Element Analysis

Wire EDM is one of the most non conventional machining processes used for cutting of different types of complex materials. Copper material in wire EDM has a wide application in several industries but its thermal and structural analysis in wire EDM has challenged the authors to model the work-piece and tools accurately using the software. The present work deals with the design of a 3 dimensional model of a work-piece material made of copper. The objective of the present work is to analyse the temperature, total heat flux and equivalent stress of the work-piece material using finite element analysis in ANSYS software. In the current work, a 3D model was designed with the Steady state thermal analysis and it was designed with the available experimental data using ANSYS workbench. The temperature and the total heat flux were calculated using this analysis. Another analysis is performed using Static structural to calculate the equivalent stress generated in the work-piece material using ANSYS. The model was developed for single spark only. Automated type of meshing and axi-symmetric type of geometry are considered for this experiment. The wire part is neglected and all the analysis is made on the work-piece only. XRD analysis is also performed on the work-piece material to know the crystallinity of the compound. Mesh Convergence test was also performed to determine the optimum solution for the requisite mesh. Finally the model was designed and various graphs were plotted for the temperature, total heat flux and equivalent stress of the material.

Flow And Heat Transfer

A numerical investigation of the flow and heat transfer characteristics of tip leakage in a typical film cooled industrial gas turbine rotor is presented in this paper. The computations were performed on a rotating domain of a single blade with a clearance gap of 1.28% chord in an engine environment. This standard blade featured two coolant and two dust holes, in a cavity-type tip with a central rib. The computations were performed using CFX 5.6, which was validated for similar flow situations by Krishnababu et al., [18]. These predictions were further verified by comparing the flow and heat transfer characteristics computed in the absence of coolant ejection with computations previously performed in the company (SIEMENS) using standard in-house codes. Turbulence was modelled using the SST k-ω turbulence model. The comparison of calculations performed with and without coolant ejection has shown that the coolant flow partially blocks the tip gap, resulting in a reduction of the amount of mainstream leakage flow. The calculations identified that the main detrimental heat transfer issues were caused by impingement of the hot leakage flow onto the tip. Hence three different modifications (referred as Cases 1 to 3) were made to the standard blade tip in an attempt to reduce the tip gap exit mass flow and the associated impingement heat transfer. The improvements and limitations of the modified geometries, in terms of tip gap exit mass flow, total area of the tip affected by the hot flow and the total heat flux to the tip, are discussed. The main feature of the Case 1 geometry is the removal of the rib and this modification was found to effectively reduce both the total area affected by the hot leakage flow and total heat flux to the tip while maintaining the same leakage mass flow as the standard blade. Case 2 featured a rearrangement of the dust holes in the tip which, in terms of aero-thermal-dynamics, proved to be marginally inferior to Case 1. Case 3, which essentially created a suction-side squealer geometry, was found to be inferior even to the standard cavity tip blade. It was also found that the hot spots which occur in the leading edge region of the standard tip and all modifications contributed significantly to the area affected by the hot tip leakage flow and the total heat flux.

Thawing Process

Permafrost has been thawing faster due to climate change which would release greenhouse gases, change the hydrological regimes, affect buildings above, and so on. It is necessary to study the thawing process of frozen soil. A water-heat coupling model for frozen soil thawing is established on Darcy’s law and Heat Transfer in Porous Media interfaces in Comsol Multiphysics 5.5. Three curves of total liquid water volume, minimum temperature, and total heat flux in the thawing process are obtained from a numerical simulation. The distributions of liquid water, temperature, and pressure based on time are simulated too. The liquid water distribution is consistent with the total liquid water volume curve. The temperature distribution is confirmed by the minimum temperature and total heat flux curve. The pressure distribution represents ice in the frozen soil that generates negative pressure during the melting process. The numerical simulation research in this article deepens the understanding of the internal evolution in the process of frozen soil thawing and has a certain reference value for subsequent experimental research and related applications.

Natural Break

This research investigates the applicability of combining spatial filter’s algorithm to extract surface ocean current. Accordingly, the raster filters were tested on 80–13,505 daily images to detect Kuroshio Current (KC) on weekly, seasonal, and climatological scales. The selected raster filters are convolution, Laplacian, north gradient, sharpening, min/max, histogram equalization, standard deviation, and natural break. In addition, conventional data set of sea surface currents, sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height (SSH), and non-conventional data such as total heat flux, surface density (SSD), and salinity (SSS) were employed. Moreover, controversial data on ocean color are included because very few studies revealed that chlorophyll-α is a proxy to SST in the summer to extract KC. Interestingly, the performance of filters is uniform and thriving for seasonal and on a climatological scale only by combining the algorithms. In contrast, the typical scenario of identifying Kuroshio signatures using an individual filter and by designating a value spectrum is inapplicable for specific seasons and data set. Furthermore, the KC’s centerlines computed from SST, SSH, total heat flux, SSS, SSD, and chlorophyll-α correlate with sea surface currents. Deviations are observed in the various segments of Kuroshio’s centerline extracted from heat flux, chlorophyll-α, and SSS flowing across Tokara Strait from northeast Taiwan to the south of Japan.

The Difference

To estimate the heat flowing into the workpiece in machining processes, an inverse algorithm based on the Conjugate Gradient Method (CGM) is proposed to estimate the unknown boundary heat flux. Outgoing from infrared temperature measurements the heat flowing into the work-piece for an orthogonal cut can be estimated. To increase convergence of the estimated solution, a sensitivity analysis of the direct problem is performed to determine the identifiability of the boundary heat flux on the measurement site. The proposed Fixed Identifiability Conjugate Gradient Method (FIX-CGM) computes a step size function considering the identifiability of the unknown boundary condition to minimize the objective function. In contrast, the CGM computes a scalar step size by integrating the difference between measured and calculated temperature over time. Results show that applying the FIX-CGM for a benchmark case with a step heat flux faster convergence, better accuracy and less sensitivity to noise are achieved.
