Modeling Yin-Yang Balance in Tai-Chi Diagram with a Melting-Freezing Rotating Device
摘要
Abstract
This paper develops a physical model describing the Yin-Yang balance in the tai-chi diagrain via the melting and freezing processes taking place in a rotating device. First, a physical model is established for a melting and freezing rotating device applied for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink. The device consists of two concentric cylinders with a phase change material being filled between them. During the melting process, heat is supplied from the heat source to the device, and the phase change material in the device melts. The melting process is equivalent to yang in the tai-chi diagram. During the freezing process, heat is discharged from the device to the heat sink, and the phase change material in the device freezes. The freezing process is equivalent to yin in the tai-chi diagram. The moving phase boundaries of the melting and freezing processes form two curves,representing the interface curves between the yin and yang in the tai-chi diagram. The variation of the thermal strength in the heat source and heat sink represents the variation of the yin -yang balance in the tai-chi diagram.关键词
