Aiming at the structural feature of starting water separator, a 3-D finite element model of temperature field is proposed. The starting water separator of a Ultra Supercritical Boiler(USB) has been numerically simulated by using of finite element soft ware Ansys. The boundary condition of the separator is determined. All of the working conditions are simulated. The results have the same distribution laws with the monitoring data of power plant. The maximum temperature difference between out wall and inner wall occurs in the temperature-rise period during the cold start-up, but the value between top wall and bottom wall is very lower. The simulation results can not only provide a basis for the thermal stress analysis and the life loss calculation but also provide rationalization proposal for the plant safe operation.

In this paper a numerical simulation of the construction process of roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams is presented. The following features of construction of mass concrete have been considered: hydration heat, age, placing temperature, starting placement date, and placing speed. A 3-D finite element model of the Long-Tan RCC dam, which is to be built in the Guangxi Autonomous Region in China, was analyzed. Temperature distribution and evolution inside the RCC dam were calculated during and after the completion of the dam. Using FortranTM code, a 3-D thermal simulation analysis of a high RCC dam can be realized on a computer at the construction site. Based on the real factors during the construction period, engineers can predict the distribution of temperature in the RCC dam. Therefore, engineers can take appropriate measures to control concrete temperature to reduce thermal stress within the dam. The effects of the concrete placing temperature, construction speed, and starting date on the temperature are discussed. It has been found that the maximum temperature in a dam can be reduced by 20% through temperature control measures.Key words: RCC dam, thermal simulation analysis, finite element method, temperature field, construction schedule.

Maximum Temperature Gradient

In this study, a multitrack and multilayer finite element model was developed to simulate the temperature field and molten pool contours during selective laser melting (SLM) of 316L stainless steel powder under different scanning strategies. The simulated temperature field and its evolution over time were compared with experimental measurement results. Furthermore, a correlation was established by the presented results between the predicted thermal behavior and the microstructure of SLM specimens. It was found that the maximum temperature of the molten pool rose slightly with the increase of scanning tracks, but when laser scanned multilayer, the maximum temperature rose first and then decreased. There are large columnar crystals in molten pools, growing in the direction of the maximum temperature gradient. The microstructure defects are more likely to occur at the bonding regions between adjacent layers and islands, where the heat and stress are concentrated. Moreover, the results also showed that the scanning strategy affects the microstructure and microhardness. Also, the SLM 316L parts under the S-shaped strategy had finer grains and a higher Vicker hardness than that formed under the island strategy.

Then find the changes law in different water cooling conditions of the temperature field temperature distribution and the stress strain field. Find the heat coefficient of H-beam by using the optimization analysis to reduce the differences of the temperature and the stress strain value, and also reduce the deformation in H-beam cooling process. The controlled cooling parameters of H-beam under optimal conditions are determined by the simulation experiment and comparative analysis. While exploring the changes of H-beam microstructure, stress and hardness can provide the reference for the making and designing of reasonable controlled cooling technology.

Turbine Housing

The fatigue life of turbine housing is an important index to measure the reliability of a radial turbocharger. The increase in turbine inlet temperatures in the last few years has resulted in a decrease in the fatigue life of turbine housing. A simulation method and experimental verification are required to predict the life of a turbine housing in the early design and development process precisely. The temperature field distribution of the turbine housing is calculated using the steady-state bidirectional coupled conjugate heat transfer method. Next, the temperature field results are considered as the boundary for calculating the turbine housing temperature and thermomechanical strain, and then, the thermomechanical strain of the turbine housing is determined. Infrared and digital image correlations are used to measure the turbine housing surface temperature and total thermomechanical strain. Compared to the numerical solution, the maximum temperature RMS (Root Mean Square) error of the monitoring point in the monitoring area is only 3.5%; the maximum strain RMS error reached 11%. Experimental results of temperature field test and strain measurement test show that the testing temperature and total strain results are approximately equal to the solution of the numerical simulation. Based on the comparison between the numerical calculation and experimental results, the numerical simulation and test results were found to be in good agreement. The experimental and simulation results of this method can be used as the temperature and strain (stress) boundaries for subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) simulation analysis of the turbine housing.

Forming Accuracy

The uniformity of temperature field distribution in creep aging process is very important to the forming accuracy of components. In this paper, the temperature field distribution of 2219 aluminum alloy tank cover during aging forming is simulated by using the finite element software FLUENT, and a two-stage heating process is proposed to reduce the temperature field distribution heterogeneity. The results show that the temperature difference of the tank cover is large in the single-stage heating process, and the maximum temperature difference is above 27°C,which seriously affects the forming accuracy of the tank cover. With two-stage heating process, the temperature difference in the first stage has almost no direct impact on the forming accuracy of the top cover. In the second stage, the temperature difference of the tank cover is controlled within 10°C, compared with the single-stage heating, the maximum temperature difference is reduced by more than 17°C. The two-stage heating effectively reduces the heterogeneity of the temperature field of the top cover. The research provides technical support for the precise thermal mechanical coupling of large-scale creep aging forming components.
