This paper presents a three-dimensional thermal network(3DTN) model for epoxy resin encapsulated nano HFTs, which aims to precisely predict the temperature distribution inside the transformer in combination with the finite element method(FEM). A magnetothermal bidirectional coupling 3DTN model is established by analyzing the thermal conduction between the core, windings, and epoxy resin, while also considering the convection and radiation heat transfer mechanisms on the surface of the epoxy resin. The model considers the impact of loss distribution in the core and windings on the temperature field and adopts a simplified 1/2 thermal network model to reduce computational complexity. Furthermore, the results of FEM are compared with experimental results to verify the accuracy of the 3DTN model in predicting the temperature rise of nano HFT. The results show that the 3DTN model reduces errors by an average of 5.25% over the traditional two-dimensional thermal network(2DTN) model, particularly for temperature distributions in the windings and core. This paper provides a temperature rise prediction method for the thermal design and offers a theoretical basis and engineering guidance for the optimization of their thermal management systems.展开更多

Most of the work carried out thus far is based on the principle of directly mapping the thermal error against the temperature of critical machine elements irrespective of the operating conditions. But recent researches show that different sets of operating parameters generated significantly different error values even though the temperature of the machine elements generated was similar. As such, it is important to develop a generic thermal error model which is capable of evaluating the positioning error induced by different operating parameters. This paper ultimately aims at the development of a comprehensive prediction model that can predict the thermal characteristics under different operating conditions （feeding speed, load and preload of ballscrew） in a feed system. A novel wavelet neural network based on feedback linearization autoregressive moving averaging （NARMA-L2） model is introduced to predict the temperature rise of sensitive points and thermal positioning errors considering the different operating conditions as the model inputs. Particle swarm optimization（PSO） algorithm is brought in as the training method. According to ISO230-2 Positioning Accuracy Measurement and ISO230-3 Thermal Effect Evaluation standards, experiments under different operating conditions were carried out on a self-made quasi high-speed feed system experimental bench HUST-FS-001 by using Pt100 as temperature sensor, and the positioning errors were measured by Heidenhain linear grating scale. The experiment results show that the recommended method can be used to predict temperature rise of sensitive points and thermal positioning errors with good accuracy. The work described in this paper lays a solid foundation of thermal error prediction and compensation in a feed system based on varying operating conditions and machine tool characteristics.展开更多

The concerned parameters consisted of graphite content, maximum graphite length, primary dendrite percentage and microhardness of the matrix. Under the superposed influence of various parameters, the relationships between thermal conductivity and structural characteristics become irregular, as well as the effects of graphite length on the strength. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system was built to link the parameters and properties. A sensitivity test was then performed to rank the relative impact of parameters. It was found that the dominant parameter for tensile strength is graphite content, while the most relative parameter for thermal conductivity is maximum graphite length. The most effective method to simultaneously improve the tensile and thermal conductivity of gray cast iron is to reduce the carbon equivalent and increase the length of graphite flakes.展开更多

To address this issue, a novel prediction method for machine tool thermal error based on Bayesian networks (BNs) was presented. The method described causal relationships of factors inducing thermal deformation by graph theory and estimated the thermal error by Bayesian statistical techniques. Due to the effective combination of domain knowledge and sampled data, the BN method could adapt to the change of running state of machine, and obtain satisfactory prediction accuracy. Ex- periments on spindle thermal deformation were conducted to evaluate the modeling performance. Experimental results indicate that the BN method performs far better than the least squares (LS) analysis in terms of modeling estimation accuracy.展开更多

文摘Underground engineering in extreme environments necessitates understanding rock mechanical behavior under coupled high-temperature and dynamic loading conditions.This study presents an innovative multi-scale cross-platform PFC-FDEM coupling methodology that bridges microscopic thermal damage mechanisms with macroscopic dynamic fracture responses.The breakthrough coupling framework introduces:(1)bidirectional information transfer protocols enabling seamless integration between PFC’s particle-scale thermal damage characterization and FDEM’s continuum-scale fracture propagation,(2)multi-physics mapping algorithms that preserve crack network geometric invariants during scale transitions,and(3)cross-platform cohesive zone implementations for accurate SHTB dynamic loading simulation.The coupled approach reveals distinct three-stage crack evolution characteristics with temperature-dependent density following an exponential model.High-temperature exposure significantly reduces dynamic strength ratio(60%at 800℃)and diminishes strain-rate sensitivity,with dynamic increase factor decreasing from 1.0 to 2.2(25℃)to 1.0-1.3(800℃).Critically,the coupling methodology captures fundamental energy redistribution mechanisms:thermal crack networks alter elastic energy proportion from 75%to 35%while increasing fracture energy from 5%to 30%.Numerical predictions demonstrate excellent experimental agreement(±8%peak stress-strain errors),validating the PFC-FDEM coupling accuracy.This integrated framework provides essential computational tools for predicting complex thermal-mechanical rock behavior in underground engineering applications.

文摘The internal hotspot temperature rise prediction in nanocrystalline high-frequency transformers(nanoHFTs) is essential to ensure reliable operation. This paper presents a three-dimensional thermal network(3DTN) model for epoxy resin encapsulated nano HFTs, which aims to precisely predict the temperature distribution inside the transformer in combination with the finite element method(FEM). A magnetothermal bidirectional coupling 3DTN model is established by analyzing the thermal conduction between the core, windings, and epoxy resin, while also considering the convection and radiation heat transfer mechanisms on the surface of the epoxy resin. The model considers the impact of loss distribution in the core and windings on the temperature field and adopts a simplified 1/2 thermal network model to reduce computational complexity. Furthermore, the results of FEM are compared with experimental results to verify the accuracy of the 3DTN model in predicting the temperature rise of nano HFT. The results show that the 3DTN model reduces errors by an average of 5.25% over the traditional two-dimensional thermal network(2DTN) model, particularly for temperature distributions in the windings and core. This paper provides a temperature rise prediction method for the thermal design and offers a theoretical basis and engineering guidance for the optimization of their thermal management systems.

文摘Grid-scale energy storage systems provide effective solutions to address challenges such as supply-load imbalances and voltage violations resulting from the non-coinciding nature of renewable energy generation and peak demand incidents.While battery and hydrogen storage are commonly used for peak shaving,ice-based thermal energy storage systems(TESSs)offer a direct way to reduce cooling loads without electrical conversion.This paper presents a multi-objective planning framework that optimizes TESS dispatch,network topology,and photovoltaic(PV)inverter reactive power support to address operational issues in active distribution networks.The objectives of the proposed scheme include minimizing peak demand,voltage deviations,and PV inverter VAr dependency.The mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem is solved using a Pareto-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO)method.The MATLAB-OpenDSS simulations for a modified IEEE-123 bus system show a 7.1%reduction in peak demand,a 13%reduction in voltage deviation,and a 52%drop in PV inverter VAr usage.The obtained solutions confirm minimal operational stress on control devices such as switches and PV inverters.Thus,unlike earlier studies,this work combines all three strategies to offer an effective solution for the operational planning of the active distribution network.
文摘Peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian nanofluids with double diffusion is essential to biological engineering,microfluidics,and manufacturing processes.The authors tackle the key problem of Sisko nanofluids under double diffusion convection with thermal radiations and electroosmotic effects.Thestudy proposes a solution approach by using Morlet-Wavelet Neural Networks that can effectively solve this complex problem by their superior ability in the capture of nonlinear dynamics.These convergence analyses were calculated across fifty independent runs.Theil’s Inequality Coefficient and theMean Squared Error values range from 10^(-7) to 10^(-5) and 10^(-7) to 10^(-10),respectively.These values showed the proposed method is scientifically reliable and fast converging.Studies reveal that the intensity of the magnetic field causes a reduction in the flow velocity profile in the center of the channel.It is also evaluated that thermal radiations enhance the energy of the system,which promotes thermally induced diffusion and particle flow.The physical applications of this work pertain to improving fluid flow and heat transfer in engineering structures like converters or cooling devices or magnetic fluids in electronics,energy,and biomedical applications,where optimal control of fluid behavior is of paramount importance.

文摘The study of the spallation of thermal barrier coatings on turbine blades and its influence is of great significance for gas turbine safety operation.However,numerical simulation related to thermal barrier coatings is difficult and time-costly,which makes it hard to meet engineering demands.Therefore,this work establishes a rapid prediction model for the surface temperature and cooling efficiency of turbine blades with localized spallation of thermal barrier coatings based on a thin-wall thermal resistance model.Firstly,the influence of localized spallation of thermal barrier coatings on the cooling efficiency of typical turbine blades is numerically investigated.Then,based on the simulation data set and multi-layer perception(MLP)neural network,an intelligent prediction model for the temperature and cooling efficiency distribution of localized spallation of coatings is constructed,which can rapidly predict the surface temperature and cooling efficiency of the blade under the situation of spallation of coating at any position on the blade surface.The results show that,under a certain spallation area,the shape of localized coating spallation has little influence on the cooling efficiency,while the increase of spallation thickness will cause a linear increase in the average temperature of the blade surface.The prediction error of the proposed rapid prediction model for the average surface temperature and cooling efficiency of blades is within 2%,and the prediction error of the temperature and cooling efficiency at the spallation position is within 6%for 80%of the samples,with an overall average error within 10%.It is concluded from the rapid prediction model that when the depth of coating spallation increases,the closer the spallation position is to the leading edge of the blade,the greater the difference in cooling efficiency is,and the degree of influence of coating spallation on the cooling efficiency also increases.
文摘In Saharan climates,greenhouses face extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations that generate thermal stress,reduce crop productivity,and hinder sustainable agricultural practices.Passive thermal storage using Phase Change Materials(PCM)is a promising solution to stabilize microclimatic conditions.This study aims to evaluate experimentally and numerically the effectiveness of PCM integration for moderating greenhouse temperature fluctuations under Saharan climatic conditions.Two identical greenhouse prototypes were constructed in Ghardaia,Algeria:a reference greenhouse and a PCM-integrated greenhouse using calcium chloride hexahydrate(CaCl_(2)⋅6H_(2)O).Thermal performance was assessed during a five-day experimental period(7–11May 2025)under severe ambient conditions.To complement this,a Nonlinear Auto-Regressive with eXogenous inputs(NARX)neural network model was developed and trained using a larger dataset(7–25 May 2025)to predict greenhouse thermal dynamics.The PCM greenhouse reduced peak daytime air temperature by an average of 8.14℃and decreased the diurnal temperature amplitude by 53.6%compared to the reference greenhouse.The NARX model achieved high predictive accuracy(R^(2)=0.990,RMSE=0.425℃,MAE=0.223℃,MBE=0.008℃),capturing both sensible and latent heat transfer mechanisms,including PCM melting and solidification.The combined experimental and predictive modeling results confirm the potential of PCM integration as an effective passive thermal regulation strategy for greenhouses in arid regions.This approach enhances microclimatic stability,improves energy efficiency,and supports the sustainability of protected agriculture under extreme climatic conditions.

文摘Research of thermal characteristics has been a key issue in the development of high-speed feed system. Most of the work carried out thus far is based on the principle of directly mapping the thermal error against the temperature of critical machine elements irrespective of the operating conditions. But recent researches show that different sets of operating parameters generated significantly different error values even though the temperature of the machine elements generated was similar. As such, it is important to develop a generic thermal error model which is capable of evaluating the positioning error induced by different operating parameters. This paper ultimately aims at the development of a comprehensive prediction model that can predict the thermal characteristics under different operating conditions （feeding speed, load and preload of ballscrew） in a feed system. A novel wavelet neural network based on feedback linearization autoregressive moving averaging （NARMA-L2） model is introduced to predict the temperature rise of sensitive points and thermal positioning errors considering the different operating conditions as the model inputs. Particle swarm optimization（PSO） algorithm is brought in as the training method. According to ISO230-2 Positioning Accuracy Measurement and ISO230-3 Thermal Effect Evaluation standards, experiments under different operating conditions were carried out on a self-made quasi high-speed feed system experimental bench HUST-FS-001 by using Pt100 as temperature sensor, and the positioning errors were measured by Heidenhain linear grating scale. The experiment results show that the recommended method can be used to predict temperature rise of sensitive points and thermal positioning errors with good accuracy. The work described in this paper lays a solid foundation of thermal error prediction and compensation in a feed system based on varying operating conditions and machine tool characteristics.

文摘With the continuous development of the electronics industry,the energy density of modern electronic devices increases constantly,thus releasing a lot of heat during operation.Modern electronic devices take higher and higher request to the thermal interface materials.Achieving high thermal conductivity needs to establish an interconnecting thermal conductivity network in the matrix.For this purpose,the suspension of Al203 and curdlan was first foamed to construct a bubble-templated continuous ceramic framework.Owing to the rapid gelation property of curdlan,we can easily remove moisture by hot air drying.Finally,the high thermally conductive composites are prepared by vacuum impregnation of silicone rubber.The result showed that composites prepared by our method have higher thermal conductivity than the samples obtained by traditional method.The thermal conductivity of the prepared composite material reached 1.253 W·m^(-1)·K·^-(1)when the alumina content was 69.6 wt%.This facile method is expected to be applied to the preparation of high-performance thermal interface materials.

文摘Constructing controllable thermal conduction networks is the key to efficiently improve thermal conductivities of polymer composites.In this work,graphite oxide(GO)and functionalized carbon nanotubes(f-CNTs)are combined to prepare“Line-Plane”-like hetero-structured thermally conductive GO@f-CNTs fillers,which are then performed to construct controllable 3D GO@f-CNTs thermal conduction networks via selfsacrificing template method based on oxalic acid.Subsequently,thermally conductive GO@f-CNTs/polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)composites are fabricated via casting method.When the size of oxalic acid is 0.24 mm and the volume fraction of GO@f-CNTs is 60 vol%,GO@f-CNTs/PDMS composites present the optimal thermal conductivity coefficient(λ,4.00 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)),about 20 times that of theλof neat PDMS(0.20 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)),also much higher than theλ(2.44 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1))of GO/f-CNTs/PDMS composites with the same amount of randomly dispersed fillers.Meanwhile,the obtained GO@f-CNTs/PDMS composites have excellent thermal stability,whoseλdeviation is only about 3%after 500 thermal cycles(20-200℃).
文摘To develop a high performance gray cast iron with high tensile strength and thermal conductivity, multivariable analysis of microstructural effects on properties of gray cast iron was performed. The concerned parameters consisted of graphite content, maximum graphite length, primary dendrite percentage and microhardness of the matrix. Under the superposed influence of various parameters, the relationships between thermal conductivity and structural characteristics become irregular, as well as the effects of graphite length on the strength. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system was built to link the parameters and properties. A sensitivity test was then performed to rank the relative impact of parameters. It was found that the dominant parameter for tensile strength is graphite content, while the most relative parameter for thermal conductivity is maximum graphite length. The most effective method to simultaneously improve the tensile and thermal conductivity of gray cast iron is to reduce the carbon equivalent and increase the length of graphite flakes.

文摘High-speed trains often use temperature sensors to monitor the motion state of bearings.However,the temperature of bearings can be affected by factors such as weather and faults.Therefore,it is necessary to analyze in detail the relationship between the bearing temperature and influencing factors.In this study,a dynamics model of the axle box bearing of high-speed trains is established.The model can obtain the contact force between the rollers and raceway and its change law when the bearing contains outer-ring,inner-ring,and rolling-element faults.Based on the model,a thermal network method is introduced to study the temperature field distribution of the axle box bearings of high-speed trains.In this model,the heat generation,conduction,and dispersion of the isothermal nodes can be solved.The results show that the temperature of the contact point between the outer-ring raceway and rolling-elements is the highest.The relationships between the node temperature and the speed,fault type,and fault size are analyzed,finding that the higher the speed,the higher the node temperature.Under different fault types,the node temperature first increases and then decreases as the fault size increases.The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated using the actual temperature data of a high-speed train.This study proposes a thermal network model that can predict the temperature of each component of the bearings on a high-speed train under various speed and fault conditions.

文摘The interaction between the heat source location, its intensity, thermal expansion coefficient, the machine system configuration and the running environment creates complex thermal behavior of a machine tool, and also makes thermal error prediction difficult. To address this issue, a novel prediction method for machine tool thermal error based on Bayesian networks (BNs) was presented. The method described causal relationships of factors inducing thermal deformation by graph theory and estimated the thermal error by Bayesian statistical techniques. Due to the effective combination of domain knowledge and sampled data, the BN method could adapt to the change of running state of machine, and obtain satisfactory prediction accuracy. Ex- periments on spindle thermal deformation were conducted to evaluate the modeling performance. Experimental results indicate that the BN method performs far better than the least squares (LS) analysis in terms of modeling estimation accuracy.

文摘Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels have been used in wearable devices due to their good flexibility and biocompatibility.However,due to the low thermal conductivity(κ)of pure hydrogel,its further application in high power devices is limited.To solve this problem,melamine sponge(MS)was used as the skeleton to wrap boron nitride nanosheets(BNNS)through repeated layering assembly,successfully preparing a three-dimensional(3D)boron nitride network(BNNS@MS),and PVA hydrogels were formed in the pores of the network.Due to the existence of the continuous phonon conduction network,the BNNS@MS/PVA exhibited an improvedκ.When the content of BNNS is about 6 wt.%,κof the hydrogel was increased to 1.12 W m^(-1)K^(-1),about two times higher than that of pure hydrogel.The solid heat conduction network and liquid convection network cooperate to achieve good thermal management ability.Combined with its high specific heat capacity,the composites have an important application prospect in the field of wearable flexible electronic thermal management.
