This is written in hopes of clarifying any questions that may occur in viewing the presentation. Slide 6: The evaporative cooling term used was a simplified assumption of how the term physically works. In reality it is a complex term with many variables including wind velocity outside of hive, vapor pressures, relative humidity, amount of free water in the hive, as well as others. Slide 8: At a higher relative humidity the evaporative cooling term has a smaller effect due to the air being more saturated with water and thus the air does not "take in" more water easily. Slide 9: For this project an "efficiency based" process was assumed. This means that at higher temperatures the bees that flap are more efficient than the ones that flap at lower temperatures. This is in contrast to the "additive based" process, five equal patrilines that add to each other at higher temperatures, where all bees would be flapping say at 330 K, with the setpoint of 308. Slide 11: 1) The paramaters found in literature were not eentirely accurate. The results show the likely results but, for instance, it is hard to correctly ascertain the overall heat transfer coefficent for cellulose or to find a value for heat transfer through the hive when at any given point there are different amounts of bees, brood, eggs, nectar, etc. present. 2) Dead-band control was taken out and needs to be put back in. This shouldn't be too hard to manipulate in the M-File. 3) As stated earlier about the evaporative cooling term. 4) We might like to at some point add in a radiative heating term and include a "water in hive" effect, since the bees will collect free water to bring into the hive to aid in evaporative cooling.
