In various works transition from one interaction mode to another was related to the value of a critical current, a pressure range etc. A criterion related to a thermal state of the cathode has greater generality, since it essentially varies with the arc-cathode contacts. First of all it relates to emission cooling relationship with the other components of the cathode heat flux. It is established that in the contracted sport the emission cooling exceeds the radiation one by a factor of 50 to 100. For a diffuse contact the emission and radiation components of the cathode heat loss become comparable. A cathode thermal state is the effect of the arc confined head load. Under these conditions temperature in the arc-cathode contact area depends on the geometrical dimensions of the electrode. The effect of electrode thickness on temperature is indefinite and depends on the thermophysical properties of the electrode, i.e. thermal conductance and its surface blackness.展开更多

In this paper, the terrestrial heat flow o f the Chagan sag in the YingenEjinaqi Basin were calculated by 193 system steady-state temperature measurements of 4 wells, and newly measuring 62 rock thermal conductivity and 20 heat production rate data on basis o f the original 107 rock thermal conductivity and 70 heat production data. The results show that the average thermal conductivity and heat production rate are 2.11 ±0.28 W/(m.K) and2.42±0.25 nW/m^3 in the Lower Cretaceous o f the Chagan sag. The average geothermal gradient from the Lower Suhongtu 2 Formation to the Suhongtu 1 Fonnation is 37.6 °C/km, and that o f the Bayingebi 2 Formation is 27.4 °C/km. Meanwhile, the average terrestrial heat flow in the Chagan sag is 70.6 mW/m^2. On the above results, it is clear that there is an obvious negative correlation between the thermal conductivity o f the stratum and its geothermal gradient. Moreover, it reveals that there is a geothermal state between tectonically stable and active areas.

However, the high-aluminum (Al) content in AHSSs may react with SiO2 in conventional CaO-SiO2-based mold flux during the process of continuous casting, which leads to the deterioration of the mold flux properties and a poor slab quality. Then, the non-reactive CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was proposed and has been developing for the casting process of high-Al steels, but there are some problems of low consumption and insufficient lubrication that need to be solved. Thus, previous researches on the effect of each component on the properties of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux were systematically summarized, and the situation of plant trials on CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was evaluated. The results indicated that the proposed CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes could avoid the slag-metal reaction problems;however, the problems of lubri-cation, crystallization and heat transfer issues still exist. Therefore, tremendous works still need to be conducted for the development of new generation of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system. The review was performed aiming to provide a technical guidance for designing and optimizing CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system that meets the demand of the continuous casting process of high-Al steels.展开更多

Based on the research and evaluation data of shallow geothermal energy in capital cities of China, this paper analyzes the differences between two testing methods and finds that data measured in in-situ thermal conductivity test is closer to the actual utilization. This paper analyzes the influencing factors of thermophysical parameters from lithology, density, moisture content and porosity: The thermal conductivity coefficient of bedrock is generally higher than Quaternary system loose bed soil; as for the coefficient of bedrock, dolomite, shale and granite are higher while gabbro, sandstone and mudstone are lower; as for the coefficient of loose bed, pebble and gravel are higher while clay and silt are lower. As the particle size of sand decreases, the thermal conductivity coefficient declines accordingly. The thermal conductivity coefficient increases linearly with growing density and decreases in logarithm with growing moisture content as well as porosity; specific heat capacity decreases in logarithm with growing density, increases in power exponent with growing moisture content and decreases linearly with growing porosity. The thermal conductivity coefficient is high when hydrodynamic condition is good and vice versa. The conclusions of this paper have guiding significance for the research, evaluation and development of shallow geothermal energy in other areas.展开更多

The described technology permits obtaining a structural material of competitive properties compared to either heat treatable aluminum alloys or polymer composites for several types of applications. The examined thermophysical properties and structural characterization, including material anisotropy, coupled with the results of previous measurements of the mechanical properties of both Al2O3 reinforcing filaments and metallic prepregs have proven the high quality of this material and the possibility of its operation under special loading modes and environmental conditions. Microscopic examinations (LM, SEM) were carried out to reveal the range of morphological homogeneity of the microstructure, the anisotropy of the filament band distribution, and simultaneously the adhesive behavior of the metal/fbier interface. The 3D morphology of the chosen microstructure components was revealed by computed tomography. The obtained results indicate that special properties of the examined prepreg materials have been strongly influenced, on the one hand, by the geometry of its internal microstructure, i.e. spatial distribution and volume fraction of the Al2O3 reinforcing filaments and, on the other hand, by a very good compatibility obtained between the individual metal prepreg components.展开更多

The effect of thermophysical property and coating thickness on casting solidification temperature field, microstructure and hardness has been investigated. The results show that the solidification rate decreases inversely with the coating thickness when the coating contains silica sol, zircon powder, mullite powder and defoaming agent. In contrast, the solid cooling rate increases as the coating thickness increases. However, the solidification rate and solid cooling rate of the casting produced by the existing IC and the improved IC are very similar when the coating thickness is 5 mm, so the microstructure and hardness of a container corner fitting produced by the improved IC and the existing IC are similar. The linear regression equation for the grain size （d） and cooling rate （v） of the castings is d= -0.41v＋206.1. The linear regression equation for the content of pearlite （w） and solid cooling rate （t） is w=1.79t ＋ 6.71. The new improved IC can greatly simplify the process and decrease the cost of production compared with the existing IC. Contrasting with LI=C, container corner fittings produced by the new improved IC have fewer defects and better properties. It was also found that the desired microstructure and properties can be obtained by changing the thermophysical property and thickness of the coating.展开更多

The average geothermal gradient from the Lower Suhongtu 2 Formation to the Suhongtu 1 Fonnation is 37.6 °C/km, and that o f the Bayingebi 2 Formation is 27.4 °C/km. Meanwhile, the average terrestrial heat flow in the Chagan sag is 70.6 mW/m^2. On the above results, it is clear that there is an obvious negative correlation between the thermal conductivity o f the stratum and its geothermal gradient. Moreover, it reveals that there is a geothermal state between tectonically stable and active areas. This work may provide geothermal parameters for further research o f lithospheric thermal structure and geodynamics in the Chagan sag.

文摘Thermal barrier coating(TBC)materials perform an increasingly important role in the thermal or chemical protection of hot components in a gas turbine.In this study,a novel high entropy hafnate(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7) was synthesized by solution combustion method and investigated as a potential TBC layer.The as-synthesized(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7) possesses a pure single disordered fluorite phase with a highly homogeneous distribution of rare earth(RE)cations,exhibiting prominent phase stability and excellent chemical compatibility with Al_(2)O_(3) even at 1300°C.Moreover,(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7) demonstrates a more sluggish grain growth rate than Y_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7).The thermal conductivity of(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7)(0.73-0.93 W m^(-1)K^(-1))is smaller than those of components RE_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7) and many high entropy TBC materials.Beside,the calculated thermal expansion coefficient(TEC)of(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7)(10.68×10^(-6)/K,1100°C)is smaller than that of yttriastabilized zirconia(YSZ).Based on the results of this work,(Y_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Dy_(0.2)Er_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))_(2)Hf_(2)O_(7) is suitable for the next generation TBC materials with outstanding properties.

文摘Nimonic 80A is a nickel-chromium alloy which is strengthened by additions of titanium and aluminium. The alloy is used for high temperature, high strength applications. Wire shaped Nimonic 80A samples are resistively volume heated as part of a fast capacitor discharge circuit. Time resolved measurements with sub-μs resolution of current through the specimen are performed with a Pearson probe, voltage drop across the specimen is measured with knife-edge contacts and ohmic voltage dividers and the radiance temperature of the sample with a pyrometer. These measurements allow to determine heat of fusion as well as heat capacity and electrical resistivity at initial geometry of Nimonic 80A as a function of temperature in the solid and in the liquid phase up to 2400 K.

文摘Advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) have been gradually applied to modern auto industry, as they have the advantages of improving the steel strength and lightening the car weight, which not only ensures the safety but also saves the energy. However, the high-aluminum (Al) content in AHSSs may react with SiO2 in conventional CaO-SiO2-based mold flux during the process of continuous casting, which leads to the deterioration of the mold flux properties and a poor slab quality. Then, the non-reactive CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was proposed and has been developing for the casting process of high-Al steels, but there are some problems of low consumption and insufficient lubrication that need to be solved. Thus, previous researches on the effect of each component on the properties of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux were systematically summarized, and the situation of plant trials on CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux was evaluated. The results indicated that the proposed CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes could avoid the slag-metal reaction problems;however, the problems of lubri-cation, crystallization and heat transfer issues still exist. Therefore, tremendous works still need to be conducted for the development of new generation of CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system. The review was performed aiming to provide a technical guidance for designing and optimizing CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux system that meets the demand of the continuous casting process of high-Al steels.

文摘The precooler is a distinctive component of precooled air-breathing engines but constitutes a challenge to conventional thermal design methods.The latter are based upon assumptions that often reveal to be limited for precooler design.In this paper,a refined design method considering the variations of fluid thermophysical properties,flow area and thermal parameters distortion,was proposed to remediate their limitations.Firstly,the precooler was discretized into a fixed number of sub-microtubes based on a new discretization criterion.Next,in-house one-dimensional(1D)and two-dimensional(2D)segmented models were established for rapid thermal design and precooler rating with non-uniform airflow,respectively.The heat transfer experimental studies of supercritical hydrocarbon fuel were performed to verify the Jackson correlation for precooler design and the in-house models were validated against the reported data from open literature.On this basis,the proposed method was employed for the design analysis of hydrocarbon fuel precoolers for precooled-Turbine Based Combined Cycle(TBCC)engines.The results show that the local performance of precoolers is intrinsically impacted by the aforementioned three variations.In the case study,the local heat transfer performance is drastically affected by coolant flow transition.While the circumferential temperature distortion of airflow is weakened by heat transfer.With consideration of additional parameter variations,this novel method improves design accuracy and shortens the design time.

文摘Thermophysical parameters are the main parameters affecting the utilization efficiency of shallow geothermal energy. Based on the research and evaluation data of shallow geothermal energy in capital cities of China, this paper analyzes the differences between two testing methods and finds that data measured in in-situ thermal conductivity test is closer to the actual utilization. This paper analyzes the influencing factors of thermophysical parameters from lithology, density, moisture content and porosity: The thermal conductivity coefficient of bedrock is generally higher than Quaternary system loose bed soil; as for the coefficient of bedrock, dolomite, shale and granite are higher while gabbro, sandstone and mudstone are lower; as for the coefficient of loose bed, pebble and gravel are higher while clay and silt are lower. As the particle size of sand decreases, the thermal conductivity coefficient declines accordingly. The thermal conductivity coefficient increases linearly with growing density and decreases in logarithm with growing moisture content as well as porosity; specific heat capacity decreases in logarithm with growing density, increases in power exponent with growing moisture content and decreases linearly with growing porosity. The thermal conductivity coefficient is high when hydrodynamic condition is good and vice versa. The conclusions of this paper have guiding significance for the research, evaluation and development of shallow geothermal energy in other areas.
文摘In this work the process of manufacturing a continuously reinforced cast Al matrix composite and its properties are presented. The described technology permits obtaining a structural material of competitive properties compared to either heat treatable aluminum alloys or polymer composites for several types of applications. The examined thermophysical properties and structural characterization, including material anisotropy, coupled with the results of previous measurements of the mechanical properties of both Al2O3 reinforcing filaments and metallic prepregs have proven the high quality of this material and the possibility of its operation under special loading modes and environmental conditions. Microscopic examinations (LM, SEM) were carried out to reveal the range of morphological homogeneity of the microstructure, the anisotropy of the filament band distribution, and simultaneously the adhesive behavior of the metal/fbier interface. The 3D morphology of the chosen microstructure components was revealed by computed tomography. The obtained results indicate that special properties of the examined prepreg materials have been strongly influenced, on the one hand, by the geometry of its internal microstructure, i.e. spatial distribution and volume fraction of the Al2O3 reinforcing filaments and, on the other hand, by a very good compatibility obtained between the individual metal prepreg components.

文摘As a ceramic material,AlN has very good thermophysical and mechanical properties.In addition,AlN is an effective refining agent for Mg alloys because it has a lattice constant similar to that of Mg.Therefore,AlN is an ideal reinforcement for magnesium matrix composites(MMCs),and is attracting increasing attention.This review addresses the development of preparation technologies for AlN-reinforced Mg matrix composites.The mainstream preparation techniques include stir casting,melt infiltration,powder metallurgy,and in-situ methods.In addition,the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are analyzed in depth,and it is pointed out that the next direction for the preparation of high-performance AlN-reinforced MMCs is less aluminization and multiple technologies integration.

文摘The new heat transfer alloy is highly reactive at high temperatures,and the corrosion of the container material determines the service life of the heat transfer system.The high-temperature corrosion of Sn-Bi-Zn-Ga alloys as heat transfer fluid was investigated.The microstructure and elemental distribution were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS).The thermal properties before and after corrosion were studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).The results show that the corrosion kinetics of the studied materials follows the parabolic law and the thermal properties after corrosion are improved.Ga significantly improves the thermal conductivity.316 stainless steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance due to its high Cr and Ni contents.Corrosion mechanism analysis shows that the oxidation of Ga has a smaller Gibbs free energy,and an oxide forms at the corrosion interface to prevent dissolution corrosion and oxidative corrosion of the container material.
文摘A new improved investment casting technology （IC） has been presented and compared with the existing IC technology such as lost foam casting （LFC）. The effect of thermophysical property and coating thickness on casting solidification temperature field, microstructure and hardness has been investigated. The results show that the solidification rate decreases inversely with the coating thickness when the coating contains silica sol, zircon powder, mullite powder and defoaming agent. In contrast, the solid cooling rate increases as the coating thickness increases. However, the solidification rate and solid cooling rate of the casting produced by the existing IC and the improved IC are very similar when the coating thickness is 5 mm, so the microstructure and hardness of a container corner fitting produced by the improved IC and the existing IC are similar. The linear regression equation for the grain size （d） and cooling rate （v） of the castings is d= -0.41v＋206.1. The linear regression equation for the content of pearlite （w） and solid cooling rate （t） is w=1.79t ＋ 6.71. The new improved IC can greatly simplify the process and decrease the cost of production compared with the existing IC. Contrasting with LI=C, container corner fittings produced by the new improved IC have fewer defects and better properties. It was also found that the desired microstructure and properties can be obtained by changing the thermophysical property and thickness of the coating.
