their heats of fusion do not degrade with cycling.
The melting point of Paraffin varies between 5.5 °C and up to 75.9 °C, [4]. The latent heat of fusion varies from 170 kJ/kg and up to 269 kJ/kg. For the non-paraffin, the melting points also varies from 7.9 °C to 127.2 °C. They have heat of fusion ranging from 93 kJ/kg to 259 kJ/kg. The non-paraffin materials will have its own properties unlike the paraffin’s, which have very similar properties. For the in-organic materials has a melting point varies from 16.7 to 102 and heat of fusion ranges from 146 to 242 kJ/kg. The high melting point allows les energy needed for those PCM to change state. The relatively high heat of fusion is another factor can affect the selection of such materials. Table 1 shows the properties need to be considered in PCM. More details about the recommended PCM can be found in [4, 5, 6].

Summary of the works that have been done by several researchers to study the freezing phenomena as well as melting.
Falling film can be either on vertical flat plate or horizontal tubes to maximize the heat transfer coefficient. Three main modes were shown when the liquid drop from any tube. It can take a shape of droplet, jet or sheet depending on the flow rate as shown in Figure 7. Combined modes usually took place. By increasing the flow rate, the mode changes to droplet-jet, jet, jet- sheet and finally sheet mode. Multi-modes can be appeared at the same time for the same flow rate, depending on the number of tubes aligned vertically. More secription of the flow pattern for the falling film can be found in [24, 25, 26, 27]. For the purpose of freezing for the CTS, several articles talked about the possibility of utilizing the advantages of high heat transfer coefficient to be used for freezing.
Idealized innertubes falling film modes: (a) sheet mode, (b) mixed of sheet and jet, (c) jet mode, (d) droplet-jet mode, (e) droplet mode, (f) sheet mode [
For the maximum falling film flow, the sheet mode took place. This mode is shown clearly in the upper two test tubes, the rest shows sheet-jet mode. Some of the falling film splashed from the down tubes. By reducing the flow rate, jet mode is achieved and it is observed clearly on the upper tubes and the rest is a jet-droplet mode. A small amount of the falling film splashed from the down tubes. With further decrease in the flow rate, a steady droplet mode all over the test tubes was noticed with no splash from the tubes.
The formation of ice begins usually where the inlet coolant exists due to the lowest temperature there. The regularity of ice depends on the types of stream that moves on the tubes. It is obvious that the formation of ice increases with time. However, the ice formation reduces heat transfer due to an increase in the insulation of ice (increased thickness of ice causes an increase in thermal resistance and consequently reduction of heat transfer through ice layer). It has been observed that as the ice accumulates on the test tubes, it takes longer time to remove it from the test tubes by the discharge cycle and relatively large quantity of ice is melted.
Ice accumulates circumferentially on the tube surfaces until the tube spacing is filled with ice which makes it harder in discharging process (Figure 8).
Ice photo on the formed ice on the tube at time of (a) 50, (b) 198 minutes.
Heat transfer assessment on tubes bundle is based on detecting of temperature change, temperature of the liquid flowing through the tube bundle and temperature of outside liquid with simultaneous measuring of the current flow of liquids. This way, the real value of the heat transfer is determined at the tube bundle working under the set conditions. And subsequently, the corresponding heat transfer coefficient can be determined. Series arrangement has the advantage of high flow rate inside the tube and consequently high Reynolds number and high inside heat transfer coefficient. However, it difficult to be designed and maintain. In contrast, parallel arrangement is more convenient for industry, but reduces the inside heat transfer coefficient due to the inside flow is divided in to the all tubes and hence reducing the Reynolds number and so the inside heat transfer coefficient.
For the CTS, the heat transferred from the outside liquid to the entire coolant. The amount of heat transferred is determined from the temperature difference and the corresponding fluid flow rate. When solidification is taken place, the outside liquid loss sensible heat to reach the freezing point and then latent heat, to form ice. The rest of the outside liquid cools down while it is contacting the outside of the cold tubes.
The heat transfers from the outside liquid to the inside coolant via ice layer and the tube wall as shown in Figure 9. The thermal conductivity of the tube wall is usually very high comparing to the ice layer, so the tube resistance is usually ignored.
Thermal resistance for ice accumulates on the tubes [
The effect of ice accumulation with time on the rate of freezing.
The rate of heat transfer from the outside fluid to the coolant inside the tube can be calculated as:
For thermal resistance shown in Fig., then
The inside heat transfer coefficient is given by:
In order to get
For constant surface temperature condition, and laminar flow, Re ≤ 2300, Nusselt number is given by many researchers. One is given by Incropera, F.P. et al., as:
Where this equation can be applied for the following condition:
0.48 < Pr < 16,700.
0.0044
And for turbulent flow, where Re ≥ 10,000, Nusselt number can be calculated by
Where the ranges are.
0.7 ≤ Pr ≤ 160.
All properties except

For low Re, (droplet mode):
The liquid properties were evaluated at film temperature
Where.
Eq. 4 estimate the instantaneous heat transfer ac certain time for specific ice radius. For the whole experiment run for specific time, we need to get the total heat absorbed from the outside fluid. The outside fluid is either at stationary state or moving across the tube. For the first case if the outside liquid at constant condition
Where
For the second case where the outside fluid is moving across the tubes, the sensible transfer heat rate is calculated by
Where
Part of the outside liquid freezes on the outside tube. The freezing consumes latent heat which can be calculated as:
Where L is the latent heat of fusion for the PCM.
The formed ice is now cooled to a temperature below the freezing temperature which is consider as sensible heat and is given by
Hence the total heat transfer through the ice layer can be computed as:
The total heat transfer absorbed by the coolant can be given by:
where the coolant flow rate

Ice freezing quantity is affected by the outside flow rate (mode of the falling film) and its temperature, as well as by coolant flow rate and coolant temperature (Table 3).
Parameter | Effect |
---|---|
Effect of time on accumulated mass of ice, Figure 10 | Ice formation distinctly increases with time. As ice thickness increases, its thermal resistance increases and its heat transfer decreases. Because ice has a low thermal conductivity, it acts as an insulator for the heat transfer. |

Effects of different parameters on the performance of cold thermal storage.
In the beginning of the freezing process high heat transfer coefficient was shown which reaches to 1000 W/m2.K, which shows the influence of the failing film. However, by the further accumulation of ice, the heat transfer coefficient drops as of the effect of low thermal conductivity of ice. To get the best advantages of the falling film an optimum design must be applied to have quick charging and discharging operations so, more ice can be formed in short time and then collect it at the bottom of the reservoir. The falling film quantity must be adequate and the flow rate must handle the drag force of the tubes.
While the falling film falls over the tubes vertically, some quantity leaves the falling film stream and falls outside the stream and drops to the bottom of the reservoir without further collision with the rest of the tubes. This phenomenon is called “backsplash”. The result is shown in Figure 17 was created by Jiri Pospisil, et al. The backsplash increases with increasing of tube spacing and can reach up to 70% of the total flow falls over the test section for tube spacing of 35 mm. The backsplash also increases with increasing of the falling film flow rate but with only small percentage.
Comparison of the formed ice for different coolant flow rate.
In CTS systems the ice can be stored either on the tubes or in the isolated reservoir. For the ice on the tube system, the discharge system can be either inside the tube or outside the tubes. For the collected ice in an isolated reservoir, the ice must first be released from the tubes and then passing the warm water through the accumulated ice. Table 4 provide previous effort for the discharging system to achieve the maximum capacity out of the CTS system.
The absorbed heat required to release ice consists of the following heats: sensible heat of sub-cooled ice, latent heat of melted ice and sensible heat of melted water. Thus, the experimental ice melting be expressed as

Fluids properties.
The discharge cycle can melt the ice from inside to outside or from outside to inside depending on the flow of the warm brine that flow to the chiller. For the first case, the ice begins to melt from the inner surface of the formed ice toward the outer surface forming liquid between the tube surface and the ice layer. The ice layer is then decreases to the point that, it falls and collected at the bottom of the reservoir. Figure 18 displays a schematic diagram for ice formation and releasing. For the second case where the warm water falls on the outside of the ice layers, the ice layer has more time to tick to the tube. In charging cycle, it is mandatory not allowing the ice layer between tubes to stick together, otherwise it will take much more time to get released.
Effect of variation of cooling temperature on freezing, [
During discharge process, some ice is melted and others falls to the bottom of the reservoir. Figure 19 shows the percentage of the released solid ice for various average ice thicknesses for an experiment done by [40]. The temperature of the internal solution (the brine) is also affected the melting process as shown in the Figure which shows a small effect on the percentage of ice releasing. Koller et al. [2] studied charging and discharging for CTS and found that the discharging is about 70% benefit of the charging system as shown in Figure 20.

Overview of electric power research institute (EPRI) energy storage valuation methodology.
Grooved tubes can be used which increases the heat transfer surface area and hence enhancing the heat transfer coefficient. The grove can also create a thin film which enhance the heat transfer as mention by [41]. Utilizing such techniques can reaches a heat flux of 1.400 MW/m2 as shown in Figure 23.
The cheat transfer can be enhanced on the cold tube by having extended surface. This will help not only in enhancing the heat transfer, but in also discharging the ice out of the tube, in cases when requires many on and off cycles to collect ice.
PCMs have features of higher melting points than ice and reasonable latent heat of fusion which allow them to require less energy during charging cycle. The economic wise play an important role in utilizing such materials in PCMs
Thermo-economic optimization of an CTS system should be carried out, which considers the environmental aspects, and cost effective. The cost includes the capital and operational costs as well as the penalty cost due to CO2 emission. The pay back periods will be a major influence to convince investors to utilize the CTS. Electric Power Research Institute in USA have put a methodology for energy storage Valuation, shown in Figure 24. The methodology consists of four steps. It starts by defining the expected direct benefits of the CTS and the technical requirements. It then required to simulate the unite cold effectiveness. It then need to define the indirect impact such as the environmental impact. The last step is to study the business issue, whether can this utilization of CTS convert into a cash or not. Lot of works were conducted for the feasibility study of utilizing the CTSs like [1, 42].
The rate of the ice formation depends on inlet and outlet flow rate.
The heat transfer coefficient is affected negatively by accumulation of ice on the tubes.
The tube arrangement has a large effect on ice formation and needs to be considered.
Falling film phenomenon can benefit the charging and discharging process and need to be optimized.
The heating solution temperatures have a small effect on the gained ice and releasing time.
The heat transfer coefficient is affected by the direct contact area between the ice sleeves and the heated tubes.
Cost effivenss should be conducted to study the feasibility of adopting the CTSs.
This chapter helps in the analyzing and constructing of cold thermal storage systems, which are necessary for energy saving today.

The recent advances in remote-sensing imaging acquisition and availability of images can help geoscientists to explore and prepare maps quickly and evaluate the geo-potential of any specific area on the globe. Advances in remote-sensing data analysis techniques have improved the capacity to map the geological structures and regional characteristics and can serve in mineral exploration in complex and poorly understood regions. In this chapter, geophysical remotely sensed data (airborne geophysics) are integrated with other sources of remotely sensed data to analyze three separate areas, one each for geological structure, lineament presence and orientation, and geothermal potential. Three case studies are discussed in this chapter from three countries—Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates, and Algeria—to show the effectiveness of remote sensing in mapping and detecting geo-structural, geomorphological, and geothermal characteristics of ground surfaces.",book:{id:"6058",slug:"recent-advances-and-applications-in-remote-sensing",title:"Recent Advances and Applications in Remote Sensing",fullTitle:"Recent Advances and Applications in Remote Sensing"},signatures:"Hakim Saibi, Mohand Bersi, Mohamed Bodruddoza Mia, Nureddin\nMohamed Saadi, Khalid Mohamed Saleh Al Bloushi and Robert W.\nAvakian",authors:[{id:"155975",title:"Dr.",name:"Hakim",middleName:null,surname:"Saibi",slug:"hakim-saibi",fullName:"Hakim Saibi"},{id:"205896",title:"Dr.",name:"Nouredine",middleName:null,surname:"Saadi",slug:"nouredine-saadi",fullName:"Nouredine Saadi"},{id:"205897",title:"Dr.",name:"Mohand",middleName:null,surname:"Bersi",slug:"mohand-bersi",fullName:"Mohand Bersi"},{id:"217413",title:"Dr.",name:"M.

The search for this knowledge grows in importance as rapid increases in population and economic development intensify humans’ stresses on ecosystems. Fortunately, rapid increases in multiple scientific areas are advancing our understanding of environmental sciences. Breakthroughs in computing, molecular biology, ecology, and sustainability science are enhancing our ability to utilize environmental sciences to address real-world problems.
\r\n\tThe four topics of this book series - Pollution; Environmental Resilience and Management; Ecosystems and Biodiversity; and Water Science - will address important areas of advancement in the environmental sciences. They will represent an excellent initial grouping of published works on these critical topics.
