In this paper, the authors demonstrate the application of a modified Ru(phen)-based temperature-sensitive paint which was originally developed for the evaluation of unsteady aero-thermodynamic phenomena in high Mach number but short duration experiments. In the present work, the modified TSP with a temperature sensitivity of up to −5.6%/K was applied in a low Mach number long-duration test case in a low-pressure environment. For the demonstration of the paint’s performance, a flat plate with a mounted cylinder was set up in the High-Speed Cascade Wind Tunnel (HGK). The test case was designed to generate vortex shedding frequencies up to 4300 Hz which were sampled using a high-speed camera at 40 kHz frame rate to resolve unsteady surface temperature fields for potential heat-transfer estimations. The experiments were carried out at reduced ambient pressure of p∞ = 13.8 kPa for three inflow Mach numbers being Ma∞=[0.3;0.5;0.7]. In order to enable the resolution of very low temperature fluctuations down to the noise floor of 10−5 K with high spatial and temporal resolution, the flat plate model was equipped with a sprayable carbon nanotube (CNT) heating layer. This constellation, together with the thermal sensors incorporated in the model, allowed for the calculation of a quasi-heat-transfer coefficient from the surface temperature fields. Besides the results of the experiments, the paper highlights the properties of the modified TSP as well as the methodology.

Thermoacoustic energy conversion was introduced into engineering systems during the past three decades as a new, alternative, environmentally safe energy conversion technology. It uses noble gases and mixtures of noble gases as working fluids rather than hazardous refrigerants required for the vapor compression cycle. A thermoacoustic system can operate both as a prime mover/engine (a temperature gradient and heat flow imposed across the stack lead to the generation of acoustic work/sound in the resonator) and, when reversing the thermodynamic cycle, as a refrigerator (acoustic work is used to pump heat from the low temperature reservoir and release it into a higher temperature ambient). Energy transport in thermoacoustic systems is based on the thermoacoustic effect. Using an acoustic driver, the working fluid in the resonance tube is excited to generate an acoustic standing wave. When introducing a stack of parallel plates of length Δx into the acoustic field at a suitable location, a temperature difference ΔT develops along the stack plates. This temperature difference is caused by the thermoacoustic effect. In this paper the thermoacoustic effect is visualized using real-time holographic interferometry combined with high-speed cinematography. In holographic interferometry both temperature and pressure variations impact the refractive index and both of these variations are present in our thermoacoustic system. In our analysis temperature variations are uncoupled from pressure variations to quantitatively visualize the oscillating temperature fields around the stack plate.

Thick-wall components of the thermal power unit limit maximum heating and cooling rates during start-up or shut-down of the unit. A method of monitoring the thermal stresses in thick-walled components of thermal power plants is presented. The time variations of the local heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pressure component are determined based on the measurement of the wall temperature at one or six points respectively for one- and three-dimensional unsteady temperature fields in the component. The temperature sensors are located close to the internal surface of the component. A technique for measuring the fastchanging fluid temperature was developed. Thermal stresses in pressure components with complicated shapes can be computed using FEM (Finite Element Method) based on experimentally estimated fluid temperature and heat transfer coefficient

The presented paper compares results of measured temperature fields achieved by digital holographic interferometry (DHI) and hot wire anemometry. It shows the possibility of using holographic interferometry for the visualization of temperature fields in periodically moving fluids. The measurement of temperature fields in moving fluids has many inherent difficulties. The usage of point temperature measurement methods, such as Constant Current Anemometry (CCA), is limited to frequencies up to 3000 Hz. This frequency should be the limiting factor for using CCA in fluids when a rapid change of temperature occurs. This shortcoming of CCA measurements could be overcome through the use of optical methods such as digital holographic interferometry. It is necessary to employ a special holographic setup with double sensitivity instead of the commonly used Mach-Zehnder type of holographic interferometer in order to attain parameters sufficient for the studied case. This setup is not as light-efficient as the Mach-Zehnder type but has double sensitivity. The special technique of acquiring and phase averaging the results from holographic interferometry is presented. The paper also shows the first results of an evaluated 3D temperature field.

This paper describes the design, operation, construction, and demonstration of a new type of high-bandwidth unsteady temperature sensor based on fiber optics, and capable of operating in a high-speed multistage research compressor with flow representative of jet engine conditions. The sensing element is an optical coating of zinc selenide deposited on the end of an optical fiber. During evaluation in aerodynamic testing, a 1 K gas temperature resolution was demonstrated at 9.6 kHz and an upper bandwidth limit of 36 kHz achieved.

A computational effort was undertaken to study the thermal field behind a slowly rising solitary air bubble. Starting from rest, the bubble moves upward in water due to buoyancy force in the gravitational field and induces both internal and external motion. The bubble, being colder than the surrounding water, is heated by water. The upward motion deforms the shape of the bubble and generates a convective heat transfer process. Variation of temperature at the gas-liquid interface causes a local variation of surface tension. Although the problems of this type have been generally treated by the axisymmetric assumption, the present work employs a three-dimensional model that captures the azimuthal variation of flow parameters. High-speed photography was employed to visualize the bubble evolution from the onset until the bubble reached a certain velocity. The computations were performed using the finite-volume and Volume of Fluid (VOF) techniques. The shape and evolution of the bubble as predicted by the computations are compared with those captured on the high-speed photographs. The computations revealed details of the pressure and temperature fields inside and outside the bubble. They also indicated the thermal field in the wake region behind the bubble.

Abstract Cyclone venturi dryer is suitable for drying materials with large particle size and wide distribution. The working process of cyclone venturi dryer is a very complicated three-dimensional and turbulent motion, so it is difficult to be studied theoretically and experimentally. In order to study the internal flow characteristics of the biomass particle cyclone venturi dryer, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software was used to simulate the gas-solid two-phase flow field inside the cyclone venturi dryer. The continuous phase adopts the Realizable k-ε turbulence model and the particle phase is discrete. The effects of different injection volume on the pressure, velocity, and temperature fields inside a cyclone venturi dryer were analyzed. The results showed that the maximum pressure drop and velocity change inside the dryer were at the venturi pipe. The wet material of the cyclone venturi dryer was inhaled into the venturi contraction tube by the negative pressure formed after the highspeed airflow was ejected, thus the mixture was completed in the venturi throat. The wood debris material was mixed with the high-speed hot gas flow in the venturi throat and then sprayed into the diffusion pipe. In the diffusion pipe of venturi, the heat and mass transfer process of wet wood debris and heat flow in venturi diffusion tube was completed. It is in good agreement with the simulation results. This study can provide a reference for the optimization design of the related cyclone venturi dryer structure.
