Abstract In modern domestic and foreign experience of gas power supply to houses and industrial facilities located remotely from the main power station, decentralized gas power supply systems fed with propane-butane mixtures of liquefied petroleum gases from tanks are increasingly used. When using liquefied petroleum gases as the main energy carrier in gas tank systems, they are evaporated artificially in evaporators with an intermediate solid-state or liquid heat transfer agent, under conditions of its natural convection. The main operational characteristic of industrial tube evaporators of propane-butane mixtures of liquefied petroleum gases used for gas power supply from tank installations of housing and communal, industrial and industrial facilities that are remote from the main power supply stations is evaporation capacity. The evaporation capacity of industrial tube evaporators of propane-butane mixtures with a solid-state intermediate heat transfer medium is determined by the heat input from the tubular electric heaters through the aluminum casting layer. Therefore, the study of heat transfer in the solid–state intermediate heat transfer medium-evaporation coil system is the most important prerequisite for the effective operation of industrial tube evaporators of propane-butane mixtures and requires detailed research. To solve the problem of determining the heat transfer resistance between the layers of aluminum casting in contact with the surface of the tubular electric heaters group and the outer evaporation coil surface studies were performed on an electrical model. The average value of the total error of the results of experimental studies on electrothermal modeling is 3.7 %, with a confidence probability of 95 %. Recommendations are given for reducing the thickness of the layers in clear from the lower coil of the evaporative tube coil to the lower generatrix of the solid-state aluminum mass and the upper coil of the evaporative tube coil to the upper generatrix of the solid-state aluminum mass.

The main contribution of this paper is to show a new AC/DC converter based on the rearrangement of the flyback converter. The proposed circuit only manages part of the energy and the rest is delivered directly from the source to the load. Therefore, with the new topology, the efficiency is increased, and the stress of the components is reduced. The rearrangement consist of the secondary of the flyback is placed in parallel with the load, and this arrangement is connected in series with the primary side and the rectified voltage source. The re-arranged flyback is only a reductive topology and with no magnetic isolation. It was studied as a power supply for LEDs. A low frequency averaged analysis (LFAA) was used to determine the behavior of the proposed circuit and an equivalent circuit much easier to analyze was obtained. To validate the theoretical analysis, a design methodology was developed for the re-arranged flyback converter. The designed circuit was implemented in a 10 W prototype. Experimental results showed that the converter has a THDi = 21.7% and a PF = 0.9686.

Nanofluids is an innovative study of nanotechnology applied to the traditional field of thermal engineering. It refers to the metal or non-metallic nanopowder was dispersed into water, alcohol, oil and other traditional heat transfer medium, to prepared as a new heat transfer medium with high thermal conductivity. The role of nanofluids in strengthening heat transfer has been confirmed by a large number of experimental studies. Its heat transfer mechanism is mainly divided into two aspects. On the one hand, the addition of nanoparticles enhances the thermal conductivity. On the other hand, due to the interaction between the nanoparticles and base fluid causing the changes in the flow characteristics, which is also the main factor affecting the heat transfer of nanofluids. Therefore, a intensive study on the flow characteristics of nanofluids will make the study of heat transfer more meaningful. In this experiment, the flow characteristics of SiO2-water nanofluids in two-dimensional backward step flow are quantitatively studied by PIV. The results show that under the same Reynolds number, the turbulence of nanofluids is larger than that of pure water. With the increase of nanofluids volume fraction, the flow characteristics are constantly changing. The quantitative analysis proved that the nanofluids disturbance was enhanced compared with the base liquid, which resulting in the heat transfer enhancement.

Разработана и представлена схема нового устройства, осуществляющего штамповку деталей с нагревом трубной заготовки воздействием продуктов сгорания газообразной топливной смеси. В качестве топливной смеси может использоваться горючий газ - смесь воздуха с метаном или с пропан-бутаном. Представлены результаты исследования процесса нагрева трубной заготовки воздействием продуктов сгорания. Исследование проведено на базе уравнений конвективного теплообмена, теплового баланса и термодинамики. Получена зависимость для определения температуры нагрева трубной заготовки. Установлено, что температура заготовки зависит от материала и геометрических размеров заготовки, а также давления топливной смеси. Данное устройство обеспечивает нагрев до интервала горячей обработки стальных трубных заготовок диаметром более 150 мм при толщине стенки до 1,2…1,5 мм, а при диаметре более 300 мм - толщиной до 2,0…2,5 мм. Для нагрева трубных заготовок из цветных металлов и сплавов (например, алюминия и меди) требуется меньшее давление топливной смеси, чем для стали, благодаря этому обеспечивается нагрев заготовок значительно большей толщины, в частности, заготовок из алюминия толщиной до 6 мм We developed a diagram of a new device for stamping parts by heating a pipe billet by the action of combustion products of a gaseous fuel mixture. A combustible gas can be used as a fuel mixture - a mixture of air with methane or with propane-butane. We present the results of a study of the process of heating a pipe billet by the action of combustion products. We carried out the study on the basis of the equations of convective heat transfer, heat balance and thermodynamics. We obtained the dependence for determining the heating temperature of the pipe billet. We found that the temperature of the workpiece depends on the material and geometric dimensions of the workpiece, as well as the pressure of the fuel mixture. This device provides heating to the hot working interval of steel pipe billets with a diameter of more than 150 mm with a wall thickness of up to 1.2 ... 1.5 mm, and with a diameter of more than 300 mm - with a thickness of up to 2.0 ... 2.5 mm. To heat tubular billets made of non-ferrous metals and alloys (for example, aluminum and copper), a lower pressure of the fuel mixture is required than for steel, due to this, billets of a much greater thickness are heated, in particular, billets made of aluminum with a thickness of up to 6 mm

High conductivity porosity materials are proposed to enhance the phase change materials (PCM) in order to solve the problem of low conductivity of PCM in the latent heat storage device (LHSD), and two-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted to predict the performance of the PCM by CFD software. During the phase change process, the PCM is heated from the solid state to the liquid phase in the process of melting and from the liquid phase to the solid state in the solidification process. The results show that porosity materials can improve heat transfer rate effectively, but the effect of heat transfer of Al foam is superior to that of graphite foam although the heat storage capacity is almost the same for both. The heat transfer is enhanced and the solidification time of PCM is decreased since the effective thermal conductivity of composite PCM is increased.

A proposed apparatus for controlling temperatures from −190 deg to +650 deg with an estimated accuracy of 0.001 deg C is described. The apparatus utilizes helium as the heat transfer medium. The selection of the gain constants of the controller depends upon the system parameters. The hypothetical case of a solid cylindrical block with an integral plus proportional controller is considered, the differential equations are set up, and a graphical scheme is presented for the selection of the controller constants.
