The purpose of this work was to quantify the thermal bridge effect of vertical diagonal tie connectors in precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSPs). Special interest was in cases where the use of rigid insulation (e.g. PIR) would leave air gaps between insulation boards and diagonal ties, thus intensifying the thermal bridge. A climate chamber experiment using 5 different joint types was performed to gather reference data for CFD model validation. In the experiment, natural convection was observed in joints where no additional insulation was used, i.e. in air cavities. Significantly larger heat fluxes were measured in these cavities compared to insulated joints. The thermal bridging effect was evaluated for a typical PCSP (thermal transmittance without thermal bridges U = 0.11 W/(m²·K)) using CFD software taking into account 3D heat conduction and convection. Simulation results indicate that diagonal ties without adjacent air cavities increased the average thermal transmittance (U-value) of the envelope by 8%, diagonal ties with a 6 mm air cavity – 19...33% and diagonal ties with a 10 mm air cavity – 45...56%. In conclusion, it was found that the joints in insulation caused by diagonal ties affect the overall thermal performance of the building envelope significantly when efforts are not made to fill the air cavities around the connectors.

Ablation Resistance

ZrC-20vol.%MoSi2 (ZM) composite coating was fabricated by vacuum plasma spray and the ablation resistance was assessed using plasma flame under low (1.94 MW/m2) and high (3.01 MW/m2) heat fluxes, respectively. Results showed that the ultimate surface temperatures of ZM coating were about 2100 °C and 2400 °C, respectively. ZM coating exhibited good ablation resistance at low heat flux, which benefited from the low evaporation of SiO2 and the diffusion of Si derived from MoSi2 decomposition. However, bubble-burst event took place under high heat flux. The different ablation behaviors of ZrC-MoSi2 coating were analyzed, which might contribute to the application of ultra-high temperature ceramic coatings.

Seamless advancements in electronics industry resulted in high performance computing. These innovations lead to smaller electronics systems with higher heat fluxes than ever. However, shrinking nature of real estate for thermal management has created a need for more effective and compact cooling solutions. Novel cooling techniques have been of interest to solve the demand. One such technology that functions with the principle of creating vortex rings is called synthetic jets. The jets are meso-scale devices operating as zero-net-mass-flux principle by ingesting and ejection of high velocity working fluid from a single opening. These devices produce periodic jet streams, which may have peak velocities over 20 times greater than conventional, comparable size fan velocities. Those jets enhance heat transfer in both natural and forced convection significantly over bare and extended surfaces. Recognizing the heat transfer physics over surfaces require a fundamental understanding of the flow physics caused by micro fluid motion. A comprehensive computational and experimental study has been performed to understand the flow physics of a synthetic jet. Computational study has been performed via Fluent commercial software, while the experimental study has been performed by using Laser Doppler Anemometry. Since synthetic jets are typical sine-wave excited between 20 and 60 V range, they have an orifice peak velocity of over 60 m/s, resulting in a Reynolds number of 2000. CFD predictions on the vortex dipole location fall within 10% of the experimental measurement uncertainty band.

Plasma Spraying Process

Plasma spraying is a technique which is used to apply coatings to metallic substrates for a variety of purposes, including hardfacing, corrosion resistance and thermal barrier applications. Almost all of the applications of this somewhat esoteric fabrication technique involve materials in hostile environments and the integrity of the coatings is of paramount importance: the effects of process variables on such properties as adhesive strength, cohesive strength and hardness of the substrate/coating system, however, are poorly understood.Briefly, the plasma spraying process involves forming a hot plasma jet with a maximum flame temperature of approximately 20,000K and a gas velocity of about 40m/s. Into this jet the coating material is injected, in powder form, so it is heated and projected at the substrate surface. Relatively thick metallic or ceramic coatings may be speedily built up using this technique.

Interest in ceramics as thermal barrier coatings for hot components of turbine engines has increased rapidly over the last decade. The primary reason for this is the significant reduction in heat load and increased chemical inertness against corrosive species with the ceramic coating materials. Among other candidates, partially-stabilized zirconia is the focus of attention mainly because ot its low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient.The coatings were made by Garrett Turbine Engine Company. Ni-base super-alloy was used as the substrate and later a bond-coating with high Al activity was formed over it. The ceramic coatings, with a thickness of about 50 μm, were formed by EB-PVD in a high-vacuum chamber by heating the target material (ZrO2-20 w/0 Y2O3) above its evaporation temperaturef >3500 °C) with a high-energy beam and condensing the resulting vapor onto a rotating heated substrate. A heat treatment in an oxidizing environment was performed later on to form a protective oxide layer to improve the adhesion between the ceramic coating and substrate. Bulk samples were studied by utilizing a Scintag diffractometer and a JEOL JXA-840 SEM; examinations of cross-sectional thin-films of the interface region were performed in a Philips CM 30 TEM operating at 300 kV and for chemical analysis a KEVEX X-ray spectrometer (EDS) was used.
