Abstract For the determination of heat transfer coefficients in air-water spray cooling, two methods are presented that are capable of characterizing multi-nozzle cooling set-ups. The methods are based on the quenching of thin-walled tubes or massive cylinders on which cooling curves are recorded at given positions with thermocouples. The temperature dependent heat transfer coefficients were calculated by an inverse calculation and the measured temperature-time-curves could be reproduced with these data in numerical cooling simulations. Next, the determined heat transfer coefficients were used for the calculation of an air-water-spray quenching process of a forging part with more challenging geometry. The calculated results were compared with thermocouple measurements. Different calculation variants for the heat transfer on component surfaces not directly exposed to the air-water spray are shown and discussed. ◼

Abstract Heat transfer characteristics of water spray cooling with n-butanol additive were experimentally studied in this paper. The results indicated that adding n-butanol can effectively enhance the heat dissipation and control the surface temperature. The optimal concentration of n-butanol corresponding to the best heat transfer performance is 0.5 vol%. The experimental Nusselt numbers also agree well with a previous correlation with Weber, Prandtl, Jacob and Reynolds numbers, evidenced by a maximum absolute error of 6.34%. The measurement also showed that the decrease of surface tension and contact angle of the n-butanol-water mixture is the main mechanism to enhance the spray cooling heat transfer, while other physical properties also play an important role. The surface temperature non-uniformity in the radial direction is more apparent at a high heat flux while the addition of different contents of n-butanol has a negligible effect.

This paper investigates the effects of gear geometry, rotational speed and applied load, as well as lubrication conditions on surface temperature of high-speed gear teeth. The analytical approach and procedure for estimating frictional heat flux and heat transfer coefficients of gear teeth in high-speed operational conditions was developed and accounts for the effect of oil mist as a cooling medium. Numerical simulations of tooth temperature based on finite element analysis were established to investigate temperature distributions and variations over a range of applied load and rotational speed, which compared well with experimental measurements. A sensitivity analysis of surface temperature to gear configuration, frictional heat flux, heat transfer coefficients, and oil and ambient temperatures was conducted and the major parameters influencing surface temperature were evaluated.

The heat transfer boundary conditions used in the RELAP5-3D computer program have evolved over the years. Currently, RELAP5-3D has the following options for the heat transfer boundary conditions: (a) heat transfer correlation package option, (b) non-convective option (from radiation/conduction enclosure model or symmetry/insulated conditions), and (c) other options (setting the surface temperature to a volume fraction averaged fluid temperature of the boundary volume, obtaining the surface temperature from a control variable, obtaining the surface temperature from a time-dependent general table, obtaining the heat flux from a time-dependent general table, or obtaining heat transfer coefficients from either a time- or temperature-dependent general table). These options will be discussed, including the more recent ones.

Abstract The desired mechanical properties of the nickel-based or titanium forgings used in gas turbines for aircraft and power generation applications can be controlled by varying the rate of cooling from the so-called solution temperature during an initial heat treatment process. The use of dilute air-water spray cooling of these forgings is a technique which can provide heat transfer rates lying between those associated with conventional oil quenching or convective air-cooling. Air assisted atomisation can result in fine sprays over a wide range of water flow rates and it has a further advantage in that the air “sweeps” the surface and hence helps to prevent the build up of deleterious vapour films at high surface temperatures. The paper presents experimental data for the heat transfer rates associated with the use of these sprays to cool surfaces from temperatures of approximately 800°C. Many forgings contain surface recesses, which can lead to build up or “pooling” of the water so that the effect of variations in surface geometry is also reported. Periodic interruption of the water flow is a technique which can be employed to provide additional control of the heat transfer rate, particularly at temperatures below 500°C so that data is also presented for pulsed sprays.
