Thermal stress management is a major factor in the design of an electronic package. Thermal mismatch among the assembled components induces thermal stresses within the device. Finite element technique is utilized for three dimensional thermal stress analysis of a transistor with a free convection cooling system. Heat transfer analysis is used to determine the temperature distribution throughout the package for a given operating temperature. The data are then used to determine package stresses. The results show the shear stress concentration is higher at the corner of the chip. These values were found to be lower compared to those using temperature cycle analysis. An alternative method of lowering shear stresses in the chip is suggested.

A numerical solution is presented for both the transient temperature and three-dimensional stress distribution in a railcar wheel resulting from a simulated emergency brake application. A computer program has been written for generating thermoelastic solutions applicable to wheels of arbitrary contour with temperature variations in both axial and radial directions. The results include the effect of shear stresses caused by the axial-radial temperature gradients and the high degree of boundary irregularity associated with this type of problem. The program has been validated by computing thermoelastic solutions for thin disks and long cylinders; the computed values being in good agreement with the closed form solutions. Currently, the computer program is being extended to general stress solutions corresponding to the transient temperature distributions obtained by simulated drag brake applications. When this work is completed, it will be possible to synthesize the thermal history of a railcar wheel and investigate the effects of wheel geometry in relation to thermal fatigue.

A high-pressure vane equipped with a realistic film-cooling configuration has been studied. The vane is characterized by the presence of multiple rows of fan-shaped holes along pressure and suction side while the leading edge is protected by a showerhead system of cylindrical holes. Steady three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations have been performed. A preliminary grid sensitivity analysis with uniform inlet flow has been used to quantify the effect of spatial discretization. Turbulence model has been assessed in comparison with available experimental data. The effects of the relative alignment between combustion chamber and high-pressure vanes are then investigated considering realistic inflow conditions in terms of hot spot and swirl. The inlet profiles used are derived from the EU-funded project TATEF2. Two different clocking positions are considered: the first one where hot spot and swirl core are aligned with passage and the second one where they are aligned with the leading edge. Comparisons between metal temperature distributions obtained from conjugate heat transfer simulations are performed evidencing the role of swirl in determining both the hot streak trajectory within the passage and the coolant redistribution. The leading edge aligned configuration is resulted to be the most problematic in terms of thermal load, leading to increased average and local vane temperature peaks on both suction side and pressure side with respect to the passage aligned case. A strong sensitivity of both injected coolant mass flow and heat removed by heat sink effect has also been highlighted for the showerhead cooling system.

This paper consists of two sections. The first section of the paper illustrates successful application of the improved approach developed by author to the endwall heat transfer data analysis in a low speed linear guide vane and in a curved duct. Effects of a three dimensional turbulent flow, a horseshoe vortex, a passage vortex, as well as an entry boundary layer thickness have been considered in both passages and as a result the common experimental correlation on a local heat transfer have been derived for the H/t = 1.0 ratio. All affected factors are presented as a superposition of the linear correction functions in the basic experimental correlation for a flat plate heat transfer. In the second section the common correlation is used as the reference correlation to establish effect of the span-to-pitch ratio on the endwall heat transfer in both passages. It was found that variation in the H/t ratio affects slightly the freestream velocity; the most important result which came from the heat transfer study is that in contrast to a curved duct a heat transfer rate in a blade passage is reduced while the H/t ratio decreases. Comparison of the experimental data obtained by the author with results of the two-dimensional heat transfer prediction confirms that it is very important to take a three-dimensional heat transfer nature into account in design of the endwall convective cooling system. It has been demonstrated that distinction between the results of two- and three dimensional approach to the endwall heat transfer can achieve up to 70% at the passage’s inlet area.

A modern gas turbine engine subjects the turbine rotor blade to severe thermal stress conditions. Thermal stresses constitute a major part of the state of stress in the blade. Improved blade design with optimum weight, long creep life and structural integrity necessitates more refined thermal stress analysis. In this work a plane blade profile is assumed to take the form of a second degree surface with constant curvatures. The general second degree polynomial allows all the six static equilibrium equations to be considered in evaluating the strained surface. The three dimensional state of stress is determined considering the lateral deformations of the blade profile. A numerical procedure is adopted to solve the non-linear simultaneous equations arising due to the self equilibrating thermal stress system. The results are close to that of original analysis. However, this procedure employs all the necessary equilibrium conditions and relaxes the constraints imposed due to the plane surface assumption to a lower level. The method of analysis is discussed in this paper.

During a flight, the steel plate attack wing–fuselage of an aircraft is subjected to cyclical thermal stress caused by flight altitude variation that could compromise the functionality of the plate. Thus, it is compulsory after a sequence of flights to evaluate the state of plate health. In this work, we propose a new dynamic model on the basis of the physical transmission of heat by conduction governed by a second-order parabolic partial differential equation with suitable initial and boundary conditions to analyze and forecast thermal stresses in the plate of a P64 OSCAR B airplane. Developing this model in the COMSOL Multi-Physics® environment, a finite-element technique was applied to achieve the thermal-stress map on the plate. The achieved results, equivalent to those obtained by a campaign of infrared thermographic experiment measurements (not yet used in the aeronautical industry), highlight the evolution of the thermal load of the steel plate attack wing–fuselage, adding evidence of possible incoming fatigue phenomena to identify in advance if the steel plate must be replaced.

The low pressure die casting machine has been used in industries because of its low-cost and high efficiency precision forming technique. In the low pressure die casting process is that the permanent die and filling systems are placed over the furnace containing the molten alloy. The filling of the cavity is obtained by forcing the molten metal, by means of a pressurized gas, to rise into a ceramic tube, which connects the die to the furnace. The ceramics tube, called stalk, has high temperature resistance and high corrosion resistance. However, attention should be paid to the thermal stress when the ceramics tube is dipped into the molten metal. It is important to reduce the risk of fracture that may happen due to the thermal stresses. To calculate the thermal stress, it is necessary to know the surface heat transfer coefficient when the ceramics tube dips into the molten metal. In this paper, therefore, the three-dimensional thermo-fluid analysis is performed to calculate surface heat transfer coefficient correctly. The finite element method is applied to calculate the thermal stresses when the tube is dipped into the crucible with varying dipping speeds and dipping directions. It is found that the thermal stress can be reduced by dipping slowly when the tube is dipped into the molten metal.

In this paper, the Cumulative Usage Factor (CUF) of a High Pressure Core Cooling System (HPCS) reactor nozzle of a Boiling Water Reactor was calculated. This fatigue damage has been caused by the sudden injection of cold water into the reactor vessel through such nozzle. For this purpose, a three-dimensional analysis was carried out. Accordingly, a transient heat transfer analysis was developed. The temperature distribution was determined. With this information, the stress analysis was carried out. The safe end was restricted to move along its axial direction and the forging end was free to expand axially and radially. The resultant stress field established the magnitude of the alternative stresses. In the last step, a fatigue analysis was developed. The most critical point is the junction of the nozzle with the thermal sleeve. The fatigue performance was evaluated during a period of sixty years. It was assumed that 1.5 cycles per year will take place. The fatigue curves of ASME code section III were used. The results showed that the Cumulative Usage Factor (CUF) vary with the temperature injection, being 0.4090 when the water injected was 4.44°C and 0.3797 when the water temperature was 37.77°C. Both of them were estimated for a period of 60 years of operation. Therefore, damage is reduced as the temperature of the injected water increases. Besides, it is advisable to at least follow the recommendations of the NUREG ́s 1800 and 1801 [1, 2]. In this way, the aging of the nozzle is adequately managed.

We deal with a transient thermal stress problem in an infinitely long circular cylinder due to a nonuniform heat supply in circumferential and longitudinal directions on its cylindrical surface. The analysis is developed using the Boussinesq-Papkovich functions. Numerical results are given for several forms of heat supply.

A high-pressure vane (HPV) equipped with a realistic film-cooling configuration has been studied. The vane is characterized by the presence of multiple rows of fan-shaped holes along pressure and suction side, while the leading edge (LE) is protected by a showerhead system of cylindrical holes.

A preliminary grid sensitivity analysis with uniform inlet flow has been used to quantify the effect of spatial discretization. Turbulence model has been assessed in comparison with available experimental data. The effects of the relative alignment between combustion chamber and HPVs are then investigated, considering realistic inflow conditions in terms of hot spot and swirl. The inlet profiles used are derived from the EU-funded project TATEF2. Two different clocking positions are considered: the first in which hot spot and swirl core are aligned with passage; and the second in which they are aligned with the LE. Comparisons between metal temperature distributions obtained from conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations are performed, evidencing the role of swirl in determining both the hot streak trajectory within the passage and the coolant redistribution. The LE aligned configuration is determined to be the most problematic in terms of thermal load, leading to increased average and local vane temperature peaks on both suction side and pressure side with respect to the passage-aligned case. A strong sensitivity to both injected coolant mass flow and heat removed by heat sink effect has also been highlighted for the showerhead cooling system.
