Based on hydrodynamics and heat transfer theory, a 2-D temperature field model in cylindrical coordinates is developed. In the model, we considered general heat conduction as well as the heat convection due to fluid flow from porous formation to the borehole. We also take into account the fluid velocity variation in the wellbore due to multiple pay zones. We present coupled boundary conditions at the interfaces between the wellbore and adjacent formation, the wellbore and pay zone, and the pay zone and adjacent formation. Finally, an alternating direction implicit difference method （ADI） is used to solve the temperature model for the downhole temperature distribution. The comparison of modeled temperature curve with actual temperature log indicates that simulation result is in general quite similar to the actual temperature log. We found that the total production rate, production time, porosity, thickness of pay zones, and geothermal gradient, all have effects on the downhole temperature distribution.展开更多

Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide （TGO） appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.展开更多

Heavy rain is a complicated factor that it may wash away the pollution layerwithout initiating other stages of breakdown or it may bridge the gaps between sheds to promoteflashover. The insulator with a conducting pollution layer being energized, can cause a surfaceleakage current to flow (also temperature-rise). As the surface conductivity is non-uniform, theconducting pollution layer becomes broken by dry bands (at spots of high current density),interrupting the flow of leakage current. Voltage across insulator gets concentrated across drybands, and causes high electric stress and breakdown (dry band arcing). If the resistance of theinsulator surface is sufficiently low, the dry band arcs can be propagated to bridge the terminalscausing flashover. The present paper concerns the evaluation of the temperature distribution alongthe surface of an energized artificially polluted insulator string.展开更多

In the present study, thermocouples in three different configurations were amxed on the welding samples to measure the temperatures： in the first configuration, four thermocouples were placed at equivalent positions along one side of the welding direction; the second configuration involved two equivalent thermocouple locations on either side of the welding path; while the third configuration had all the thermocouples on one side of the layout but with unequal gaps from the welding line. A three-dimensional, non-linear ANSYS computational model, based on an approach applied to A12024-T3 for the first time, was used to simulate the welding temperature profiles obtained experimentally. The experimental thermal profiles on the whole were found to be in agreement with those calculated by the ANSYS model. The broad agreement between the two kinds of profiles validates the basis for derivation of the simulation model and provides an approach for the FSW simulation in A12024-T3 and is potentially more useful than models derived previously.展开更多

A simplified model of tapered roller bearings consisted of one inner raceway, one outer raceway and a tapered roller was established, in which the interaction of several heat sources is ignored. The contact mechanics model, temperature model and model of scuffing failure are synthesized, and the corresponding computer programs are developed to analyze the effects of bearings parameters, different material and operational conditions on thermal performance of bearings, and temperature distribution and the possibility of surface scuffing are obtained. The results show that load, speed, thermal conductivity and tapered roller materials influence temperature rise and scuffing failure of bearings. Ceramic material of tapered roller results in the decrease of scuffing possibility of bearings to a high extent than the conventional rolling bearing steel. Compared with bulk temperature, flash temperature on the surfaces of bearing elements has a little influence on maximum temperature rise of bearing elements. For the rolling bearings operated under high speed and heavy load, this paper proposes a method which can accurately calculate the possibility of scuffing failure of rolling bearings.展开更多

A three-dimensional model based on finite element analysis was used to study the thermal characteristic of copper C I 1000 during the FSW process. The model incorporates the mechanical reaction of the tool and thermo-mechanieal characteristics of the weld material, while the friction between the material and the probe and the shoulder serves as the heat source. It was observed that the predicted results about the temperature were in good compatibility with the experimental results. Additionally, it was concluded that the numerical method can be simply applied to measuring the temperature of workpiece just beneath the tool. The effects of preheating temperature and pin angle on temperature distribution were also studied numerically. The increase of pin angle enhances the temperature around the weld line, but preheating does not affect temperature distribution along the weld line considerably.展开更多

A combustion monitoring system is introduced which can solve the problem efficiently. Through this system, the 3-D temperature distribution in a coal-fired boiler furnace can be obtained using a novel flame image processing technique. Briefly, we first outline the visualization principle. Then, the hardware and software design of the system in a 300 MW twin-furnace coal-fired boiler are introduced in detail. The visualization of the 3-D temperature distribution in the twin-furnace boiler is realized with an industrial computer and the Distributed Control System (DCS) of the boiler. The practical operation of the system shows that it can provide valuable combustion information of a furnace and is useful for the combustion diagnosis and adjustment in coal-fired power plants.展开更多

In particular, starting from the irregular pressure and friction distribution which led to an uneven heat generation, a 2D mathematical model of calculating the transverse termperature distribution was presented. A physical explanation for this problem was given and the model was used as an essential basis to build a corresponding FEM simulation model, in which heat loss and generation were considered. Deformation and friction heat were described in details. For a clearer and more logical analysis, the heat generation problem was split into two parts： one for the strip centre, and one for the sides, in correspondence with the temperature peak points at 100 mm from the strip edge. Finally, the result shows that how thenew theoretical model can lead to the exact interpretation of the measured uneven temperature distribution.展开更多

With a finite difference method, the heat flux onto the divertor target plates is calculated from the surface temperature profile. The high confinement mode （H-mode） with type-III edge localized modes （ELMs） has been obtained with about 1 MW lower-hybrid wave power on the EAST in the autumn experiment in 2010. The analyzed H-mode discharges were lower single null X-point diverted discharges with a density range of 〈 ne 〉 （1 - 4） × 10^19 m-3. The surface temperature of the inner target plate increases with heating power. The peak temperature on the surface of target plates is lower than 200 ~C with about 2.4 MW heating power. Comparison among the heat flux profiles occurring in different phases in the same discharge has been performed. It indicates that the heat flux profile obviously changes from the ohmic phase to the H-mode phase, and the full width at half maximum （FWHM） of the heat flux profile is the narrowest during the ELM-free H-phase. On the outer target plate, the peak heat flux exceeds 2 MW/m2 during the ELMy H-mode phase, whereas it is only about 0.8 MW/m2 during the ELM-free phase in the same discharge.展开更多

The online results showed that the cooling strategies can improve the temperature homogeneity greatly and the finite difference method can correctly simulate the cooling process.展开更多

文摘Smelting with oxygen bottom blowing is one of the main methods used in the frame of copper pyrometallurgy.With this approach,feed materials and oxygen-enriched air are introduced in reversed order to enhance multiphaseflow within the furnace.Understanding the flow structure and temperature distribution in this setup is crucial foroptimizing production.In this study,gas-liquid interactions,and temperature profiles under varying air-injectionconditions are examined by means of numerical simulation for a 3.2 m×20 m furnace.The results indicate that thehigh-velocity regions are essentially distributed near the lance within the reaction region and the flue gas outlet,while low-velocity regions are located close to the furnace walls on both side of the reaction region.Dead regionsappear in the sedimentation region,with gas velocities surpassing those of the molten phase.As the injection rateincreases from 0.50 to 0.80 Nm3/s,the stabilization time of the average liquid surface velocity decreases from 2.6 sto 1.9 s,exhibiting a similar trend to the gas holdup.During stabilization,the average liquid surface velocity risesfrom 0.505 to 0.702 m/s.The average turbulent kinetic energy(TKE)of the fluid in the molten bath increases from0.095 to 0.162 m^(2)/s^(2).The proportion of the area distribution with TKE greater than 0.10 m^(2)/s^(2) and the gas holdupat steady state both rise with an increase in the injection quantity.The maximum splashing height of the melt growsfrom approximately 0.756 to 1.154 m,with the affected area expanding from 14.239 to 20.498 m^(2).Under differentworking conditions with varying injection quantities,the average temperature changes in melt zone and flue gaszone of the furnace are small.The temperature in the melt and in the flue-gas zone spans the interval 1200℃–1257℃,and 1073℃–1121℃,respectively.The temperature distribution of the melt and flue gas reveals a patterncharacterized by elevated temperatures in the reaction zone,gradually transitioning to lower temperatures in thesedimentation region.

文摘In the field of aerospace, high-speed trains and automobile, etc, analysis of temperature filed and scuffing failure of tapered roller bearings are more important than ever, and the scuffing failure of elements of such rolling bearings under heavy load and high speed still cannot be effectively predicted yet. A simplified model of tapered roller bearings consisted of one inner raceway, one outer raceway and a tapered roller was established, in which the interaction of several heat sources is ignored. The contact mechanics model, temperature model and model of scuffing failure are synthesized, and the corresponding computer programs are developed to analyze the effects of bearings parameters, different material and operational conditions on thermal performance of bearings, and temperature distribution and the possibility of surface scuffing are obtained. The results show that load, speed, thermal conductivity and tapered roller materials influence temperature rise and scuffing failure of bearings. Ceramic material of tapered roller results in the decrease of scuffing possibility of bearings to a high extent than the conventional rolling bearing steel. Compared with bulk temperature, flash temperature on the surfaces of bearing elements has a little influence on maximum temperature rise of bearing elements. For the rolling bearings operated under high speed and heavy load, this paper proposes a method which can accurately calculate the possibility of scuffing failure of rolling bearings.

文摘Friction stir welding （FSW） is applied extensively in industry for joining of nonferrous metals especially aluminum. A three-dimensional model based on finite element analysis was used to study the thermal characteristic of copper C I 1000 during the FSW process. The model incorporates the mechanical reaction of the tool and thermo-mechanieal characteristics of the weld material, while the friction between the material and the probe and the shoulder serves as the heat source. It was observed that the predicted results about the temperature were in good compatibility with the experimental results. Additionally, it was concluded that the numerical method can be simply applied to measuring the temperature of workpiece just beneath the tool. The effects of preheating temperature and pin angle on temperature distribution were also studied numerically. The increase of pin angle enhances the temperature around the weld line, but preheating does not affect temperature distribution along the weld line considerably.

Briefly, we first outline the visualization principle. Then, the hardware and software design of the system in a 300 MW twin-furnace coal-fired boiler are introduced in detail. The visualization of the 3-D temperature distribution in the twin-furnace boiler is realized with an industrial computer and the Distributed Control System (DCS) of the boiler. The practical operation of the system shows that it can provide valuable combustion information of a furnace and is useful for the combustion diagnosis and adjustment in coal-fired power plants.
文摘A new theoretical thermomechanical explanation of the uneven transverse temperature distribution, along the width for thin and wide hot rolled strip was proposed. In particular, starting from the irregular pressure and friction distribution which led to an uneven heat generation, a 2D mathematical model of calculating the transverse termperature distribution was presented. A physical explanation for this problem was given and the model was used as an essential basis to build a corresponding FEM simulation model, in which heat loss and generation were considered. Deformation and friction heat were described in details. For a clearer and more logical analysis, the heat generation problem was split into two parts： one for the strip centre, and one for the sides, in correspondence with the temperature peak points at 100 mm from the strip edge. Finally, the result shows that how thenew theoretical model can lead to the exact interpretation of the measured uneven temperature distribution.
文摘The axial and radial convective flow,temperature fluctuation and distribution in the HMCZ silicon melt are studied tentatively.The experimental results show that the axial and radial convective speeds,the tempera- ture variation and the radial temperature gradient,parallel to magnetic field and near melt surface,all decrease,but the axisymmetry of temperature distribution no longer exists when the magnetic field is applied.

文摘An infrared camera （IR） has been put into operation in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak （EAST）, which is used to measure the temperature distribution on the surface of lower divertor target plates. With a finite difference method, the heat flux onto the divertor target plates is calculated from the surface temperature profile. The high confinement mode （H-mode） with type-III edge localized modes （ELMs） has been obtained with about 1 MW lower-hybrid wave power on the EAST in the autumn experiment in 2010. The analyzed H-mode discharges were lower single null X-point diverted discharges with a density range of 〈 ne 〉 （1 - 4） × 10^19 m-3. The surface temperature of the inner target plate increases with heating power. The peak temperature on the surface of target plates is lower than 200 ~C with about 2.4 MW heating power. Comparison among the heat flux profiles occurring in different phases in the same discharge has been performed. It indicates that the heat flux profile obviously changes from the ohmic phase to the H-mode phase, and the full width at half maximum （FWHM） of the heat flux profile is the narrowest during the ELM-free H-phase. On the outer target plate, the peak heat flux exceeds 2 MW/m2 during the ELMy H-mode phase, whereas it is only about 0.8 MW/m2 during the ELM-free phase in the same discharge.

文摘SiC_(p)/Al composites are difficult-to-cut materials.In recent years,electrical arc discharge machining has been developed to improve the machinability of these materials.However,there is a big challenge to build a satisfactory heat transfer model of SiC_(p)/Al composites in the arc machining.This is not only because of the material property difference between the reinforcement and matrix material but also because of the micro-dimension Si C reinforcements.This paper established a new heat conduction simulation model considering the Si C particle-Al matrix interface and the phase change effects in a single-pulsed arc discharge of SiC_(p)/Al composites.A novel Si C particle-Al matrix cell geometric model was designed firstly.Then,the temperature distribution at a different depth from the workpiece surface was analyzed,the influence of sic volume fraction on temperature field was studied,and the contribution of the interface thermal resistance and latent heat were explained.To demonstrate the validity of the new numerical model,comparisons and verifications were employed.Finally,the method of improving the model was proposed and the machining mechanism of arc discharge of SiC_(p)/Al matrix materials was discussed.It was found that high temperature is prone to concentrate on the surface layers of the workpiece especially when the Si C fraction is high,also,the temperature fluctuates respectively at the evaporation point of aluminum and Si C,and the Si C-Al resistance has less influence on temperature distribution compared to latent heat,etc.The model build in this work improves the simulation accuracy observably compared to the previous model,and the simulation work will help to acquire a detailed mechanism of material removal of SiC_(p)/Al composites in the arc discharge machining.

文摘In this paper, we present a new algorithm to solve a two-dimensional parabolic inverse problem with a source parameter, which appears in many physical phenomena. A linearized compact difference scheme for this problem is constructed using the finite difference method. The discretization accuracy is second-order in time and fourth-order in space. We obtain the unique solvability and present an alternating direction implicit algorithm to solve this difference scheme. The results of numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of this algorithm.

文摘The temperature distribution of iron ore pellet bed in grate has a significant effect on pellet production and quality control, but the related work is scarce. A well-designed test was successfully carried out by means of tracking measurement and the temperature distribution and variation in pellet layers were obtained. The effects of blast tem- perature, blast velocity and oxidation reaction on the pellet layer temperature were studied. According to the analy- sis, the inlet air temperature in the up-draught drying zone （UDD） and blast temperature in the Preheating I （PH I） zone should be raised, and the length of the down-draught drying zone （DDD） should be properly increased.
文摘By analyzing heat transfer on the wall of fiat steel ribbon wound vessel （FSRWV）, a numerical model of temperature distribution on the entire wall （including inner core wall, flat steel ribbons, outside cylinder of jacket and insulating layer） was established by the authors. With the model, the temperature distribution and the length change in the vessel walls and flat steel ribbons in low temperature are calculated and analyzed. The results show that the flat steel ribbon wound cryogenic high-pressure vessel is simpler in structure, safer and easier to manufacture than those of conventional ones.

文摘On the basis of the finite difference method, the factors affecting the temperature distribution along the thickness of plate during cooling process were analyzed, which include transformation heat, coefficient of heat conduction, specific heat, carbon content, cooling time, plate thickness, and unit of water flow volume. To ensure the homogenous temperature distribution along the thickness of plate, some cooling strategies, such as interval cooling, stepped cooling, and unsymmetrical cooling of upper and lower surfaces, were applied online. The online results showed that the cooling strategies can improve the temperature homogeneity greatly and the finite difference method can correctly simulate the cooling process.
