With the increase of combustion temperatures, the thermal radiation effect for hot components in the new generation of aero-engines has become a key factor in the combustion process, cooling structure design, and thermal protection. A radiation loading system can be used as an external heat source to simulate the real thermal environment of hot components in aero-engines. Total receiving power, as well as 3-D heat flux distribution, should better coincide with real conditions. With the aid of freeform optics and the feedback optimization method, the current study develops a concentrating-type radiation heating system fit for the leading-edge surface of a C3X turbine vane. A xenon lamp combined with a freeform reflector was optimized for controllable heat flux. A design method in the area of illumination engineering was innovatively extended for the current model. Considering the effect of polar angular radiative flux distribution of a xenon lamp, a Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) method was adopted to evaluate the optical performance. Feedback modifications based on Bayesian theory were adopted to obtain the optimal shape of the FFS for target heat flux. The current study seeks a feasible way to generate 3-D heat flux distribution for complex curved surfaces, such as turbine vane surfaces, and helps to simulate the real thermal environment of hot components in aero-engines.

Solar thermal towers are a maturing technology that have the potential to supply a significant part of energy requirements of the future. One of the issues that needs careful attention is the heat flux distribution over the central receiver’s surface. It is imperative to maintain receiver’s thermal stresses below the material limits. Therefore, an adequate aiming strategy for each mirror is crucial. Due to the large number of mirrors present in a solar field, most aiming strategies work using a data base that establishes an aiming point for each mirror depending on the relative position of the sun and heat flux models. This paper proposes a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) closed control loop based on a methodology that allows using conventional control strategies such as those based on Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. Results indicate that even this basic control loop can successfully distribute heat flux on the solar receiver.

This paper studies the heat transfer mechanism in deep grinding process, especially the heat flux to the workpiece. On the basis of triangle moving heat source, a quadratic curve heat flux model in the grinding zone was developed to determine the heat flux distribution and to estimate the surface temperature of workpiece. From the calculated theoretical expression of heat flux to the workpiece, the quadratic curve heat flux can be understood as the superposition of square law heat flux, triangular heat flux and uniform heat flux in the grinding zone. Then four heat flux models using the determined amount of heat flux were applied to estimate the workpiece surface temperatures which were compared with that measured by the embedded thermocouple. It has been found that the quadratic curve heat flux distribution seems to give the best match with measured and theoretical temperature, although square law heat flux model is good enough to predict the temperature.

Thin Film Thickness

The effects of contact angle and superheat on thin-film thickness and heat flux distribution occurring in a rectangle microgroove are numerically simulated. Accordingly, physical, and mathematical models are built in detail. Numerical results indicate that meniscus radius and thin-film thickness increase with the improvement of contact angle. The heat flux distribution in the thin-film region increases non-linearly as the contact angle decreases. The total heat transfer through the thin-film region increases with the improvement of superheat, and decreases as the contact angle increases. When the contact angle is equal to zero, the heat transfer in the thin-film region accounts for more than 80% of the total heat transfer. Intensive evaporation in the thin-film region plays a key role in heat transfer for the rectangle capillary microgroove. The liquid with higher wetting performance is more capable of playing the advantages of higher intensity heat transfer in thin- film region. The current investigation will result in a better understanding of thin- -film evaporation and its effect on the effective thermal conductivity in the rectangle microgroove.

A numerical procedure is presented for the entrance region of an inclined multirectangular-channel solar collector with significant buoyancy effects. The upper wall heat flux is taken to be uniform, while the lower wall is assumed to be insulated. The heat flux distribution on the side wall of the rectangular channel is obtained by coupling a heat-conduction numerical procedure in the metallic region surrounding the channel to the main numerical procedure which solves the hydrodynamic and energy equations of the flow inside the channel. Numerical results are presented for water flowing in a multirectangular-channel solar collector with an aspect ratio AR = 4 inclined at an angle α = 30 deg to the horizontal. The resulting variable heat flux distribution on the side wall enhances the intensity of the secondary flow. The effects of the nonuniform heat flux distribution and the spacing between the rectangular channels on the variation of Nusselt number in the entrance region are presented for different values of Rayleigh number. At a value of Ra = 5 × 105, Nusselt number is more than 300 percent above the constant property prediction.
