The thermohydrodynamic (THD) performance of finite inclined-plane slider bearings is studied. The fluid film momentum, continuity, and energy equations are coupled to the heat-conduction equations for the bearing solids, and solved numerically. The effect of bearing geometry, oil type, and inlet temperature on bearing performance is shown. The manner in which environmental temperature and heat transfer considerations influence the fluid film behavior is studied.

The thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) behavior of a finite inclined-plane slider bearing is studied. The fluid film momentum, continuity, and energy equations are coupled to the heat conduction equations and the elasticity equations of the solid, and solved numerically. The elastic and thermal distortions of the solid as well as the variation of fluid properties with temperature are considered in the analysis. Several models for the bearing solids are treated.

In order to fully understand the energy and exergy transfer processes in sinter vertical coolers, a simulation model of the fluid flow and heat transfer in a vertical cooler was established, and energy and exergy efficiency analyses of the gas–solid heat transfer in a vertical cooler were conducted in detail. Based on the calculation method of the whole working condition, the suitable operational parameters of the vertical cooler were obtained by setting the net exergy efficiency in the vertical cooler as the indicator function. The results show that both the quantity of sinter waste heat recovery (SWHR) and energy efficiency increased as the air flow rate (AFR) increased, and they decreased as the air inlet temperature (AIT) increased. The increase in the sinter inlet temperature (SIT) resulted in an increase in the quantity of SWHR and a decrease in energy efficiency. The air net exergy had the maximum value as the AFR increased, and it only increased monotonically as the SIT and AIT increased. The net exergy efficiency reached the maximum value as the AFR and AIT increased, and the increase in the SIT only resulted in a decrease in the net exergy efficiency. When the sinter annual production of a 360 m2 sintering machine was taken as the processing capacity of the vertical cooler, the suitable operational parameters of the vertical cooler were 190 kg/s for the AFR, and 353 K for the AIT.

The results are presented from a numerical finite-difference method of calculation for the transient behavior of porous media when subjected to a step change in fluid temperature considering the case where the longitudinal thermal heat conduction cannot be neglected. These results, given in tabular and graphical form, provide a useful means for evaluating the heat-transfer data obtained from the transient testing of compact heat-exchanger surfaces.

The results of heat transfer to supercritical water flowing upward in a vertical annular channel (1-rod channel) and tight 3-rod bundle consisting of the tubes of 5.2-mm outside diameter and 485-mm heated length are presented. The heat-transfer data were obtained at pressures of 22.5, 24.5, and 27.5 MPa, mass flux within the range from 800 to 3000 kg/m2·s, inlet temperature from 125 to 352°C, outlet temperature up to 372°C and heat flux up to 4.6 MW/m2 (heat flux rate up to 2.5 kJ/kg). Temperature regimes of the annular channel and 3-rod bundle were stable and easily reproducible within the whole range of the mass and heat fluxes, even when a deteriorated heat transfer took place. The data resulted from the study could be applicable for a reference estimation of heat transfer in future designs of fuel bundles.
