The present study examines the influence of heated, horizontal, and rotatable louvers on the convective and radiative heat transfer from a heated or cooled vertical isothermal surface. The system represents an irradiated Venetian blind adjacent to the indoor surface of a window. Detailed heat transfer results were obtained using a steady, laminar, two-dimensional, conjugate conduction/convection/radiation finite element model for two window temperatures (warm and cool compared to ambient) and irradiation levels, two louver to surface spacings, and three louver angles. The effect of the heated louvers on the heat transfer rate from the surface has been demonstrated.

The present study examines the influence of heated, horizontal, and rotateable louvers on the convective heat transfer from a heated or cooled vertical isothermal surface. The system represents an irradiated Venetian blind adjacent to the indoor surface of a window. Detailed temperature field and local surface flux data were obtained using a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for two window temperatures (warm and cool compared to ambient) and irradiation levels, two louver to plate spacings, and three louver angles. The results have been compared to a steady, laminar, two-dimensional, conjugate conduction/convection/radiation finite element model of this problem. The effect of the heated louvers on the heat transfer rate from the plate surface has been demonstrated and the results of the numerical study have been validated.

Abstract The present numerical study examines the influence of heated, horizontal, and rotateable louvers on the convective and radiative heat transfer from a hot or cold vertical isothermal surface. The system models absorption of solar energy in a Venetian blind adjacent to the indoor surface of a window. Building on previous analyses, a steady, laminar, two-dimensional, conjugate conduction / convection / radiation model of this problem has been developed, and solutions have been obtained using the finite element method. Validation of the model against existing solutions has been undertaken. Results were obtained for two window temperatures (warm and cool compared to ambient), two louver to plate spacings, and three louver angles. The results clearly demonstrate the effect of the model variables on heat transfer from the plate surface. With few exceptions, steady periodicity along the plate was clearly demonstrated. More importantly, increased independence of the results from the louver angle as louver to plate distance increased was demonstrated.

This paper first describes a variety of heat transfer which exists in cable’s discharge pipe laying process, and analyzes the entire heat transfer process of 10kV three core cable in a two-dimensional interface qualitatively according to the heat transfer ways. Meanwhile, a finite element model of 10kV three-core cable’s discharged pipe-laying is established, and its temperature field equations and boundary condition equations has been discussed. Finally, we get the heat transfer process of the three core cable’s pipe-laying discharged and a finite element model which can be applied to simulated calculation.

The present paper, describes a transient translating elasto-plastic thermo-mechanical finite element model to study 2-D frictional rolling contact. Frictional two-dimensional contact is simulated by repeatedly translating a non-uniform thermo-mechanical distribution across the surface of an elasto-plastic half space. The half space is represented by a two dimensional finite element mesh with appropriate boundaries. Calculations are for an elastic-perfectly plastic material and the selected thermo-physical properties are assumed to be temperature independent. The paper presents temperature variations, stress and plastic strain distributions and deformations. Residual tensile stresses are observed. The magnitude and depth of these stresses depends on 1) the temperature gradients and 2) the magnitudes of the normal and tangential tractions.
