The mould temperature distribution has a great influence on the semi-solid diecasting. In the present study the temperature distribution of a plane-shaped mould was investigated by using the method of numerical simulation and experiment. The results showed that the preheating mould temperature field was affected by three important simulation parameters, the heat transfer coefficient hoil between the heat transfer oil and the mould, the heat transfer coefficient hair between the mould and the air, and the heat transfer coefficient hcontact between the mould core and the mould frame. The simulation results showed that (1) with the increase of hoil, the overall mould temperature imcreased; (2) with the increase of hair, the overall mould temperature decreased, while the surface temperature gradient of mould frame grad T-f and the temperature difference between the mould core and the mould frame ∆T increased; (3) With the increase of hcontact, ∆T decreased and the temperature of mould frame increased. When the heat oil temperature Toil=290°C, the heat transfer coefficients were optimized as hoil=500Wm-2K-1, hair=7Wm-2K-1, and hcontact=1000Wm-2K-1 according to the experimental results. The average temperature difference between the simulation result and the experimental result was 3.45°C, and the average relative error was 1.73%.

The SEED (Swirled Enthalpy Equilibrium Device) process was used to produce semi-solid slurries. One of the factors that controls whether or not a slug can be used to produce high quality castings is the solid fraction distribution within the slug, and the solid fraction distribution is strongly dependent upon the temperature distribution. In this study, a model has been developed using ProCAST to investigate the relationship between process parameters and the temperature distribution within slugs. The parameters examined included the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and slug, the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and air, the slug diameter, and the initial melt temperature (pouring temperature). It was found that the most important parameters controlling the temperature distribution within slugs were the crucible size and the heat transfer coefficient between crucible and air. Adjustment of other parameters had little influence on the temperature distribution. Processing parameters will be discussed in order to allow the SEED process to be used for the production of large diameter slugs (>100 mm), and for narrow freezing range (0.3<fs<0.5, fs is fraction solid) alloys such as 6063.

Most of the cracks on concrete dam are external ones, while external heat preservation is an important measure to prevent cracking. In order to obtain the actual thermal parameters, according to thermal conduction theory and the temperature distribution conditions of optical fiber on concrete surface, the surface temperature distribution of concrete pouring deck was real-time monitored by setting optical fiber in different depths; then the surface heat flux of mass concrete was calculated, thereby the equivalent surface heat transfer coefficient, which varied as time goes, was inversed. It is indicated that the inversion process is relatively simple and reliable, and the heat transfer coefficient obtained can well reflect the real performance of the insulation materials. Meanwhile, it is also indicated that the heat transfer coefficient of equivalent surface varies as time goes, which can contribute to back analysis calculation and actual engineering practice.

In order to study the effect on heat transfer performance of evaporator in the gravity feed liquid refrigeration system the different evaporator area, the simulation procedure is worked out. The procedure uses the visual basic language. The procedure can figure out the heat transfer coefficient and the temperature difference in different evaporator area and evaporating temperature with the required refrigerating capacity. Through simulation calculation, when the area is 80% of the original design area of evaporator, the evaporator of the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer temperature difference is the most reasonable and the evaporator of the refrigerating capacity can meet the requirements of cold storage. The program provides the reliable data for the gravity feed liquid cooling system optimization.

An existing three-dimensional Navier–Stokes code (Arnone et al., 1991), modified to include film cooling considerations (Garg and Gaugler, 1994), has been used to study the effect of coolant velocity and temperature distribution at the hole exit on the heat transfer coefficient on three film-cooled turbine blades, namely, the C3X vane, the VKI rotor, and the ACE rotor. Results are also compared with the experimental data for all the blades. Moreover, Mayle’s transition criterion (1991), Forest’s model for augmentation of leading edge heat transfer due to free-stream turbulence (1977), and Crawford’s model for augmentation of eddy viscosity due to film cooling (Crawford et al., 1980) are used. Use of Mayle’s and Forest’s models is relevant only for the ACE rotor due to the absence of showerhead cooling on this rotor. It is found that, in some cases, the effect of distribution of coolant velocity and temperature at the hole exit can be as much as 60 percent on the heat transfer coefficient at the blade suction surface, and 50 percent at the pressure surface. Also, different effects are observed on the pressure and suction surface depending upon the blade as well as upon the hole shape, conical or cylindrical.

Recently great expectations were put into the insulation of combustion chamber walls. A considerable reduction in fuel consumption, a marked reduction of the heat flow to the cooling water, and a significant increase of exhaust gas energy were predicted. In the meantime there exists an increasing number of publications reporting on significant increase of fuel consumption with total or partial insulation of the combustion chamber walls. In [1] a physical explanation of this effect is given: Simultaneously with the decrease of the temperature difference between gas and wall as a result of insulation, the heat transfer coefficient between gas and wall increases rapidly due to increasing wall temperature, thus overcompensating for the decrease in temperature difference between gas and wall. Hence a modified equation for calculation of the heat transfer coefficient was presented [1]. In the paper to be presented here, recent experimental results are reported that confirm the effects demonstrated in [1], including the influence of the heat transfer coefficient, which depends on the wall temperature, on the performance of naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines.

Based on the EES software, a heat transfer coefficient calculation program about double pipe heat exchanges is established. Some experimental data are compared to the simulation data for proving that the program can predict the heat transfer coefficient of the double pipe heat exchangers, and then the change of heat transfer coefficient is calculated and analyzed with relevant parameters. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient of heat exchanger are increasing with the flow of the shell side, the tube side and the logarithmic mean temperature difference, and when the temperature difference equals to 12°C, the total heat transfer coefficient can up to 2400W/m2.K or so.

The heat-transfer coefficient (HTC) in internal-coolant passages can vary appreciably about a heat-transfer enhancement feature such as a pin fin, a rib, and a concavity because of stagnation regions and wakes about the enhancement feature. However, the computed or measured HTC is often averaged spatially in the spanwise direction or over some region when used in the design of cooling strategies. Since the variation in the HTC could be a factor of eight or more about an enhancement feature, it is of interest to understand the effects of averaging the HTC on the predicted temperature distribution in the solid subjected to the heating and cooling. In this computational study, a flat plate of thickness H (1 mm) and length L = 20H is heated on one side by either a constant heat flux (68 W/cm2) or a constant HTC (1,167.2 W/m2-K) and a constant hot-gas temperature (1,482 °C). On the cooled side, the free stream or bulk temperature is kept constant (400 °C) and the average HTC (1,442.5 W/m2-K) is kept constant as well. This average HTC on the cooled side is the average of a higher HTC (hH) and a lower HTC (hL). Two types of changes from hH to hL are considered — abrupt (or step) and gradual. When the HTC changes abruptly, hH is imposed over LH, and hL is imposed over LL=L–LH. When the HTC changes gradually from hH to hL, hH is imposed from from x = 0 to LH/2, and hL is imposed from x = 3LH/2 to L with a smooth variation in the HTC to connect hH and hL. Results obtained show that when the averaged HTC is used, the maximum temperature in the plate is 900 °C on the heated side of the plate. However, if the variation in the HTC is accounted for, then the maximum temperature in the plate could be as high as 1.363 times the maximum temperature predicted by assuming an averaged HTC. Also, for the range of parameters studied, the difference in the maximum and minimum temperature in the plate can increase by a factor of 16, which strongly affects thermal stress.
