Ti-6AL-4V is widely used in the industry for the high strength-to-weight ratio at elevated temperature, its excellent resistance to fracture and corrosion, and biological properties. However, Ti-6AL-4V is hard to manufacture for its reactive chemical properties and low thermal conductivity that causes high temperature on the tool surface. Prediction of the tool temperature distribution from different manufacturing ways, up and down milling, has great significance in predicting tool wear pattern (cutting speed, feed/tooth, and axial depth of cut) in corner milling on temperature of the tool rake face. The tool material used is general carbide and Johnson-Cook plastic model is utilized to model the behavior of the workpiece Ti-6AL-4V. A separate Abaqus heat transfer model is used to analyze the heat transfer process after the tooth disengages the workpiece and before it engages the workpiece again to predict change of temperature distribution during this cooling process. The comparison of the up milling and down milling on the tool temperature is conducted.

Ti-6Al-4V is widely used in industry because of its high strength-to-weight ratio at elevated temperatures, its excellent resistance to fracture and corrosion, and biological properties. However, Ti-6Al-4V is classified as hard-to-cut material because of its high chemical reactivity with most tool materials and its low thermal conductivity that causes high temperature on the tool face. Consequently, prediction of the tool temperature distribution has great significance in predicting tool wear pattern. In this research, Finite Element Method (FEM) is employed to conduct numerical investigation of the effects of cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed/tooth, and axial depth of cut) in corner up milling on temperature of the tool rake face. The tool material used is general carbide and the behavior of the workpiece Ti-6Al-4V is described by using Johnson-Cook plastic model. Because of the computational expense, a separate heat transfer model is built to analyze the heat transfer process after the tooth disengages the workpiece and before it engages the workpiece again to predict change of temperature distribution during this cooling process. This research provides helpful guidance for selecting tool cooling strategies in up milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

In this study a heat transfer model of machining of Ti-6Al-4V under the application of atomization-based cutting fluid spray coolant is developed to predict the temperature of the cutting tool. Owing to high tool temperature involved in machining of Ti-6Al-4V, the model considers film boiling as the major heat transfer phenomenon. In addition, the design parameters of the spray for effective cooling during machining are derived based on droplet-surface interaction model. Machining experiments are conducted and the temperatures are recorded using the inserted thermocouple technique. The experimental data are compared with the model predictions. The temperature field obtained is comparable to the experimental results, confirming that the model predicts tool temperature during machining with ACF spray cooling satisfactorily.

Radiant floor cooling systems are increasingly used in practice. The temperature distribution on the floor surface and inside the floor structure, especially the minimum and average temperature of floor surface, determines the thermal performance of radiant floor systems. A good temperature distribution of the floor structure is very important to prevent occupant discomfort and avoid possible condensation in summer cooling. In this study, based on the heat transfer model of the single-layer homogeneous floor structure when there is no internal heat radiation in the room, this paper proposes a heat transfer model of single-layer floor radiant cooling systems when the room has internal heat radiation. Using separation variable methods, an analytical solution was developed to estimate temperature distribution of typical radiant floor cooling systems with internal heat radiation, which can be used to calculate the minimum temperature and the average temperature of typical composite floor structure. The analytical solution was validated by experiments. The values of the measured experiments are in a good agreement with the calculations. The absolute error between the calculated and the measured floor surface temperatures was within 0.45°C. The maximum relative error was within 2.31%. Prove that this model can be accepted. The proposed method can be utilized to calculate the cooling capacity of a typical multi-layer composite floor and will be developed in the future study for design of a typical radiant floor cooling system.

Heterogeneous integration in microelectronic systems using interposer technology has attracted significant research attention in the past few years. Interposer technology is based on stacking of several heterogeneous chips on a common carrier substrate, also referred to as the interposer. Compared to other technologies such as System-on-Chip (SoC) or System-in-Package (SiP), interposer-based integration offers several technological advantages. However, the thermal management of an interposer-based system is not well understood. The presence of multiple heat sources in various die and the interposer itself needs to be accounted for in any effective thermal model. While a finite-element based simulation may provide a reasonable temperature prediction tool, an analytical solution is highly desirable for understanding the fundamentals of the heat transfer process in interposers. In this paper, we describe our recent work on analytical modeling of heat transfer in interposer-based microelectronic systems. The basic governing energy conservation equations are solved to derive analytical expressions for the temperature distribution in an interposer-based microelectronic system. These solutions are combined with an iterative approach to provide the three-dimensional temperature field in an interposer. Results are in excellent agreement with finite-element solutions. The analytical model is utilized to study the effect of various parameters on the temperature field in an interposer system. Results from this work may be helpful in the thermal design of microelectronic systems containing interposers.

Abstract The heat conduction performance of the methanol synthesis reactor is significant for the development of large-scale methanol production. The present work has measured the temperature distribution in the fixed bed at air volumetric flow rate 2.4–7 m3 · h−1, inlet air temperature 160–200°C and heating tube temperature 210–270°C. The effective radial thermal conductivity and effective wall heat transfer coefficient were derived based on the steady-state measurements and the two-dimensional heat transfer model. A correlation was proposed based on the experimental data, which related well the Nusselt number and the effective radial thermal conductivity to the particle Reynolds number ranging from 59.2 to 175.8. The heat transfer model combined with the correlation was used to calculate the temperature profiles. A comparison with the predicated temperature and the measurements was illustrated and the results showed that the predication agreed very well with the experimental results. All the absolute values of the relative errors were less than 10%, and the model was verified by experiments. Comparing the correlations of both this work with previously published showed that there are considerable discrepancies among them due to different experimental conditions. The influence of the particle Reynolds number on the temperature distribution inside the bed was also discussed and it was shown that improving particle Reynolds number contributed to enhance heat transfer in the fixed bed.

Titanium alloys are being widely used in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries because of their good strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. Surface roughness is one of the most important requirements in machining of Titanium alloys. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in end milling of Ti6Al4V. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated. The developed RSM is coupled as a fitness function with genetic algorithm to predict the optimum cutting conditions leading to the least surface roughness value. MATLAB 7.0 toolbox for GA is used to develop GA program. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to achieve the minimum surface roughness value.

The heat produced in the nuclear reactor due to fission reaction must be kept in control or else it will damage the components in the reactor core. Nuclear plants are using water for the operation dissipation of heat. Instead, some chemical substances which have higher heat transfer coefficient and high thermal conductivity. This experiment aims to find out how efficiently a nanofluid can dissipate heat from the reactor vault. The most commonly used nanofluid is Al2O3 nanoparticle with water or ethylene as base fluid. The Al2O3 has good thermal property and it is easily available. In addition, it can be stabilized in various PH levels. The nanofluid is fed into the reactor?s coolant circuit. The various temperature distribution leads to different characteristic curve that occurs on various valve condition leading to a detailed study on how temperature distribution carries throughout the cooling circuit. As a combination of Al2O3 as a nanoparticle and therminol 55 as base fluid are used for the heat transfer process. The Al2O3 nanoparticle is mixed in therminol 55 at 0.05 vol.% concentration. Numerical analysis on the reactor vault model was carried out by using ABAQUS and the experimental results were compared with numerical results.

A heat transfer model that can predict the temperature distribution in moving flexible composite materials (webs) for various heating/cooling conditions is developed in this paper. Heat transfer processes are widely employed in roll-to-roll (R2R) machines that are used to perform processing operations, such as printing, coating, embossing, and lamination, on a moving flexible material. The goal is to efficiently transport the webs over heating/cooling rollers and ovens within such processes. One of the key controlled variables in R2R transport is web tension. When webs are heated or cooled during transport, the temperature distribution in the web causes changes in the mechanical and physical material properties and induces thermal strain. Tension behavior is affected by these changes and thermal strain. To determine thermal strain and material property changes, one requires the distribution of temperature in moving webs. A multilayer heat transfer model for composite webs is developed in this paper. Based on this model, temperature distribution in the moving web is obtained for the web transported on a heat transfer roller and in a web span between two adjacent rollers. Boundary conditions that reflect many types of heating/cooling of webs are considered and discussed. Thermal contact resistance between the moving web and heat transfer roller surfaces is considered in the derivation of the heat transfer model. Model simulations are conducted for a section of a production R2R coating and fusion process line, and temperature data from these simulations are compared with measured data obtained at key locations within the process line. In addition to determining thermal strain in moving webs, the model is valuable in the design of heating/cooling sources required to obtain a certain desired temperature at a specific location within the process line. Further, the model can be used in determining temperature dependent parameters and the selection of operating conditions such as web speed.

With the purpose of enhancement of heat transfer performance and reduction of the volume of steam generator (SG), a structure of longitudinal finned tubes was proposed to replace the smooth tubes of SG in this paper. Taking the SG smooth tubes of Daya bay Nuclear Power plant as a reference, the simplified heat transfer model of new longitudinal finned tubes was established by ANSYS CFX. Three-dimensional numerical model was developed to investigate the fluid-solid coupled thermal hydraulic characteristics of different types of the longitudinal finned tubes compared with the smooth tubes. Analysis of calculation results were sufficiently discussed for the effect of mass flow rate, fin array, solid thermal conductivity and frictional resistance. The numerical results revealed that the heat transfer coefficient increase with the increasing mass flow rate in the secondary side. The material of the tubes has significantly influence on the heat transfer process. Different flow conditions have different thermal hydraulic characteristics. The evaluated criterion to judge the enhancement of the heat transfer of the coupled process was also proposed. The numerical results can provide some useful guidance for design optimization of longitudinal finned tubes in SG.
