Immersion cooling is known for high efficiency and excellent temperature uniformity. To address the high energy consumption of secondary cooling loops in vehicles for cooling immersion oil, this paper proposes a method of immersion coupled cooling tubes. Battery heat is directly absorbed by the immersion liquid and rapidly dissipated via cooling water in the S-type cooling tube(SCT). This work investigated the effects of structural parameters, immersion fluid medium, and operating parameters on the cooling performance of the BTMS. The results showed that the fin height(h_(f)) has no significant effect on the cooling performance. Both Transformer Oil and HFE-7100 delivered outstanding thermal management, reaching a maximum of 36.73℃ and 41.39℃ while maintaining narrow temperature differences of only 3.70℃ and 2.09℃ apart, respectively. When the ambient temperature reached 40℃ and HFE-7100 was used as the immersion liquid, the maximum temperature difference remained consistently below 3℃. Subsequently, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the respective influential parameters. It was found that inlet water temperature(T_(in)) and immersion fluids exert the most significant influence on the system performance. Finally, different immersion cooling schemes were compared, which demonstrated the advantages of the system proposed in this study under harsh condition, thereby supporting the application of different schemes under various scenarios. It can be directly integrated with the vehicle-mounted cooling circuit system, thereby reducing energy consumption and weight, and offering new insights for research on thermal management systems for EVs.展开更多

Through this technology, great changes on the run-out table are produced in the strip cooling process. In order to adapt to these changes, a new gen-eration of hot strip cooling control system after rolling was developed based on the UFC basic principle. The system can not only accomplish temperature of UFC delivery side, coiling temperature, cooling rate, etc, and multi-objective accuracy control, but also offer more flexibility and new attractive possibilities in terms of cooling pattern on the run-out table, which could be of prime importance for the production of some difficult steels. In addition, through the time-velocity-distance （TVD） profile prediction combined with speed feed-forward control and coiling temperature feedback control, the coiling temperature control precision can be effectively improved during accelerative rolling in the system. At present, the system has been successfully used in the conventional strip production line and CSP short process production line, and its application effect is perfect.展开更多

文摘The high-alloyed wrought superalloy GH4975 tends to form coarse MC carbides and eutectic(γ+γ′)phases,which adversely affect the cogging and homogenization process.To provide theoretical guidance for control of MC carbides and eutectic(γ+γ′)formation,differential thermal analysis(DTA)was utilized to investigate the effect of cooing rate(10-90℃·min^(-1))on solidification behavior and micro-segregation of GH4975 alloy.According to the thermodynamic calculation and distribution characteristics of precipitates,the MC carbides can act as nucleation sites forγdendrites,but the nucleation ofγdendrites becomes less dependent on the MC carbide primers at higher cooling rates.As theγdendrites grow,the elements including Ti and Nb gradually accumulate in the residual liquid and leads to the formation of more MC carbides near the interdendritic region.Finally,the solidification is terminated with the formation of eutectic(γ+γ′).With an increase in cooling rate,the liquidus temperature rises,but the solidus temperature decreases,and thus the solidification range is obviously enlarged.The dendritic structure is significantly refined by the increase of cooling rate.The secondary dendrite arm spacing,λ_(2),as a function of cooling rate,T,can be expressed asλ_(2)=216.78T^(-0.42).Moreover,the increasing cooling rate weakens the back diffusion of Al,Ti,and Nb,increases the undercooling,and limits the growth of precipitates.Consequently,the sizes of MC carbides,eutectic(γ+γ′),and primaryγ′significantly decrease,but the area fraction of eutectic(γ+γ′)linerly increases as the cooling rate rises.Thus moderate cooling rate(such as 30℃·min^(-1))should be selected during the solidification process of GH4975 alloy.

文摘As an emerging thermal management strategy,dynamic radiative cooling(DRC)technology enables dynamic modulation of spectral radiation properties under varying environmental conditions through the directional design of material spectral characteristics.However,a comprehensive review of the basic physical mechanisms of radiative heat transfer in DRC materials and various design principles involved in dynamic radiative thermal regulation is still lacking.This review systematically summarizes recent advances in this field,spanning from fundamental physical principles to intrinsic molecular and electronic mechanisms,and further to representative material systems and multi-band regulation strategies,highlighting the interdisciplinary research achievements and technological innovations.This work outlines the core mechanisms governing the regulation of different spectral bands during radiative heat transfer processes.Then,the main categories of DRC materials are systematically reviewed,including actively responsive structures,passively responsive structures,and multi-stimuli-responsive materials.Furthermore,the challenges faced by current DRC technology and future development trends are summarized and discussed,providing valuable reference and guidance for further research in this field.Although DRC technologies still face significant challenges in material stability,manufacturing processes,and system integration,the continuous advances in related areas and multifunctional materials are expected to broaden the application prospects of DRC in the future.

文摘This study aims to mitigate crosswind-induced performance degradation in Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers used in power plants by developing and assessing windbreak configurations that enhance ventilation while minimizing additional airflow resistance.Three novel windbreak designs,namely single-windbreak configuration with curved profile,double-windbreak configuration with curved profile,and double-windbreak configuration with inverted curved profile,are proposed accordingly and evaluated against conventional solutions.Three-dimensional numerical models of a 120 m high NDDCT equipped with these windbreaks,together with a conventional Y-shaped windbreak,are developed for systematic comparison.The results demonstrate that windbreak effectiveness strongly depends on crosswind intensity.At low crosswind speeds of 0-6 m/s,the Y-shaped windbreak provides the greatest enhancement,increasing the ventilation rate by 25.45%and the heat rejection rate by 21.37%at 6 m/s compared with the no-windbreak configuration.In contrast,under moderate to strong crosswinds of 6-18 m/s,the single-windbreak configuration with curved profile exhibits superior performance.At 18 m/s,it increases the ventilation rate by 148.88%and the heat rejection rate by 79.74%relative to the baseline case,outperforming the Y-shaped windbreak by 26.59%in ventilation rate and 17.01%in heat rejection capacity.Analysis of airflow structure,temperature fields,and velocity distributions confirms that the single-windbreak configuration with curved profile more effectively suppresses crosswind penetration and promotes stable upward airflow at higher wind speeds.Based on a comprehensive assessment of aerodynamic and thermal performance,the Y-shaped windbreak is recommended for regions where crosswind speeds remain below 6 m/s,whereas the single-windbreak configuration with curved profile is preferable for sites exposed to stronger crosswinds exceeding this threshold.

文摘This work examines the microstructure and corrosion properties of fine-grained Al 7075 across different regions under varying cooling conditions during friction stir welding.The findings demonstrate that forced cooling significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the welded joints.Specifically,the corrosion resistance was the highest in the stir zone,followed by the thermo-mechanical affected zone,and then the heat affected zone.Forced cooling mitigates grain growth by controlling the welding thermal effects,thereby increasing the proportion ofΣ3 grain boundaries.The modification of these microstructural characteristics promotes the formation of a dense oxide layer,thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance.Furthermore,forced cooling mitigates the precipitation and coarsening of the anodic phase in the stir zone,which in turn reduces the susceptibility of the joint to pitting corrosion.Additionally,the lower recrystallization texture content in the joint,resulting from forced cooling,contributes to a reduction in the number of corrosion-active sites,thereby further improving the corrosion performance of the welded joint.

文摘Hygroscopic hydrogel is a promising evaporativecooling material for high-power passive daytime cooling with water self-regeneration.However,undesired solar and environmental heating makes it a challenge to maintain sub-ambient daytime cooling.While different strategies have been developed to mitigate heat gains,they inevitably sacrifice the evaporation and water regeneration due to highly coupled thermal and vapor transport.Here,an anisotropic synergistically performed insulation-radiation-evaporation(ASPIRE)cooler is developed by leveraging a dual-alignment structure both internal and external to the hydrogel for coordinated thermal and water transport.The ASPIRE cooler achieves an impressive average sub-ambient cooling temperature of~8.2℃ and a remarkable peak cooling power of 311 W m^(-2)under direct sunlight.Further examining the cooling mechanism reveals that the ASPIRE cooler reduces the solar and environmental heat gains without comprising the evaporation.Moreover,self-sustained multi-day cooling is possible with water self-regeneration at night under both clear and cloudy days.The synergistic design provides new insights toward high-power,sustainable,and all-weather passive cooling applications.

文摘Radiative cooling is an environmentally friendly,passive cooling technology that operates without energy consumption.Current research primarily focuses on optimizing the optical properties of radiative cooling films to enhance their cooling performance.In practical applications,thermal contact between the radiative cooling film and the object significantly influences the ultimate cooling performance.However,achieving optimal thermal contact has received limited attention.In this study,we propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-power,flexible,and magnetically attachable and detachable radiative cooling film.This film consists of polymer metasurface structures on a flexible magnetic layer.The monolithic design allows for convenient attachment to and detachment from steel or iron surfaces,ensuring optimal thermal contact with minimal thermal resistance and uniform temperature distribution.Our magnetic radiative cooling film exhibits superior cooling performance compared to non-magnetic alternatives.It can reduce the temperature of stainless-steel plates under sunlight by 15.2℃,which is 3.6℃ more than that achieved by non-magnetic radiative cooling films.The radiative cooling power can reach 259W·m^(-2) at a working temperature of 70℃.Unlike other commonly used attachment methods,such as thermal grease or one-off tape,our approach allows for detachment and reusability of the cooling film according to practical needs.This method offers great simplicity,flexibility,and cost-effectiveness,making it promising for broad applications,particularly on non-horizontal irregular surfaces previously considered challenging.

文摘Passive daytime radiative cooling has great potential for energy conservation and sustainable development.Polymer-based radiative cooling materials have received much attention due to their excellent cooling performance and scalable potential.However,the use of large amounts of organic solvents,the long cycle time,and the complexity of the preparation process have limited their development.Herein,we report a two-step cold-press sintering method for the preparation of a polymer radiative cooler,which is free of organic solvents.For demonstration,a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer(PVDF-HFP)coating with a solar reflectance of 97.4%and an emissivity of 0.969 within the atmospheric window is prepared,which can achieve a sub-ambient cooling phenomenon with a temperature reduction of 4.8℃.Besides,the maximal radiative cooling power of 50.2 W/m^(2)is also obtained under sunlight.After the implementation of the proposed sintered PVDF-HFP coating in buildings,more than 10%of annual energy consumption can be saved in China.This work proposes a simple,environmentally friendly,and scalable processing method for the preparation of radiative cooling materials,facilitating the large-scale application of radiative cooling technology.

文摘Double-wall effusion cooling coupled with thermal barrier coating(TBC)is an important way of thermal protection for gas turbine vanes and blades of next-generation aero-engine,and formation of discrete crater holes by TBC spraying is an approved design.To protect both metal and TBC synchronously,a recommended geometry of crater is obtained through a fully automatic multi-objective optimization combined with conjugate heat transfer simulation in this work.The length and width of crater(i.e.,L/D and W/D)were applied as design variables,and the area-averaged overall effectiveness of the metal and TBC surfaces(i.e.,Φ_(av) and τ_(av))were selected as objective functions.The optimization procedure consists of automated geometry and mesh generation,conjugate heat transfer simulation validated by experimental data and Kriging surrogated model.The results showed that the Φ_(av) and τ_(av) are successfully increased respectively by 9.1%and 6.0%through optimization.Appropriate enlargement of the width and length of the crater can significantly improve the film coverage effect,since that the beneficial anti-CRVP is enhanced and the harmful CRVP is weakened.

文摘Ultra-fast cooling （UFC） is an advanced technology in hot rolling field. Through this technology, great changes on the run-out table are produced in the strip cooling process. In order to adapt to these changes, a new gen-eration of hot strip cooling control system after rolling was developed based on the UFC basic principle. The system can not only accomplish temperature of UFC delivery side, coiling temperature, cooling rate, etc, and multi-objective accuracy control, but also offer more flexibility and new attractive possibilities in terms of cooling pattern on the run-out table, which could be of prime importance for the production of some difficult steels. In addition, through the time-velocity-distance （TVD） profile prediction combined with speed feed-forward control and coiling temperature feedback control, the coiling temperature control precision can be effectively improved during accelerative rolling in the system. At present, the system has been successfully used in the conventional strip production line and CSP short process production line, and its application effect is perfect.

文摘Friction rolling additive manufacturing(FRAM)is a solid-state additive manufacturing technology that plasticizes the feed and deposits a material using frictional heat generated by the tool head.The thermal efficiency of FRAM,which depends only on friction to generate heat,is low,and the thermal-accumulation effect of the deposition process must be addressed.An FRAM heat-balance-control method that combines plasma-arc preheating and instant water cooling(PC-FRAM)is devised in this study,and a temperature field featuring rapidly increasing and decreasing temperature is constructed around the tool head.Additionally,2195-T87 Al-Li alloy is used as the feed material,and the effects of heating and cooling rates on the microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated.The results show that water cooling significantly improves heat accumulation during the deposition process.The cooling rate increases by 11.7 times,and the high-temperature residence time decreases by more than 50%.The grain size of the PC-FRAM sample is the smallest,i.e.,3.77±1.03μm,its dislocation density is the highest,and the number density of precipitates is the highest,the size of precipitates is the smallest,which shows the best precipitation-strengthening effect.The hardness test results are consistent with the precipitation distribution.The ultimate tensile strength,yield strength and elongation of the PC-FRAM samples are the highest(351±15.6 MPa,251.3±15.8 MPa and 16.25%±1.25%,respectively)among the samples investigated.The preheating and water-cooling-assisted deposition simultaneously increases the tensile strength and elongation of the deposited samples.The combination of preheating and instant cooling improves the deposition efficiency of FRAM and weakens the thermal-softening effect.
文摘This paper presents a high-fidelity lumpedparameter(LP)thermal model(HF-LPTM)for permanent magnet synchronous machines(PMSMs)in electric vehicle(EV)applications,where various cooling techniques are considered,including frame forced air/liquid cooling,oil jet cooling for endwinding,and rotor shaft cooling.To address the temperature misestimation in the LP thermal modelling due to assumptions of concentrated loss input and uniform heat flows,the developed HF-LPTM introduces two compensation thermal resistances for the winding and PM components,which are analytically derived from the multi-dimensional heat transfer equations and are robust against different load/thermal conditions.As validated by the finite element analysis method and experiments,the conventional LPTMs exhibit significant winding temperature deviations,while the proposed HF-LPTM can accurately predict both the midpoint and average temperatures.The developed HFLPTM is further used to assess the effectiveness of various cooling techniques under different scenarios,i.e.,steady-state thermal states under the rated load condition,and transient temperature profiles under city,freeway,and hybrid(city+freeway)driving cycles.Results indicate that no single cooling technique can maintain both winding and PM temperatures within safety limits.The combination of frame liquid cooling and oil jet cooling for end winding can sufficiently mitigate PMSM thermal stress in EV applications.
