In this paper, the thermal stress characteristics of the pipe-in-pipe (PIP) system under high temperature condition are analyzed. The PIP is a type of pipe applied in sodium-cooled faster reactor (SFR) and has a different geometry from a single pipe. In particular, under the high temperature condition of the SFR, the high thermal stress is generated due to the temperature gradient occurring between the inner pipe and outer pipe. To investigate the thermal stress characteristics, three cases are considered according to geometry of the support. The fully constrained support and intermediate support are considered for case 1 and 2, respectively. For case 3, both supports are applied to the actual curved pipe. The finite element (FE) analyses are performed in two steps for each case. Firstly, the heat transfer analysis is carried out considering the thermal conduction, convection and radiation conditions. From the heat transfer analysis, the temperature distribution results in the piping system are obtained. Secondly, the structural analysis is performed considering the temperature distribution results and boundary conditions. Finally, the effects of the geometric characteristics on the thermal stress in the PIP system are analyzed.

Temperature distributions and thermal stress distributions in a semi-transparent GSO crystal during Czochralski (CZ) single crystal growth were numerically investigated by thermal radiation heat transfer analysis and anisotropy stress analysis. As GSO has special optical properties, such as semi-transparency at a wavelength shorter than 4.5 μm, thermal radiation heat transfer was calculated by the Monte Carlo method. These calculations showed that thermal stress is caused by the radial temperature distribution on the outside of the upper part of the crystal. To reduce this temperature distribution, the following three manufacturing conditions were found to be effective: use a sharp taper angle of the crystal, install a lid to the top of the insulator, and install a ring around the tapered part of the crystal.

Bridge tower, time-varying temperature field, heat transfer analysis, finite element model. Abstract. Long span suspension bridges are subjected to daily, seasonal and yearly environmental thermal effects induced by solar radiation and ambient air temperature. This paper aims to investigate the temperature distribution of a tower of a long span suspension bridge. Two-dimensional heat transfer models are utilized to determine the time-dependent temperature distribution of the bridge tower of the bridge. The solar radiation model is utilized to examine the time-varying temperature distribution. Finite element models are constructed for the bridge tower to compute the temperature distribution. The numerical models can successfully predict the structural temperature field at different time. The methodology employed in the paper can be applied to other long-span bridges as well.

(1) Background: Microwave ablation (MWA) is a common tumor ablation surgery. Because of the high temperature of the ablation antenna, it is strongly destructive to surrounding vital tissues, resulting in high professional requirements for clinicians. The method used to carry out temperature observation and damage prediction in MWA is significant; (2) Methods: This work employs numerical study to explore temperature distribution of typical tissues in MWA. Firstly, clinical MWA based on isolated biological tissue is implemented. Then, the Pennes models and microwave radiation physics are established based on experimental parameters and existing related research. Initial values and boundary conditions are adjusted to better meet the real clinical materials and experimental conditions. Finally, clinical MWA data test this model. On the premise that the model is matched with clinical MWA, fat and bone are deduced for further heat transfer analysis. (3) Results: Numerical study obtains the temperature distribution of biological tissue in MWA. It observes the heat transfer law of ablation antenna in biological tissue. Additionally, combined with temperature threshold, it generates thermal damage of biological tissues and predicts the possible risks in MWA; (4) Conclusions: This work proposes a numerical study of typical biological tissues.

Hemp-lime composite is a thermal insulating material used as a filling in timber frame construction walls. It is a material based on the wooden part of industrial hemp stalk (hemp shives) and lime binder. In practice, different wall thicknesses, composites with different thermal properties and various configurations of timber structure are used. These factors affect the temperature distribution in the wall. In the thermally weaker areas of walls, there is a greater risk of condensation and mould growth. This issue is important while designing walls based on organic materials. The paper presents the two-dimensional (2D) heat-transfer analysis based on the finite-element method, using THERM software. Several variants of external walls were adopted for the analysis. Thermal parameters of hemp-lime composites used in the analysis were obtained from our own research. The results of the analysis were presented as the values of the thermal transmittance coefficient and linear thermal transmittance equivalent to timber construction. The temperature distribution for an exemplary wall was also shown graphically in the form of isotherms and colour-flooded isotherms.

In fluid-assisted injection molding, the distribution of the residual wall thickness on the inside and outside of the curved area is different, and void is formed due to the effect of the shrinkage on the outside where the residual wall thickness is thicker. The shrinkage that takes place in the residual wall is affected by the rheological changes in the polymer caused by temperature change and also by the thermal properties of the penetration fluid. In this study, the different effects on void formation in residual wall during fluid-assisted injection molding were analyzed, and water and silicone oil that had different thermal properties were used for the fluids. For this, heat transfer analysis and injection molding analysis were conducted. The void formation occurred due to the different temperature distribution and volumetric shrinkage in the direction of the residual wall in the curved area with a hollow section. It was also found that the void formation in the curved area decreased in the case of silicone oil compared to the case of water from simulation and experiments.

Numerical and experimental investigations of autogenous plasma arc welding of thin titanium alloy of 2 mm thick and modelling the temperature distribution for predicting the weld bead geometry are presented. The finite element code COMSOL Multiphysics is employed to perform non-linear unsteady heat transfer analysis using parabolic Gaussian heat source. Temperature-dependent material properties such as thermal conductivity, density and specific heat are used to enhance the efficiency of simulation process. A forced convective heat transfer coefficient was used to account for the effect of convection. The experimental trials were conducted by varying the welding speed and current using Fronius plasma arc welding equipment. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

A numerical study of a single can combustor for the GE10 heavy-duty gas turbine, which is being developed at GE-Energy (Oil & Gas), is performed using the STAR-CD CFD package. The topic of the present study is the analysis of the cooling system of the combustor liner’s upper part, named “cap”. The study was developed in three steps, using two different computational models. As first model, the flow field and the temperature distribution inside the chamber were determined by meshing the inner part of the liner. As second model, the impingement cooling system of the cold side of the cap was meshed to evaluate heat transfer distribution. For the reactive calculations, a closure of the BML (Bray-Moss-Libby) approach based on Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov theorem was used. The model was implemented in the STAR-CD code using its user coding features. Then the radiative thermal load on the liner walls was evaluated by means of the STAR-CD-native Discrete Transfer model. The selection of the radiative properties of the flame was performed using a correlation procedure involving the total emissivity of the gas, the mean beam length and the gas temperature. The estimated heat flux on the cap was finally used as boundary condition for the calculation of the cooling system, consisting of 68 staggered impingement jet lines on the cold side of the cap. The resulting temperature distribution shows a good agreement with the experimental values measured by thermocouples. The results confirm the validity of the implemented procedure, and point out the importance of a full CFD computation as an additional tool to support classic correlation design procedures.

The Fin act as dissipiating elements, selection of proper geometry plays crusial role in increasing the rate of heat transfer and performance of the system. This work has been undertaken to investigate and compare thermal performance of solid and hollow pin-fin. Heat transfer analysis of solid and hollow pin fin carried and the results was compared with the experimental results. experiment was conducted to analyze the natural convection around solid hollow pin fin, and compare thermal performance of hollow pin fin with the solid pin fin of same dimension and orientation. The experimental result of temperature distribution shows that the faster temperature drop along the length. The high value of convective heat transfer in the initial phase due to which faster temperature drop takes place. Convection is found to be dominating due to less area for conduction along the length. Theoretical value and experimental value are close to each for temperature distribution as well the convective heat transfer coefficient. Efficiency is reduced in the case of hollow fin but the effectiveness of the hollow pin fin is increased by 1.76 times from an economical point of view, holoow pin fin is more efficient solution.
