A finite difference (two-dimensional) model developed to describe the heat flow at low strain rates (0.08–1.5 s−1) and low reduction (∼10 per cent) for a hot flat rolled slab both during air cooling and during roll contact has been used in conjunction with experimentally measured temperatures through specimen thickness during roll contact after reheating to temperatures in the range 1000–1200°C for mild steel, low carbon SS316 and high carbon SS316 (with Nb, V and Ti). At high strain rates (∼1.5 s−1) a steep temperature gradient was produced in the specimen near the surface whereas for low strain rates (∼0.08 s−1) this temperature gradient penetrated deep into the thickness, leading to a large drop in the mean rolling temperature. Roll chilling, leading to higher values of the Zener-Holloman parameter, Z, resulted from a decrease in the mean rolling temperature and the large temperature gradient during roll contact. Temperature changes due to material composition, reheating temperature, contact time and rolling conditions led to precipitation strengthening and roll chilling effects which have accounted for the excess load and torque observed experimentally and industrially.

Numerical estimation of rolling load and torque often showed large discrepancies when compared with experimental values. This was attributed to difficulty in estimating the mean rolling temperature from the available data. This work is thus directed at obtaining a good estimate for the mean rolling temperature which can effectively be used for load and torque estimates. Hot flat rolling stimulation by use of the Bland and Ford’s cold rolling (HRBF) theory confirmed the reverse sandwich effect in selected carbon steels at low strain rates. In this work, the effect of pass reduction on rolling temperature distribution, yield stress and rolling load were studied for AISI Type 316 stainless steel (HSCSS316). For this new simulation, at low and high strain rates, results showed that the ratio of experimental to calculated rolling load and torque were higher at lower reduction than at higher reduction. These results confirmed excess load and torque in the hot rolling of HSCSS316 low reductions. The results obtained from Hot Rolling Bland and Ford’s Theory based on Root Mean Square rolling temperature were in good agreement with values obtained using Reverse Sandwich Model and the Reverse Sandwich- Hot Rolling Bland and Ford’s Program under the same rolling conditions.

There is a perception among the inhabitants of the Aburrá Valley Region, that this heavily populated region, situated in the Andean mountains of Colombia, has been suffering large temperature elevations in the last years, especially in the last decade. To give perspective about this issue, the authors have gone through the available information about temperature changes in three meteorological stations in the region and have correlated it with a set of variables of urban, climatic and energetic nature, with the intention of developing an approximate model to understand the temperature changes. Changes in the mean temperature, based on the linear correlation of the data were estimated on 0.47oC for the 20 years between 1995 and 2015; the study showed that 60% of change was found to be related to local human activities and 40% was attributed to the impact of global warming. For the local influences some practical mitigation actions are proposed, related to improve the energy management and paying more attention to the temperature changes trough improvements in the number and capability of sampling stations in the urban air and in the river, which serve as clear indicators of the changes and the effect of any mitigation measures.

Abstract. Simulations from a multi-model ensemble for the RCP4.5 climate change scenario for the 21st century, and for two solar radiation management (SRM) schemes (stratospheric sulfate injection (G3), SULF and marine cloud brightening by sea salt emission SALT) have been analysed in terms of changes in the mean and extremes of surface air temperature and precipitation. The climate engineering and termination periods are investigated. During the climate engineering period, both schemes, as intended, offset temperature increases by about 60 % globally, but are more effective in the low latitudes and exhibit some residual warming in the Arctic (especially in the case of SALT which is only applied in the low latitudes). In both climate engineering scenarios, extreme temperature changes are similar to the mean temperature changes over much of the globe. The exceptions are the mid- and high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, where high temperatures (90th percentile of the distribution) of the climate engineering period compared to RCP4.5 control period rise less than the mean, and cold temperatures (10th percentile), much more than the mean. This aspect of the SRM schemes is also reflected in simulated reduction in the frost day frequency of occurrence for both schemes. However, summer day frequency of occurrence increases less in the SALT experiment than the SULF experiment, especially over the tropics. Precipitation extremes in the two SRM scenarios act differently – the SULF experiment more effectively mitigates extreme precipitation increases over land compared to the SALT experiment. A reduction in dry spell occurrence over land is observed in the SALT experiment. The SULF experiment has a slight increase in the length of dry spells. A strong termination effect is found for the two climate engineering schemes, with large temperature increases especially in the Arctic. Globally, SULF is more effective in reducing extreme temperature increases over land than SALT. Extreme precipitation increases over land is also more reduced in SULF than the SALT experiment. However, globally SALT decreases the frequency of dry spell length and reduces the occurrence of hot days compared to SULF.

Different methods of obtaining averages have been used to determine mean rolling temperatures from measured temperatures of various specimens during roll contact in hot flat rolling. The obtained mean rolling temperatures were used in turn in hot rolling simulation programs based on Sims, and Bland and Ford’s theories for calculating rolling loads and torque during hot flat rolling of steels at low strain rates (0.08 – 1.5 s-1). The hot rolling Bland and Ford’s (HRBF) Theory and Sim’s Theory gave similar results when any of the averaging methods of temperature is used to calculate rolling load and torque at high strain rates (1.5 –500s-1). However at low strain rates HRBF gave closer approximations to experimental results. Comparing the results with experimental values, the harmonic mean was found to give the best mean rolling temperature for hot flat rolling simulation at low strain rates compared to geometric mean, arithmetic mean and root mean square.

The tempered microstructure and the creep behaviour were studied in an ultra low carbon 9%Cr martensitic creep resistant steel. The starting material was forged at 1050°C followed by air cooling and then tempered at a temperature of 750°C for 3 hours. This treatment resulted in the mean transverse lath size of about 240 nm; the dislocation density in lath interiors comprised 4 × 1014 m-2. The tempered martensite lath structure (TMLS) is characterised by homogeneous precipitation of numerous MX-type carbonitrides and a small amount of relatively coarse M23C6–type carbides. Three kinds of MX carbonitrides were observed in the tempered lath martensite structure. Those were plate-shaped particles with longitudinal size of about 15 nm and thickness of 3 nm; round-shaped particles of about 10 nm in diameter; and relatively large almost equiaxed particles with mean size of about 90 nm. The large MX particles were resulted from incomplete dissolution of such carbonitrides at 1050°C, while the nanoscale particles homogeneously precipitated during the tempering. The creep tests conducted at 650°C showed that the studied steel demonstrated superior creep resistance. Namely, the rupture time was about an order as long as that for P92-type creep resistant steel.

This paper investigates the energy exchanges associated with the half-trace of the velocity fluctuation correlation tensor in a strongly anisothermal low Mach fully developed turbulent channel flow. The study is based on direct numerical simulations of the channel within the low Mach number hypothesis and without gravity. The overall flow behaviour is governed by the variable fluid properties. The temperature of the two channel walls are imposed at 293 K and 586 K to generate the temperature gradient. The mean friction Reynolds number of the simulation is 180. The analysis is carried out in the spatial and spectral domains. The spatial and spectral studies use the same decomposition of the terms of the evolution equation of the half-trace of the velocity fluctuation correlation tensor. The importance of each term of the decomposition in the energy exchanges is assessed. This lets us identify the terms associated with variations or fluctuations of the fluid properties that are not negligible. Then, the behaviour of the terms is investigated. The spectral energy exchanges are first discussed in the incompressible case since the analysis is not present in the literature with the decomposition used in this study. The modification of the energy exchanges by the temperature gradient is then investigated in the spatial and spectral domains. The temperature gradient generates an asymmetry between the two sides of the channel. The asymmetry can in a large part be explained by the combined effect of the mean local variations of the fluid properties, combined with a Reynolds number effect.

If the temperature in an insulating crystal decreases in the z-direction, there are more phonons with momentum qz > 0 than with qz < 0. The resulting difference between the Stokes and anti-Stokes Brillouin intensities is proportional to the mean free path of the phonon involved and to the temperature gradient. The effect should be observable by either neutron or photon scattering.

Abstract Paraffin deposition is a common challenge for production facilities globally where production fluid/process surface temperature cools down and reach below the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of the oil. Although chemical treatment is used widely for suitable mitigation of wax deposition, conventional test methods like cold finger often fail to recommend the right product for the field. The current study will present development of two new technologies PARA-Window and Dynamic Paraffin Deposition Cell (DPDC)to address such limitations. Large temperature gradient between bulk oil and cold surface has been identified as a major limitation of cold finger. To address this, PARA-Window has been developed to capture the paraffin deposition at a more realistic temperature gradient (5°C) between the bulk oil and surface temperature using a NIR optical probe. Absence of brine and lack of shear has been identified as another limitation of cold finger technique. DPDC has been developed to study paraffin deposition and chemical effectiveness in presence of brine. Specially designed cells are placed horizontally inside a shaker bath to achieve good mixing between oil and water for DPDC application. A prior study by Russell et al., (2019) showed the effectiveness of PARA-Window in capturing deposition phenomena of higher molecular weight paraffin chains that resemble closely to field deposits under narrow temperature gradient around WAT. Conventional test methods fail to capture meaningful product differentiation in most oils under such conditions and hence can only recommend a crystal modifier type of paraffin chemistries. PARA-Window technique can expand product selection to other type of paraffin chemistries (paraffin crystal modifiers, dispersants and solvents) as shown earlier by Russell et al., (2021). The usage of DPDC allows us to create a dynamic mixing condition inside the test cells with both oil and water under a condition similar to production pipe systems. This allows DPDC to assess water effect on paraffin chemistries (crystal modifiers and dispersants). This study presents the usage of these two new technologies to screen performance of different types of paraffin chemistries on select oils and their advantages over cold finger. The results identify how mimicking field conditions using these new technologies can capture new insights into paraffin products.
