Due to increasing demands on the efficiency of modern Otto and Diesel engines, turbochargers are subjected to higher temperatures. In consequence rotor speed and temperature gradients in transient operations are more severe and therefore thermal and centrifugal stresses increase. To determine the life cycle of turbochargers more precisely, the exact knowledge of the transient temperature distribution in the turbine wheel is essential. To assess these temperature distributions, experimental and numerical investigations on a turbocharger of a commercial vehicle were performed. For this purpose, four thermocouples were applied on the shaft and the turbine wheel. The measured temperatures are used to determine the boundary conditions for the numerical calculations and to validate the results. In the numerical investigations three methods are used to determine and to analyse the transient solid body temperature distribution in respect of the fluid. The methods are compared and evaluated using the measured data. Based on the calculations the transient temperature field is discussed and conclusions concerning to the thermal stresses are drawn.

Determination of temperature and thermal stresses distribution in power boiler elements with use inverse heat conduction method The following paper presents the method for solving one-dimensional inverse boundary heat conduction problems. The method is used to estimate the unknown thermal boundary condition on inner surface of a thick-walled Y-branch. Solution is based on measured temperature transients at two points inside the element's wall thickness. Y-branch is installed in a fresh steam pipeline in a power plant in Poland. Determination of an unknown boundary condition allows for the calculation of transient temperature distribution in the whole element. Next, stresses caused by non-uniform transient temperature distribution and by steam pressure inside a Y-branch are calculated using the finite element method. The proposed algorithm can be used for thermal-strength state monitoring in similar elements, when it is not possible to determine a 3-D thermal boundary condition. The calculated temperature and stress transients can be used for the calculation of element durability. More accurate temperature and stress monitoring will contribute to a substantial decrease of maximal stresses that occur during transient start-up and shut-down processes.

The most important problems encountered in power plants are related to cold start-up, hot start-up, daily and seasonal variation in load. These problems are specially critical for high power units above 525°C and 10.5 MN/m2. As a result of higher thermal capacity of the thicker components in larger power units, the temperature gradient and thermal stresses assumed much higher values. It is, therefore, particularly important during transient operation conditions to know the temperature distribution and thermal stresses of rotors. One of the most common concerns is how fast can a turbine be started without significant damage. If the turbine is loaded very rapidly, high temperature gradient and excessive thermal stresses can easily damage the machine. A concept was developed whereby an on-line computer was used to control the start-up and load variation operations of the turbine. The feasibility of such concept depends upon the knowledge of the instantaneous temperature distribution and thermal stresses of the turbine rotors. This paper presents a 2-D mathematical model of the transient temperature distribution as well as thermal stresses of the rotor. The mathematical model was simulated in the computer and ADI method was used for the solution of the governing equations. Discussions will be made of the procedure of coupling this mathematical model with on-line computer for optimum control of start-up and load variation schedule.

This paper contains an exact solution for the transient temperature distribution, as well as for the accompanying quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations, which arise in an infinitely long elastic circular shaft if its surface temperature undergoes a sudden uniform change over a finite band between two cross sections and is steadily maintained thereafter. The solution given is in the form of definite integrals and infinite series, whose convergence is discussed. Extensive illustrative numerical results are included.

The photothermoelastic method of refrigeration has been used to study the problem of a long beam under transient temperature distribution and good correlation with the theoretical values has been obtained. The new technique for three-dimensional photothermoelasticity, which uses a composite model made of photoelastically sensitive and insensitive materials, is suggested for the analysis of idealized wing-rib structures.

Abstract We have developed optical-interference contactless thermometry (OICT) imaging technique to visualize three-dimensional transient temperature distribution in 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) under operation. When a 1 ms forward pulse bias was applied, clear variation of optical interference fringes induced by self-heating and cooling were observed. Thermal diffusion and optical analysis revealed three-dimensional temperature distribution with high spatial (≤ 10 μm) and temporal (≤ 100 μs) resolutions. A hot spot that signals breakdown of the SBD was successfully captured as an anormal interference, which indicated a local heating to a temperature as high as 805 K at the time of failure.
